Key properties

SWIFTERDISC XE speed discs offer a series of technical solutions that make them suitable for both tillage and seedbed preparation

VERSATILITY

Its true name. See for yourself.

Tillage after harvest
Seedbed preparation

Tillage is one of the most important field operations. According to the proper agricultural procedures, it should be done as soon after harvest as possible. For this operation the SWIFTERDISC XE can be equipped with notched or aggressive blades with a diameter of 20″×0.2″ or 22″×0.2″, providing excellent cutting, mixing with soil and incorporation of trash. The rear packers consolidate soil and close the cultivated soil profile to ensure even emergence of weeds and unwanted cereal seeds.

The small blade diameter in combination with a high working speed provide a high circumferential speed of the discs, which leads to excellent crumbling and mixing effect of the blade gang. If you are planning to use the high speed disc for seedbed preparation more frequently, we recommend adding the front Crushbar levelling bar to the SWIFTERDISC XE for levelling and breaking the rough furrow.

HYDRAULIC SETTING

Easy and fast high speed disc working depth setting.

The required working depth is set precisely using hydraulics. The implement working depth can be easily set using tipping spacers on the hydraulic cylinders of the speed disc.

CRUSHBAR LEVELLER

Use the high speed disc for seedbed preparation as well.

To increase the all-year-round utilisation, the SWIFTERDISC XE high speed disc can be equipped with the hydraulically controlled Crushbar levelling bar in the front. This combination provides perfect soil profile levelling, clod crumbling, and seedbed preparation.

AXLE SHIFTED FORWARD

Contributes to ideal weight distribution

The SWIFTERDISC XE high speed disc have the transport axle shifted forward, in front of the first blade gang. This design contributes to ideal weight distribution and allows it to achieve higher working speeds. The telescopic connecting rods help stabilise frames where the disc gang are mounted.

EVEN WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION

Always the same down pressure on both frames of the blade gang.

Maintaining the set working depth for even soil profile processing is the foundation of quality tillage. The SWIFTERDISC XE speed discs provide the same pressure on discs along the entire tool width thanks to the axle being moved forward and the concept of two folding side frames. The structural design of the machine reduces the number of hydraulic cylinders where side frame pressure could be lost. This design also reduces the number of points of lubrication, the overall wear of the implement, and it simplifies manipulation with the machine, both in the field and on the road.

CONTINUOUS AND FAST TURNING AT HEADLAND

With the gauge wheels and rear rollers.

The SWIFTERDISC XE high speed disc is easily manoeuvred at headlands. The speed disc turns on the rear rollers and gauge wheels at headlands, only the blade gang is lifted up without the need to lift up the entire frame. This design eliminates the negative load on the hitch and unloads the tractor when the implement is in the headland position.

FORWARD IMPLEMENT FOLDING

Provides compact dimensions and safe transport.

Even with the working width of 40′ 8″, the SWIFTERDISC XE high speed disc is very compact in transport mode, because it does not exceed the transport width of 9′ 10″ and the height of the machine is just below 13′ 1″. Such parameters are achieved thanks to the forward side frame folding, towards the drawbar.

ALFA DRILL SEEDER

Simple and easy cover crop establishment using a speed disc with a seeder.

The SWIFTERDISC XE speed disc can be equipped with the BEDNAR ALFA DRILL seeder while in production, for seeding cover crop and small-seed plants during tillage, all in one pass. The time and fuel savings are considerable. The seeder has a capacity of 22 bu.

THINK BIG

Do more for less with maximum daily output

The large SWIFTERDISC high speed disc are designed for connection with the most powerful tractors on the market. These speed discs offer maximum daily output thanks to their sophisticated design and high working speed.

Machine description

A concise summary of the main working tools of the high speed disc

SWIFTERDISC XE High Speed Disc

Take a look at your future machine.

Axle shifted forward

Provides ideal distribution of the implement weight and contributes to precise adherence to the set working depth thanks to the identical pressure on the blade gang.

Dual guage wheels

Provides excellent terrain contouring and maintains the set working depth along the entire width of the implement.

Crushbar levelling bar

The hydraulically controlled Crushbar levelling bar is especially suitable for initial surface levelling and for breaking the rough furrow in front of the blade gang. The individual leveller paddles are reinforced. It is easily controlled using the hydraulic circuit from the comfort of the cabin.

Blade gang

Blade gang with notched or aggressive discs, with a diameter of 20″ / 22″×0.2″ , and high throughput thanks to the Twin-Disc system.

Long drawbar

Provides safe turning at headlands and enables the forward side frame folding.

Rear packers

The wide range of rear packers and rollers makes it possible to adjust the machine to any conditions.

OUR INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES

TWIN-DISC MOUNTING SYSTEM

One arm for two blades allows for excellent trash flow. Crop residue such as huge amounts of straw or cornstalks can easily pass through the implement. Most high-speed discs have only one disc blade on each arm. Such design restricts the flow of the material namely in wet conditions or in heavy residue.

RUBBER TORSION PROTECTION

Two disc blades per arm design provides twice the space for rubber torsion protection. The rubber elements absorb shocks coming from the blades working the ground. The speed disc works fast and without maintenance even in the most difficult conditions. The elements are made from high quality rubber with a long service life.

MAINTENANCE-FREE BEARINGS

Our oblique contact ball bearings are closed by two static and one dynamic cassette seal with four sealing ribs and run in a solid metal body. The hubs are attached to the blade with six bolts. They are oversized to ensure a trouble-free operation.

Accessories

We know that everyone has different requirements for the optional implement equipment and its expected use. Therefore, you can specify your own SWIFTERDISC XE speed disc to precisely match your needs.

Front equipment

Dual gauge wheels

Provide excellent terrain contouring and maintain the set working depth across the entire implement width.

Crushbar leveller

The hydraulically controlled Crushbar levelling bar is especially suitable for initial surface levelling and for breaking the rough furrow in front of the disc gang. The individual levelling paddles are reinforced. It is easily controlled using the hydraulic circuit from the comfort of the cabin.

Disc gang

Aggressive disc blades

The specially shaped disc blades offer a higher cutting and mixing effect. They also penetrate soil better in the dry season. The aggressive blades have a lot of cutting edges along the circumference for easy incorporation of a large quantity of crop residue. The sharp blades efficiently cut crop residue. Moreover, the profiled shape allows bringing out more soil. Available with a diameter of 20″ × 0.2″ and 22″ × 0.2″.

AGRONOMICAL GUIDE

PRIMARY TILLAGE
Quality and fast primary tillage is one of the most important operations in tillage. According to good agrotechnical practices, it should be carried out as soon as possible after the harvest. This will ensure the optimisation of soil moisture management, the rapid emergence of weeds and thus prevent the later weeding of land.
