The XL version of the Disc Roller Contour provides a one-pass, high speed solution for both shallow and deep cultivation and incorporation of crop or cover crop residues.
Developed in response to demand for a heavier disc-type machine, the Disc Roller XL Contour is designed for a more aggressive cultivation than its smaller sibling, the Disc Roller Contour.
While similar to the existing Opico imported range, the notable difference on the new versions are the larger 610mm Sabre discs. These allow the XL to work at depths of up to 160mm to cope with larger volumes of crop residues, as well as the destruction of cover crops.
The Danish company’s contour following system is said to come into its own when working at shallow depths to ensure all undulations of the field are evenly cultivated to the same depth across the full working width.
Moving the whole soil surface, He-Va’s depth synchronised disc (DSD) system is claimed to be effective in both shallow soils and at depth. Disc depth control is hydraulically operated from the tractor cab.
Front tool options include the Top Cutter, Slicerboards, straw tines and Shattaboards. The latter is said to be ideal for working down ploughed land ready for drilling.
Offered in rigid widths of 2.75m and 3.25m, and folding versions of 4.25m, 5.25m, 6.25m and 7.75m, the Disc Roller XL Contour will be on display for the first time on the Opico stand at the Cereals Event (30 June and 1 July 2021). The 300 (2.75m) model (single V profile roller) costs from £24,216.
