Swift, low cost stubble cultivation up to 12 cm.
SWIFTERDISC XO_F Disc cultivator

A perfectly flat field left in its wake due to the rear packers which consists of 3 parts which overlap each other.
The Alfa Drill option to drill covering crops.
High working speeds of up to 15 km/h due to the excellent stability of the machine. Higher working speed = better quality work.
A-discs (aggressive) give you the option of a better cutting and mixing effect.
A transport axle placed in front of the rear packer = excellent stability also at high working speeds and a small turn radius.
SWIFTERDISC XO_F is a short compact disc cultivator with high working speeds of up to 15 km/h.
Thanks to the precise distribution of the center of gravity (the axle is placed in front of the rear packer) the machine excels and is perfectly stable, irrespective of the high operating speeds.
Each arm is fitted with a pair of discs (Twin-Disc system). The offer also includes the unique A-discs which cut crop residue better and mixe it with the soil. This will allow you to cultivate large amounts of crop residue.
A perfectly smooth surface without any ridges between the packers is ensured by the three-piece overlapping rear packer.
MACHINE TYPE | semi-mounted disc cultivator of short conception |

SECURING | each arm with zero-maintenance rubber segments |
USAGE | swift, low cost and high quality stubble cultivation, crop residue cutting, seedbed preparation |
WORKING OPERATIONS | loosens the surface layer, cuts crop residue, uniform mixing of crop residue, disrupts capillarity, settlement and compaction, seedbed preparation, drill covering crops (with Alfa Drill) |
Thanks to the integrated transport axle the machine is very stable regardless of its high speed and has a small turning radius.
High speed intensive stubble cultivation or seedbed preparation. The quality of the work can be increased by using A-discs.
AGRONOMIC ADVANTAGES OF THE MACHINE
The stubble cultivated immediately after the harvest takes advantage of the higher soil moisture content.
Fast stubble tillage forms the foundation for a managed germination process of second growth and weeds following the harvest.
Shallow tillage means greater humus content in the upper soil layer creating a more throughput soil (no soil crust).
Fine crumbling due to the high speed of the machine and the resulting high circumferential speed of the packers, which delivers a flatter field without clods.
Consolidation of the worked surface ensures the germination of volunteer plants and weeds.
Agrotechnical deadlines are met as a result of the machine’s high performance and coverage.
All-purpose tool for stubble tillage, soil preparation and intercropping with an Alfa Drill.

COST SAVINGS BENEFITS
Quality tillage in one pass – one pass instead of many, quality cutting, mixing and incorporation of plant residue due in particular to the profiled aggressive A-discs.
High operating speeds – means cutting costs and the number of hours spent out on the field. The high speeds are reached thanks to the high stability of the machine.
Large area capacity – SwifterDisc is a light disc cultivator which can be connected to tractors of lower output, while the operating width and operating speed guarantee unusually high performance.
Low maintenance costs – the components have a longer lifespan.

YOU CAN USE THE SWIFTERDISC FOR
Shallow and fast stubble tillage to stimulate volunteer plant and weed germination and prevent capillary action.
Maintain the moisture in the soil by compacting the surface with a rear packer immediately after the harvest.
Seedbed preparation which includes levelling the furrow.
The incorporation of plant material such as intercrops.
Planting intercrops and grasses using an Alfa Drill.

BETTER QUALITY WORK

A-DISCS: A NEW DIMENSION TO WORK QUALITY
Specially shaped discs of 520 (560mm) in diameter and a wall thickness of 5 mm with significantly high cutting and mixing abilities compared to other classic cutting discs. A-discs have a large number of blades around their circumference for the easy incorporation of large amounts of crop residue. These sharp blades cut up the crop residue efficiently. The profiled shape also allows a larger amount of soil to be lifted up than with standard serrated discs. Each profiled disk takes soil and takes it to the plant mulch where it is mixed. This concept delivers excellent results.
THE TWIN-DISC ENSURES A BETTER THROUGHPUT
The discs work in pairs on one arm. This solution means the distance between each arm is larger (50 cm). This results in more space for the material to pass through the machine. The machine can work smoothly even when the combine has left clumps of straw on the field. SwifterDisc cuts it up, spreads it out, mixes it with soil and covers it.


THE INTEGRATED AXLE
The axle located in front of the packers balances the centre of gravity and reduces the turn radius at the headlands.

FOLDING THE MACHINE
The swifterdisc xo_f can be folded upwards along the central frame, having two side frames. it has a transport width up to 3 m.

FRONT SUPPORTING WHEELS
The supporting wheels help maintain a constant working depth even at high
operating speeds. It also helps prevent the machine from rocking.
WHY SHOULD THE CULTIVATION BE DONE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE HARVEST
The foundations for successful crop growth are laid when harvesting the previous crop. By tilling the stubble immediately after harvest, you can use the moistness of the soil, which was protected from the sun by the stems.
Fast tilling ensures the reliable and even germination of volunteer plants and weeds. The basis for success here is a short interval between the harvest and sowing. Whether the farming is done by using a minimum-tillage system or a conventional method it is irrelevant.


A DISC DIAMETER OF 520 (560mm
The standard model of SwifterDisc cultivators is fitted with serrated discs with with a dimension of 520 (560mm). For an additional fee, you can have the machine fitted with aggressively profiled A-discs.

SECURING OF DISCS
Rubber segments prevent bumps created during soil tillage. The machine functions quickly without maintenance regardless of tough conditions. High quality, long-life rubber is used!

SIDE SECTION SHIELDS
SwifterDisc machines can be equipped with side shields (discs) which prevent the formation of ridges around the edges of the machine. Individual passes cannot be seen.

HYDRAULIC DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
The working depth can easily be set using the roller control, or the front supporting wheels. It can be set mechanically or hydraulically.

FRONT HYDRAULICAL PADDLE LEVELLING BAR – CRUSHBAR
The SwifterDisc XO_F and XE models can be fitted with a front hydraulic paddle levelling bar – Crushbar (excellent for seedbed preparation). It levels out the land including the rough furrow in front of the discs.

MAINTENANCE-FREE AXIAL BEARINGS
Axial ball bearings with oblique contact are encased with two static, one dynamic cassette and four rib seals in a solid metal body.
1 – dynamic cassette sealing with four ribs,
2 – metal body, 3 – static sealing,
4 – four-point bearing, 5 – double sealing
STABLE TILLAGE, FLAT LAND
For tillage, a level surface must be maintained both horizontally to the direction of work and along the direction of work. To achieve flat land without mounds, the machine must operate smoothly and in a stable manner.
Any unwanted movement of the machine through, e.g. rocking, creates an uneven field. Till with the stable SwifterDisc with its cleverly positioned centre of gravity.
