2024 Maschio Gaspardo Ufo Tzar 400

UFO is the heavyweight disc harrow designed by MASCHIO GASPARDO for intensive tilling of soil and crop residue. Strong and versatile, it lends itself to minimum tillage applications, offering a number of working combinations with widths ranging from 8.2 to 19.7 ft for tractors with horsepower in the 110 to 360 range.

UFO's frame is a synthesis of strength and flexibility: the discs (24 inches in diameter and 0.25 inches thick) are arranged in two well-spaced out gangs and, with their angle to the direction of travel and rake angle, are highly aggressive even on hard, untilled ground. The CULTI-HUB oil-immersed bearings provide unrivalled strength and low maintenance. The special geometry of the disc mounting springs allows for 7.9 inches of vertical travel and 19.7 inches side to side, ensuring constant contact with the soil, even on uneven ground. The generous under-frame clearance means the implement can even cope with large amounts of residue and work at depths of up to 4.7 inches.

Even at high speed, the twin rear roller with two different diameters creates a vibrating and floating action, minimizing clodding and leaving behind well-levelled soil ready for seeding.

UFO comes in a trailed folding version in 13.1, 16.4 and 19.7 ft sizes. The frame is folded hydraulically, while the hydraulically lifted trailer ensures stability during road travel. There is a hydraulic drawbar for quick hitching to the tractor. UFO TZAR comes in a pneumatic and hydraulic braking version, in compliance with European Mother Regulations for on-road travel.

Features may include:

The 12.20 inches disc is designed for a working depth down to 4. in, which is ideal not just for crop residue burial, but also for post-ploughing soil finishing. There are 2 disc versions to suit the amount of residue:

• Large amount of residue (9-tooth disc);

• Little residue (15 teeth).

UFO's support and shock-absorbing system combine to produce the "C-shaped spring". The compact design ensures optimal material flow between the discs, while the special spring steel it is made of, ensures reliability and flexibility even in tough conditions. The spring has been designed to be strong yet free to vibrate, capable of absorbing high-speed stress, which is then transferred with a vibrating effect that results in an even finer tilth. The entirely maintenance-free design reduces downtime and running costs.

UFO'S disc hubs stand out for their extremely high performance in any working conditions.

The two rollers differing in diameter - 18.1 and 16.9 inches - feature a rocker structure, meaning they generate a pivoting effect to ensure better soil levelling.
