HE-VA Combi-Disc Cultivator Heading to the Highlands

Designed specifically for those running mid-sized tractors, the new model has a 2.45m working width and four deep soil-loosening legs – rather than the five employed on 2.75m versions. These changes put the horsepower requirement for the smallest Combi-Disc at just 155hp, making this versatile one-pass tillage tool much more accessible to a wider range of growers.

The Combi-Disc employs two leading rows of soil-loosening legs followed by two rows of serrated sabre discs to provide a surface chopping and mixing effect. This is all followed up with V-profile roller to produce a corrugated, weather-proof finish.

It’s this combination of soil-engaging elements that makes the Combi-Disc such an adaptable tool. In normal circumstances the tines, discs and press are used in partnership to turn previously uncultivated ground into a seedbed in one pass. When conditions require it, the discs can be lifted completely out of work, enabling the unit to be used as a straightforward subsoil loosener/pan-buster.

Likewise, with the legs lifted out of contention, the machine can be put to work as a straightforward shallow disc cultivator.
