X-Cutter disc for very shallow soil tillage

Maximum shredding capacity and mixing intensity for the Catros⁺ compact disc harrow

X-Cutter disc
The new X-Cutter disc has a diameter of 480 mm for a high peripheral speed and performs optimally at working depths from 2 to 8 cm. Thanks to the special wavy profile, the discs maintain that full-surface cultivation across the entire working width, even at these very shallow working depths. The special disc profile produces an intensive movement of the full-surface area and is sure to impress with its high mixing intensity close to the surface that generates faster rotting. This provides optimum conditions for the following crop.

Optimum shallow chopping and mixing
Very shallow tillage plays an increasingly important role when it comes to carefully managing the water balance in the soil. Shallow tillage significantly reduces the loss through evaporation of valuable soil moisture, particularly in hot and dry summers. Much less soil is moved than with other discs, which need to operate at much greater depths to move the full soil surface.

Optimum use in combination with the knife roller
All Catros⁺ models can be equipped with the X-Cutter disc. Combining the X-Cutter disc with the knife roller provides a multi-dimensional cutting profile, thereby increasing the longitudinal and lateral shredding intensity in stubbles, straw and catch crops.
