SL700
:
A new dimension in cultivator performance
With a working width of 7 metres, the SL 700 is a purpose-built unit for the very high horsepower tractors (450hp+). It is available only in Disc Tine Disc (DTD) format, which comprises a single row of X-Press type discs followed by 2 rows of ST tines, another set of discs and a 700mm DD Lite rear roller.
The design of the SL 700 ensures that it can work at shallow depths with the discs and deeper depths with loosening tines as two distinct operations within the machine. This is a different concept to some other machines where deeper working tines, for example, have to supplement the working operation of discs. This can result in a compromise where clods are boiled to the surface, reducing seedbed quality. With the SL, the key design criteria of the tine is to give a complete shatter of the soil profile at depth without bringing clods and subsoil to the surface.
Front Discs
One row of serrated discs at the front of the machine chop and mix the surface trash. Manufactured from boron steel to give extended working life they are 600mm (24”) in diameter. Each disc is mounted on a Pro-Active leaf spring allowing better contour following and improved stone protection. The discs working angle can be adjusted using a track rod system operated by a single handle giving stepless change.
ST Tines
Two rows of Shallow Tines (ST) are fitted as standard, with 16 tines in total. The Simba Horsch TerraGrip legs have six depth settings in 25mm increments and a choice of knock on points, to create a cultivation effect that can be readily matched to the soil type and conditions. Low Disturbance (LD) Tines are available as an option. This innovative leg performsconsiderable cultivation and soil restructuring at depth in the root zone without disturbing or inverting any weathered tilth from the surface.
Rear DD Roller
The soil is consolidated at the rear of the machine with a proven 700mm DD roller.
Rear Drawbar
Fitted as standard, a rear drawbar with hydraulics enables you to pull a light roll or press in tandem with the cultivator. When an optional Oilseed Rape Kit is fitted the rape seed is blown to the rear of the DD rings on a firmed level surface. A following roll consolidates the seed without loss of moisture.
