Features
Single-pass cultivation and oilseed rape seeding
The Discaerator 3000 breaks up the ground; creates perfect powdery soil; plants the seed; and then rolls it - all in a single pass - saving time and labour costs and boosting productivity.
Gas-strut break back legs
McConnel's innovative breakaway auto-reset system protects the legs when they make contact with a hard or immovable object. Each leg snaps backwards to protect it from damage and then returns to position once the hazard has been passed – keeping operators working and preventing unnecessary downtime.
Benefits
- Cost-effective single-pass cultivation
- Highly effective at breaking up clods
- Creates a perfect seed bed
- Increases crop yields
- Proven reliability
Configuration options
