DUCAT – Compact disc harrows

RESULT IN ONE PASS.

In recent years the aim of stubble cultivation has been changed from weed control to incorporation of the fallen seeds and crop residues, as there is a lot of long and non uniform straw on the field after min-till.

DUCAT disc harrow is indispensable in such conditions.

The DUCAT compact disc harrows are highly-efficient implements, presented as a full range with working widths from 2,5 m to 16,75 m.

APPLICATION

DUCAT disc harrow is the most suitable for stubble cultivation. It provides intensive mixing of the soil and vegetation at a depth from 3 to 14 cm. Design and position of working tools ensure high-quality seedbed preparation, making possible considerable expansion of the compact disc harrow application area in agriculture, increase of its annual capacity and operation efficiency.

“ZERO” MAINTENANCE!

Compact disc harrows with working widths of 2,5, 3 and 4 m are mounted implements with solid frames, which are simply transported and don’t require additional adjustment.

The implements are maintenance-free (without any lubrication points), which is quite convenient for small farms. There is noting to lubricate, adjust or tighten. By purchasing such implement the farmer significantly improves tillage efficiency, while reducing the costs.

UNSURPASSED CULTIVATION UNIFORMITY

Compact disc harrows with working widths of 5 and 6 m are foldable aggregates, which are designed for the most popular tractors of 150-250 hp. When folding to transport position, two semi-frames are lifted vertically and the chassis move down. Transport width of 3 m corresponds to European requirements, and provides high manoeuvrability and smooth ride by Ukrainian farm and public roads.

The DUCAT-5 and DUCAT-6 have increased discs spacing in longitudinal direction and increased disc load capacity (about 100 kg), which improve the quality of cultivation – from 3 to 14 cm. Thus they can also pass through the heavy soil with bigger amount of crop residues.

VERSATILE SOLUTION

A working width of 8 m can be achieved by application of the DUCAT-8 or two pieces of the DUCAT-4, mounted to the THALER system carrier. These are two different implements.

Main advantage of the DUCAT-8, compared to configuration on the base of the THALER system carrier, is higher load, absorbed by disc (100 kg against 65 kg), which allows operating in the harsh soil conditions with hard surface and big amount of crop residues and weeds. DUCAT-8 is not conventionally foldable. It is transported in cross direction (relatively to operating position) by means of two hydraulically controlled hitch frames: the main one and side transport one. Dimension in transport position is 4 m.

THALER-8 with two mounted harrows DUCAT-4 – is a complex consisting of the system carrier and two mounted standard implements with working widths of 4 m. The main advantage of this complex is high universality and maneuverability. Folding takes several seconds, and the transport width is only 3 m. Mounted implements can be also used individually. For example, the DUCAT-4 can be easily removed from the THALER-8 system carrier and coupled to the tractor with power from 130 hp. Then you can mount two other implements with working width of 3,5…4,2 m and get wide-coverage machine with working width of 7…8,4 m.

COMPACT GIANTS

DUCAT-12 and DUCAT-16 are the biggest aggregates in the range of compact disc harrows.

In addition to all advantages of this series – highest performance, economy, field contours following – the DUCAT-12 has very compact transport width – only 3 m.

Specially for the DUCAT-12 there was designed a side frames folding system, which is fundamentally different from the systems, realized in the DUCAT-8 and DUCAT-16. DUCAT-12 is an optimal wide-coverage machine for tractors from 350 hp.
