Joker HD

Strengths of the Joker

  • Produces high quantities of fine soil within the germination zone
  • Efficient consolidation due to the double RollPack packer with high load-bearing capacity and excellent levelling effect for strip-consolidation
  • Less susceptible to failure in case of long harvest residues and shallow cultivation. Highest clearance and enough room between the disc rows and the packer.
  • Improved operational results with increased speed
  • Precise depth control due to front support wheels and double packer
  • High working performance with little draft requirement
  • High working speed in general
  • Good penetration with aggressive, serrated discs and maximum machine weight
  • Large transport chassis for fast and safe road transport

In which working conditions does the Joker perform well?

  • Shallow and fast stubble cultivation for quick germination of lost grain, interrupting capillary and ensuring incorporation of straw
  • From shallow and fast stubble cultivation after cereals to a 15-cm-deep cultivation after grain maize
  • Incorporation of long straw and difficult residues (cover crops, corn stubble)
  • Smooth incorporation of organic fertilisers (manure, cover crops)

Always a trump card in your hand

  • From shallow stubble cultivation after cereals to a 15-cm-deep cultivation after grain maize
  • Vertically arranged discs for very intensive mixing
  • Extremely resistant to cloggings due to the discs that are arranged in pairs and thus allow for large clearance
  • Compact design
  • Double packer with high load-bearing capacity and excellent levelling effect

DiscSystem - Innovative and reliable

Your advantages include

  • High clearance because of mounting the discs in pairs
  • Good contour-following qualities and effective stonerelease system with maintenance-free rubber suspension
  • Long intervals of exchanging parts
  • Maintenance-free and low-wear disc bearings with permanent lubrication
  • Surface-hardened discs for minimum wear in hardest conditions
  • Good penetration into the soil with aggressive, serrated discs and maximum machine weight
  • Excellent crumbling of the soil due to fast turning discs with a diameter of 62 cm
  • Stable disc angle through wide disc mountings, with no side play.
