Disc harrow Simply 200 cm Tolmet

Harrowing is one of the most important activities performed on a farm to improve the condition of the soil before sowing and level its surface. It is not without reason that this valuable agricultural machine is called a disc harrow , because often the term " disking " is used instead of harrowing. This operation loosens the soil very well, crushes the uncrushed furrow, eliminates weeds, and thanks to the possibility of leveling the surface, it prevents water loss from the soil and covers the already sown seeds.

The Simply 200 cm Tolmet disc harrow has 16 toothed discs (2 x 8) with a diameter of 510 mm and a rear bearing string roller with a diameter of Ø 440 mm. The discs are mounted in two rows on rubber cushioning. The spacing between the disc beams is 800 mm. This model of harrow will work on a working width of 200 m. This harrow requires connection to a farm tractor with a minimum power of 60 hp. It has an automatic drawbar. For a better working effect, the disc harrow can be weighted down, the weight basket is included in the set. The advantage of this harrow model is the string roller included in the set.
