On October 7, 2020, the second stage of the large-scale “UCAB Agrotechnologies” field event will take place! This time, grain combines, grain overloaders, grain trucks, fertilizer spreaders, primary tillage units and seeders will be working.
Location: HarvEast Holding, village of Revne, Boryspil district, Kyiv region.
GPS COORDINATES: 50.278394, 30.824128
At the event we’ll demonstrate the following machinery at work:
1. Horsch Joker HD disc harrow
In 2013 HORSCH expanded its family of disc implements with a new Joker HD series — a “heavyweight” among short disc harrows — for working corn and sunflower stubble.
The machines look massive and have a stable, rigid design. This applies not only to the frame, but also to the discs and bearing units. They use closed double-row roller bearings, which sit in liquid grease and so require no additional maintenance.
The fairly high weight (in our unit’s case, over 7 tonnes), combined with aggressive notched spherical discs of Ø 620 mm, guarantees “biting” into the soil under the most extreme conditions. Complex, non-standard conditions – that’s Horsch HD’s element!
Simple, convenient adjustment of the discs’ working depth is done by setting stops in the form of aluminum clips on the hydraulic-cylinder rods.
A significant difference between the Joker HD and its competitors – the presence of a heavy twin DoubleRollPack roller, which shows ideal results both in dry conditions and when working on waterlogged soils.
Don’t want to be held hostage by whatever conditions the weather sets? The Joker HD is your faithful helper!
2. Bogballe М35W mineral-fertilizer spreader
The uniqueness of Bogballe spreaders – they use a fertilizer-spreading method in which the discs rotate toward each other. In this setup, both the left and right disc spread fertilizer across a 180-degree semicircle, working with full mutual overlap. For working the field’s edge, spreading from the center method is used. Applying it only requires reversing the discs’ direction of rotation.
Thanks to using an innovative approach to fertilizer spreading, the TREND system gives a precise spreading pattern. Spreading unevenness doesn’t exceed 4%.
Any Bogballe fertilizer-application unit is simple to operate and maintain. The number of adjustments on it is kept to a minimum. Setting the spreading rate is done using a calibrator from the tractor cab.
The spreader’s hopper is fitted with screens to separate out large lumps. Slowly rotating agitators ensure an even supply of mineral fertilizer to the discs. The parts’ surfaces are treated with wear-resistant powder coating, and the blades are made from high-quality manganese steel, matching triple the strength of stainless steel.
The application rate can be adjusted across a wide range — from 3 to 650 kg/min. Spreading width is 12–42 m. The spreader can be used either trailed or, if needed, mounted.
The spreader is equipped with a precision-weighing system, which removes the need for manual calibration. All changes in fertilizer flowability are recorded, and the gate adjusts automatically. Intelligent control compensates for field unevenness, thereby maintaining the fertilizer-application rate.
Bogballe applies fertilizer differentially; thanks to the SC Dynamic system, you get not only a variable rate across the full working width, but also the ability to control spreading width by switching off sections.
3. Valtra and Fendt wheeled tractors
Also, our partner – Egritech – will present the Egritech BNP-30 overload hopper. The machine has high traction and maneuverability, and its wide wheels put less strain on the soil and prevent unwanted compaction. The Egritech overload hopper eliminates the need for trucks to drive onto the field.
