12C:
Improved penetration and maintenance
Simba 'sets the standard' for Disc Harrows, with its ranges enabling farmers of all sizes to achieve cost effective seedbed preparation across all main soil types.
When combined with a following press Simba discs can turn stubble - with or without spread straw - into a well cultivated and consolidated stale seedbed in one pass.
The company's C Series discs perform a unique "progressive" cultivation that has several key advantages over conventional discings. On these harrows, the rear discs are slightly larger than those on the front gang and set at wider spacings on the axle. As a result both gangs cut fresh soil, improving penetration and maintenance of working depth while also reducing side drafts and crabbing.
Because the full working depth is reached in two steps the size of clods produced is limited, leading to a finer seedbed. The wider spacings of the rear discs assists trash flow through the machine, enabling it to work successfully in trashy and moist conditions. The choice of model will depend on the soil types and job required, while the size is likely to be selected according to the acreage to be covered and the desired workrate.
The 12C Series - available in 3.0m, 4.4m, 5.3m and 6.1m working widths - is designed to perform primary and secondary cultivations to 75mm - 100mm on light and medium soils and typically require 30hp/metre.
