MEDIUM-DUTY SPEED DISK

PRESTO

Work less, work bett er with PRESTO!

TODAY RESIDUES MANAGEMENT HAS THREE MAIN FUNCTIONS:

MODERN STUBBLE CULTIVATION

● WEED CONTROL: to achieve its maximum yield potenti al, a crop has to keep free from weed competi ti ons and

volunteers. A good culti var has to encourage as soon as possible weed and volunteer germinati ons aft er harvest to make more effi cient the following treatments.

● STRAW INCORPORATION: residues mixing in the top 2-5 in of soil promotes residues decompositi on and nutrients release

increasing soil ferti lity.

● STRUCTURE REPAIR OF COMPACTED SOIL: minimum ti llage not only protects soil architecture through minimal soil disturbance,

but also permits the populati on growth of soil biota. These soil organisms undertake biological ripping that improves soil structure, preventi ng compacti on and facilitati ng root penetrati on.

PRESTO

A COMPLETE RANGE OF MEDIUM-DUTY SPEED DISK

MASCHIO - PRESTO

“Since 2009 I used PRESTO on my fi eld, and it is ideal for a fast, shallow and intense mixing of corn or soybean stubble. There are very few wear parts and no maintenance.”

Carl Neubauer, Evansville, IN

To comply with these requirements, MASCHIO has designed PRESTO, a complete range of mounted and semi-mounted medium duty speed discs to mix soil and straw at depths from 0 to 4 in. Thanks to the large diameter disks, their parti cular inclinati on, concavity and the narrow spacing between gangs, soil ti llage is consistent and fast.

PERFECTLY DESIGNED DOWN TO THE LAST DETAIL!

ADJUSTABLE SIDE DISCS (opt.)Two easily adjustable side discs positi oned on the front and rear gangs control soil-straw fl ow providing perfect soil retenti on and opti mal seed bed refi nement.

AGGRESSIVE INCLINATIONThe disc angle of 18° always constant due to its conical design ensures a conti nuous fl ow of soil and residues from the fi rst to the second gang avoiding straw bulldozing and clogging.

EXTREMELY PRECISEThe perfect overlapping between front and rear gangs guarantees consistent soil mixing without machine drift . The high clearance frame (22 in) and the narrow distance between gangs (25 in) improve stubble incorporati on with low fuel consumpti on.

LARGE AND CONCAVE PRESTO discs have diameter of 18 or 20 in with a thickness of 0.2 in. Made in hard boron steel, they ensure an extremely shallow and intense soil mixing. This design opti mizes working ti me also with large amount of residues.

AGRIHUB UNITOnly special spherical bearings are employed in PRESTO concave disks. External screw bearing caps and water proof sealing ensure total protecti on against dust and moisture. Moreover oil-bath lubricati on supports excellent seal and bearings performance with maintenance-free operati ons; no need to grease or adjust them!

INDIVIDUALLY SUSPENDED DISCSEach disks is individually suspended in the frame by SILENT BLOCKS. The unit is dampened by 4 rubber elements that guarantee a constant working depth even on irregular surface. Moreover, the rubber torsion prevents frame and hub damages when obstacle collision occurs.

AN EFFICIENT TEAMThe PRESTO speed disks can be combined with several GASPARDO seed drills by the hydraulic hitch. The seeding bar is fi xed on the rear roller taking off the load from the disc gang. This connecti on system maintains the seeding bar always perpendicular to the soil ensuring a precise seed placement even at high working speeds.

LONG LASTING PERFORMANCE FREE OF MAINTENANCE!

SIMPLE ADJUSTMENTSThe rear rollers stabilize the machine during work and defi ne the working depth. Working depth could be easily adjusted by few pins, easily accessible from the rear gang.

Available in working widths from 8 to 13 ft , the mounted-PRESTO is ready for high performance. Extremely sturdy it is equipped with the well-proven frame of MASCHIO disc harrows range. By the high tensile steel headstock and the 4x4 in frame, it can be equipped with the heaviest rear rollers. Mounted-presto requires low lift ing capacity and HP (from 80 to 150 HP).

PRESTO

PRESTO is available in mounted and semi-mounted version with hydraulic folding frame for working widths from 13 to 20 ft . The semi-mounted version taking off the load from the tractor guarantees safe road transport even with the largest versions (transport width: 10 ft ). Moreover the rear cart with large wheels 400/60-15,5 and the air or oil braking systems improve stability. makes safe and comfortable road transportati on. all individual adjustments (folding/unfolding, lift ing of wheels) are hydraulic and easily made from the cab. Semi-mounted version has cast iron two point hitch (3° ISO and K700) which makes easy hook-up and gives great versati lity in the fi eld.
