Maintenance free Silent Block System

Four rubber SILENT BLOCKS are interposed between the frame and the discs. This system connection does not require any maintenance and protects the unit from stone damages.

VELOCE FRAME

SQUARE GUARD

A new solution has been developed to improve lateral refining in tillage work: a square guard in place of the classic disc. It is easy to set and ensures complete retention even when large amounts of residue are involved. If the right settings are made before commencing work, no line or furrow will be seen between one pass and the next.

DISC DESIGN AND SETTING

VELOCE disc harrow is equipped by concave, toothed and large blade discs (20 in). The perfect disc overlapping permits a uniform soil turnover on all working width.

LIGHT DISC HARROW APPLICABLE ON TILLED OR NO TILLED SOILS

VELOCE is designed to accomplish several actions in the field:

• Residue sizing – Aggressive notched blades slice through crop residue to effectively size it for rapid decomposition.
• Residue blending – The high-speed rotation of the discs turns the soil while chopping residue. This results in an ideal mixture of tilled soil with properly sized residue.
• Oxygen introduction/warming – As the soil and residue are mixed, oxygen enters the tilled zone and in cooler soils the action also warms the seed zone for rapid crop rooting and emergence.
• Activation of soil bacteria – Machinery doesn’t break down crop residue as the soil bacteria does. When soil is warmed and oxygen is introduced, soil bacteria becomes active and feeds on crop residue. During this process, the residue decomposes and the nutrients become available for new plantings.
• Finishing – Consolidating the soil/residue mix helps bacteria break down residue better. The consolidated surface also produces an ideal seedbed, prevents erosion and creates a capillary effect to preserve moisture.
