Model Shortdisc - conventional Farming System
Whether a minimum tillage or conventional farming system, the Weaving ShortDisc offers itself as a great multipurpose tool that can be used for chitting weed-seeds and volunteers into stubble, incorporating organic matter or creating a stale seedbed. Due to its functional versatility and heavy-duty design, the Weaving ShortDisc can save machinery, fuel and labour costs per hectare without compromising on yield or quality. The configuration of the front cutting discs followed by the full width roller allows the ShortDisc to effectively chop through any harvest crop residue, then leave an even stale seedbed. This fast and effective cultivator can be fitted with a Weaving Magnum Seeder and splash plate arrangement allowing it to drill cover crops, small seeds and oil seed rape at a low cost. The ShortDisc is available in 3 – 6 metre working widths, all in a mounted format.
2 Rows of 560mm Ø concave discs mounted on rubber shock absorbers, side boards and a full width 700mm Ø heavy duty `V` ring packer roller. Hydraulic Depth Control with coloured spacer adjustment. Hydraulic transport safety lock for folding models.125mm disc spacing with individually mounted arms.
The Shortdisc is a universal cultivator suitable for a range of farming systems. Depending on setup, it can be used for creating a chit into stubble, incorporating manure and residues, preparing a seedbed ready for drilling and establishing cover crops and small seeds.
The Shortdisc is fitted with discs mounted on rubber torsion bars providing maintenance free, effective suspension. Each individual arm only carries 1 disc improving ground contouring and penetration. A large distance between the disc and the frame of the machine and between each leg ensures adequate clearance for material to flow through. The concave discs are fitted to each arm using a ‘Sealed for Life’, maintenance free Agrihub bearing offering permanent lubrication.
The working depth of the ShortDisc is between 0 and 15cm (6”), and is easily adjusted using the hydraulic operated rear roller. The hydraulic rams are extended, and aluminium spacers inserted to set the desired working depth.
A 700mm British Cast Iron ‘V’ ring packer roller follows the 2 rows of discs to leave a firm and level seedbed. The roller is equipped as standard with easily detachable clod breakers allowing for quick replacement or for clearing large debris. The cast rings are made up of 3 individual pieces also for ease of replacement if needed.
Building on the success of our mounted Shortdisc, from Autumn 2023 we are taking orders for a trailed model. The trailed Shortdisc offers greater maneuverability and more balanced weight distribution leaving a lighter footprint and requiring less horsepower. The rear transport wheels are lifted when in work.
The Weaving Shortdisc comes as standard with a choice of 3 discs with their own unique properties. The bulldog disc is for shallow tillage and creating a chit of weeds, the scalloped disc for deeper mixing of residues and the intermediate disc is inbetween the two offering shallow tillage with a increased mixing effect.
At Weaving Machinery, we understand that new asset purchases can be tough on cashflow especially before harvest. So to help make our tillage equipment more affordable to out customers, we are excited to offer 0% hire purchase plans on both the LD Top-Soiler and the Shortdisc. These finance plans can be structured in two ways. Finance must be activated before 30th September 2024. The hire purchase plans are subject to eligibility, see the terms and conditions below.
