Vaderstad TopDown Brochure - LiveUpdater

1Front discs – cut up and mix inAt the front are two rows of serratedconical discs with a diameter of 430mm, manufactured from the hard anddurable V-55 steel, which guaranteeslong lifetime and low maintenancecosts. The discs chop up harvest trashand mix it into the upper part of the soil.They work best when the driving speedis high, 10 - 15 km/h. This gives fullincorporation because the discs throwsoil energetically to the side. As soon asthe harvest trash is mixed in, biologicalprocesses set to work and the decompositionrate increases. The workingdepth of the discs can be adjustedsteplessly during work.The 4 points of the2Tines – break up and loosenThe cultivator section of TopDownconsists of three rows of rigid tinesdeveloped to loosen the soil. Thesetines can be fitted with different pointoptions - 50, 80 or 120 mm wide cultivatorpoints. In addition, the 80 and 120mm wide points can be complementedwith a 300 mm wide wing share. Thewing blades are used when full-widthcultivation is required below theworking depth of the discs and the soilhas to be loosened. The narrow cultivatortines are more suitable for breakingup hardened areas or mixing in largeamounts of straw. One of the advantageswith having two types of points isthat the total draught requirement isreduced. Another advantage is thatthey bring up fewer large clods to thesoil surface.
