McConnel’s biggest and most productive single-pass cultivators are available in 4.0m, 5.0m and 6.0m working widths and feature smooth and effective hydraulic folding.
Equipped with two rows of shock-resistant concave discs which break up clods to create a fine tilth, the Discaerator range delivers the perfect conditions for crop establishment.

Features
Enhanced productivity
An outstanding single-pass deep soil cultivator, the Discaerators incorporate surface trash and stubble, heave and aerate soil, and break up the ground for a weather-proof finish - saving time, money, and fuel consumption.
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 breaks backward to protect it from damage and then returns to position as soon as the hazard has been passed – keeping operators working and sparing unnecessary downtime.
