Promoting good soil health is essential for productivity and sustainable profitability in agriculture. Minimal tillage has gained popularity due to advancements in cultivation equipment design, contributing to improved environmental benefits and soil health. New Holland's SDM and SDH compact disc cultivators are a part of this progression.
Designed to meet the needs of combinable, forage, and root crop producers, the New Holland SDM medium-duty and SDH heavy-duty disc cultivators offer exceptional versatility. They are engineered to perform effectively across various soil types and working conditions. SDM and SDH discs provide an efficient balance between operational cost-effectiveness and high productivity. These cultivators find key applications in minimal tillage, slug control, over-wintered stubble management, secondary cultivation, crop residue management, post root crop soil leveling, and seedbed preparation.
NEW HOLLAND SDM MEDIUM-DUTY DISC CULTIVATORS: LOOKING AFTER YOUR SOILS AND BUDGET
New Holland offers SDM medium-duty compact disc cultivators in widths ranging from 3.0m to 7.0m, catering to both small and large farms. The mounted SDM 300 R can be used with tractors as small as 100hp, providing efficient performance with a simple, cost-effective design. The largest model, the trailed SDM 700 T, is compatible with tractors between 240hp and 320hp. Thanks to its shallow concave disc design, wide 250mm disc spacing, and minimal lateral soil throw, each model maintains low draft requirements and high work rates. These features, combined with operational speeds of up to 15kph, result in reduced fuel consumption and effective crop residue clearance.
NEW HOLLAND SDH HEAVY-DUTY DISC CULTIVATORS: REDUCED TILLAGE, LONG-TERM BENEFIT
New Holland's SDH heavy-duty disc cultivators, available in working widths from 3.0m to 6.0m, offer a modern and efficient approach to sustainable crop production. These cultivators are designed to operate at soil depths of 6cm to 12cm and come in three models: the fully mounted SDH 300 R, and the trailed SDH 500 T and SDH 600 T. Each model features large 610mm diameter concave discs with an aggressive tilt angle for effective mixing and penetration. They can achieve operating speeds of up to 15kph without sacrificing leveling or crop residue incorporation.
The SDH 300 R, suitable for tractors with just 140hp, offers a simple design and easy setup for cost-effective performance. The largest model, the SDH 600 T, is designed for tractors with 260hp to 360hp. All SDH models are characterized by low draft requirements relative to their working width and wide 250mm disc spacing, ensuring efficient crop residue clearance, high work rates, and reduced fuel consumption.
NEW HOLLAND COMPACT DISC CULTIVATORS: CONSISTENT DEPTH CONTROL. RELIABLE SOIL MANAGEMENT.
SDH disc cultivators are designed for high-speed operation of up to 15kph, thanks to several key features. These include heavy-duty bearings that support the 610mm diameter discs, robust independent disc suspension, and a strong frame with high clearance to minimize blockages in challenging conditions. The durability of SDH cultivators is a critical aspect of their design, developed in collaboration with growers and soil experts to enhance soil management.
By working primarily the topsoil, these disc cultivators minimize disruption to deeper soil layers while effectively burying surface crop residues, leveling the soil, and improving surface aeration. This promotes worm activity and microbial health. Additionally, the disc action can aid in the germination of weed and split crop seeds.
GENEROUS WHEEL SIZE
The SDM T and SDH T models are equipped with large 500/45 R22.5 tires and can be fitted with optional air brakes, allowing them to handle transport speeds of up to 40kph.
