Product summaryOccitan is an independent disc harrow designed for shallow stubble cultivation with high field capacity. It reduces operational costs by efficiently destroying and incorporating plant residues. A seed drill can be integrated to increase agronomic value and reduce production inputs.
Applications- Shallow stubble cultivation after harvest.
- Incorporation of large volumes of plant residues (e.g. grain maize, cover crops).
- Working up to 18 cm deep for high-capacity stubble cultivation.
Agronomy benefits- Residue decomposition: distributes crop residues and organic matter evenly in the surface layer, promoting humification and mixing with soil.
- Self-seeding control: passes at shallow depth (≤5 cm) promote seed exposure and emergence; a final pass destroys emerging weeds and can reduce the surface seed bank by about 40%.
- Pest control: mechanical action and surface dehydration destroy adults and eggs present on the surface, helping reduce slugs and other insects.
- Soil warming: brings moisture up from lower layers and aerates the surface, improving soil warming and conditions for rapid germination.
- Soil-seed contact: ensures good seed-to-soil contact for water uptake and gas exchange via appropriate covering and loosening.
- Erosion control: discs and rollers structure the surface, break crusts, improve water infiltration and retention, create mulch and micro‑furrows to limit erosion and evaporation.
Working part / Design details- Two disc types: large notched discs (Ø 620 mm, 6 mm thick) and mulcher discs; discs are self-sharpening and curved to cut residues and ensure homogeneous mixing.
- Two discs per arm with 230 mm spacing; staggered bearings increase clearance, better weight distribution and visibility.
- Non-stop spring-loaded safety: release starts at 350 kg, reaches 420 kg at 10 cm, then decreases until 18 cm to limit stresses on the frame and working elements.
- High penetration capacity ensured by tilt and attack angles and high weight per disc for mounted and semi-mounted models.
- Large clearances prevent clogging with high quantities of plant residues. Spacing between disc gangs: Occitan 50/60 = 950 mm; Occitan T60 = 1 100 mm; Occitan T70 = 1 350 mm. Underbeam clearance: 725 mm.
- Maintenance-free bearings: reinforced sealing and lubrication, large support surface, 3-year bearings guarantee for the Occitan range.
- Hydraulic roller adjustment: standard on semi-mounted models, optional on mounted models; depth control via roller, adjustable from tractor cabin.
- Front stabilization wheels available (13.0/55x16 Ø 770 mm) adjustable mechanically or hydraulically for high-speed work on semi-mounted models.
- Following harrows (up to three) and side deflectors to channel soil flow and improve finishing; left deflector standard, right deflector optional and pivot-mounted to retract on impact.
