2024 Maschio Gaspardo Veloce T 600

The VELOCE T is the lightweight MASCHIO disc harrow, designed to work down to a maximum depth of 3.9 inches both for preparing seedbeds and for crop residue management in minimum tillage applications. Available with widths up to 23 ft and designed to work at speeds of up to 9.3 mph, the VELOCE T delivers excellent performance, as demanded by large farmers and contractors who have tractors with a horsepower of up to 320.

The VELOCE T has the same tried-and-tested construction as the mounted model, such as discs arranged in two gangs facing in opposite directions spaced 31.5 inches apart, ensuring excellent soil flow even when dealing with residue. Discs are 20.5 inches in diameter, and come in an aggressive or less aggressive version, to be chosen based on the soil type. They are individually cushioned with 4 natural rubber silent block shock absorbers that, in conjunction with the SKF bearing-Agri Hub assembly, ensure unbeatable reliability and low maintenance.

The VELOCE T is fully automated and adjusts the individual work sections independently by means of hydraulic cylinders that open the wings, adjust the rear roller, drawbar, travel wheels and front wheels, and lastly, on request, the front blade chopper for shredding residue before the discs pass through. The VELOCE T is well balanced for safe road travel and complies with the European Mother Regulations.

In addition to the two front disc gangs that chop up and mix the residue, with an extensive range of rear rollers to choose from, you can be sure of perfect soil levelling and a uniform seedbed. The side front wheels help maintain the high level of finishing, ensuring a consistent working depth. The generous containment panels keep the area being tilled contained, stopping ridges forming at its edges.

The travel wheels, which are located in front of the rear roller, bring the centre of gravity closer to the tractor for greater stability while working and easy headland turns. Roller arms are sized for turning at the end of the field, reducing downtime and boosting efficiency.

Features may include:

VELOCE's discs are made of high-strength boron steel to ensure less wear even on tough soils. The 20 in diameter provides a working depth of around 3.9 in. Having a less convex design, they can penetrate the ground more easily for the same power absorbed.

The disc support has been designed to promote the smoothest possible soil flow, both on the inside and outside, especially at high speed. The slightly curved shape improves absorbption of roughness for improved stability.

The hubs on each disc revolve around special bearings with two rows of balls facing each other. The bearing is protected against the ingress of dust, mud and dirt by a special seal and a screw-on cover, which ensure unbeatable reliability. The hub has been designed to offer ultimate performance coupled with low maintenance: there is no need to grease the individual discs at regular intervals!

Striking an excellent balance between compact design, weight and performance, each of VELOCE's discs is cushioned on a special Silent Block system: 4 cylinders made of high-strength rubber (high elastic energy absorption) make the whole disc harrow rigid, while still allowing it to cope with uneven ground. This system does not require any type of maintenance or greasing.
