Versatility is the main thing about these Austrian machines, Origin says.
"The 6m working width at 10-15km/h gives high productivity. Weight (before seed) of only 550kg, and three point-linkage mounting with a hydraulic folding frame to 3m, makes it suitable for smaller tractors and easy to use on hills."
The harrows is made up of three flexible sections that "float and flex" with changes in the ground contour for even pressure on each tine.
The spring tines are made from 8mm thick x 450mm long, oil-hardened spring steel said to give three times the service life of a normal spring steel tine. They suit ripping or "gentle cultivation."
The harrows can be fitted with an 8-outlet or 16-outlet air seeder capable of sowing small seeds at 1kg/ha or grass seeds at up to 40kg/ha. Seed distribution is via distributor plates across the full width of the machine, giving even overlapping spread via twin fans driven by 12V motors. An optional hydraulic fan is available for heavier seeds or greater working widths.
Hopper capacity is 400L. Calibration is quick and simple, Origin says, with seeding application rates being maintained via a ground driven wheel.
An optional computer controller allows the operator to know the amount of seed being applied during operation and the amount of seed remaining in the seed box.
It allows up to 19 separate seed varieties to be stored in its memory, eliminating the need to calibrate the machine each time.
Broadcast air seeders are also available separately, allowing them to be fitted to Cambridge rollers, discs, power harrows, etc.
Other features: powder coat finish, central tine-angle lever adjustment, and a platform for easy filling of the seed box.
