The
OPICO grass harrowing concept simply transforms the way you work
your grass. The angle of the tine combined with the overall
design of the harrow makes it ideal for stimulating new grass or
renovating old pastures. Revitalise your
pastures, rip out dead thatch and moss. The OPICO Grass Harrow
opens up matted grass swards letting air in to the root zone
stimulating new growth. Like all good ideas it is very simple and is now recommended by
thousands of farmers who have switched to this common sense approach
to what used to be a 'harrowing job'.
Features include:
Covers
every inch of the ground thanks to the unique contour flexing tine
bed.
Rigid,
mechanical or hydraulic folding units with a choice of 7mm or 8mm
tines are available.
Designed
for strength without the need for high horsepower.
Equipped
with a fully adjustable depth wheel to work with the tine angle
settings for maximum effectiveness.
Hydraulic
folding models have a single acting ram with an accumulator which
keeps pressure on the wing sections whilst allowing them to float
and follow the contours.
7mm or 8mm Tines, that is
the question? Many
farmers automatically believe that the 8mm tine will do a better job
because it is stronger. That's not necessarily the case!. The
key to making the best job with your harrow is getting the tines to do
the work. A spring tine is designed to "spring" causing the
point to oscillate from side to side. On a Grass Harrow this makes sure
all the ground is covered by the tines and achieves the maximum effect
from one pass. In many cases the 8mm tine can be too rigid and simply
drag through the sward in a straight line with no "spring"
effect. As a general rule of thumb choose the 7mm tine when you are
predominantly working on temporary grassland (leys under 5 years) which
is being regularly cut for silage, grazed and managed. Choose an 8mm
tine when you are using the harrow on old permanent pastures and rough
grazing in the main.
The
Air
8 seeder is designed to give you an even seed coverage across the
area you are seeding by the seed rate being controlled by a land wheel,
this allows the forward speed to vary and the seed rate remains constant
across your field.

electric fan drive - easy fitting and control
Land
wheel drive - accurate ground speed related rate control
Stepless
gearbox - precise seed rate application
Unique
distributor plates - consistent even seed distribution
8
outlets give accurate distribution up to 6.5m working width
AIR 16
The Air
16 incorporates the electronic control as standard using a motor to
drive the metering mechanism and a hydraulic fan to distribute the seed
through its 16 outlets on machines up to 12.5m wide.
