SDM & SDH COMPACT DISC CULTIVATORS

SDM & SDH COMPACT DISC CULTIVATORS

ENGINEERED FOR THE BENEFIT OF YOUR SOIL

In addition to proven environmental benefits, soil health is the key to productivity and sustainable profitability. There are a number of systems that can be adopted to help promote good soil health, with minimal tillage having gained in popularity thanks to advances in the design and development of cultivation equipment. New Holland SDM and SDH compact disc cultivators form a part of these advances.

Developed to meet the diverse demands of combinable, forage and root crop producers, New Holland SDM medium-duty and SDH heavy-duty disc cultivators offer tremendous versatility. Engineered to deliver excellent performance across different soils and in varied working conditions, SDM and SDH discs combine economy of operation with high levels of productivity. Key applications include minimal tillage, slug control, over-wintered stubble management, secondary cultivation, crop residue management, post root crop soil levelling and seedbed preparation.

Features

  • NEW HOLLAND SDM MEDIUM-DUTY DISC CULTIVATORS: LOOKING AFTER YOUR SOILS AND BUDGET

    With models from 3.0m to up to 7.0m working width, New Holland SDM medium-duty compact disc cultivators are available to suit farms large and small. The mounted SDM 300 R can be operated behind a tractor of just 100hp, with its simple design and ease of set up delivering easily accessible performance economically. The widest model, the trailed SDM 700 T, is suitable to use behind tractors of between 240hp and 320hp. With low draft relative to its working width, thanks to the shallow concave disc design, wide 250mm disc spacing for good crop residues clearance and low lateral soil throw even at operating speeds of up to 15kph, all models deliver high work rates matched to reduced fuel use.
  • NEW HOLLAND SDH HEAVY-DUTY DISC CULTIVATORS: REDUCED TILLAGE, LONG-TERM BENEFIT

    With models from 3.0m to up to 6.0m working width, New Holland SDH heavy-duty disc cultivators represent a simple but modern approach to sustainable crop production. Designed to operate at sub-soil friendly depths of 6cm to 12cm, there is a choice of three models, the fully mounted SDH 300 R and the trailed SDH 500 T and 600 T. All are fitted with large, 610mm diameter concave discs with an aggressive tilt angle for effective mixing and penetration. Operating speeds of up to 15kph can be achieved with no compromise in levelling or crop residue incorporation. The mounted SDH 300 R can be operated behind a tractor of just 140hp, its simple design and ease of set up delivering easily accessible performance economically. The widest model, the trailed SDH 600 T, is suitable use behind tractors of between 260hp and 360hp. A key advantage of the New Holland disc cultivator models is their low draft relative to working width. This, combined with wide 250mm disc spacing for good crop residue clearance ensures all models can deliver high work rates matched to reduced fuel use.
  • NEW HOLLAND COMPACT DISC CULTIVATORS: CONSISTENT DEPTH CONTROL. RELIABLE SOIL MANAGEMENT.

    SDH disc cultivators are built to allow fast operation at speeds of up to 15kph. This can be achieved thanks to a number of design features. These include heavy-duty bearings supporting the 610mm diameter discs, robust independent disc suspension and a strong frame with a high clearance to ensure a reduced risk of blockages in extreme conditions. The build strength of SDH cultivators is part of the design story. New Holland works with growers and soil experts to ensure the entire SDM and SDH range can help improve soil management. By working just the topsoil, these disc cultivators reduce the disturbance of the soil lower down but can still operate at a depth that is sufficient to bury higher levels of crop residue, level the soil surface and improve surface aeration to promote worm activity and microbial action. The discs can also help promote the germination of weed and spilt crop seeds.
  • GENEROUS WHEEL SIZE

    SDM T & SDH T feature large 500/45 R22.5 tyres and are fitted with optional air brakes and are designed to accommodate transport speeds of up to 40kph.
