TopDown concept3Rear discs – level and smoothThe rear discs on TopDown level outfurrows left by the tines. The soil left bythe rear discs is smoother and moreeven. These discs are mounted onrubber suspension, which ensures goodcontouring and high stone tolerance.The levelling discs can be steplesslycontrolled by the hydraulics from thetractor cab during work. With this kindof technical solution, it is easier to suitthe degree of levelling to the conditionsin individual fields and to the amount ofcoarse material on the soil surface.4Steel rings – firm the soilsurfaceThe final tillage zone on TopDownconsists of a row of steel rings that firmthe soil. In dry conditions in particular,it is important that the soil is firmed sothat germination of volunteer plantsand weeds is quick and uniform. Thedegree of firming can be controlledaccording to need at every stage fromthe free weight of the rollers to thewhole weight of TopDown being carriedon the rings to produce maximumconsolidation. The steel rings have anaggressive profile, which works thestraw and forces it into the surface layerto ensure optimal decomposition rate.The steel rings can also be operated inthe raised position if the conditionsdemand.
