Description
VSS AGRO FURROW PRESS
VSS AGRO FURROW PRESS SPECIALLY FOR SOFTER SOIL TYPES
The VSS Agro Furrow Press is specially designed as a replacement for the regular front packer. This is because a regular front packer has the major disadvantage that the machine must be connected and disconnected each time at the head ends of the field. With the VSS Agro Vorendrukker, this is a thing of the past! The machine is designed for softer soil types and, applied to the plow, creates an optimal seedbed in one pass.
TEMPORARILY INHIBITS CAPILLARY ACTION
After plowing, moisture escapes from the soil as water rises with it. To prevent this phenomenon, called capillary action, use a our fork press on your plow. This temporarily inhibits capillary action. This creates additional moisture under the pressed layer. Precisely the place after which sowing the seeds should germinate. Thus, the use of the VSS Agro Plough Fork Pusher promotes even emergence after seeding.
CONSTRUCTION OF THE FURROW PRESS
The plow fork pusher consists of two or three hydraulic lifting arms, a drawbar and a box beam to which swiveling dense hollow discs (Ø560mm) are mounted. You can vary the number of discs on the bar as you wish. The discs are ball-bearing and manufactured from wear-resistant stainless steel. You attach the machine to the plow with included attachments that specifically fit the plow bodies. These are different for each brand/type of plow. All attachments and hydraulic hoses come standard with the fork pusher.
OPERATION OF THE FURROW PRESS
The swing arms on the furrow press are designed to automatically guide the discs so that they always follow the direction of travel of the plow. Even with a plow with variable width adjustment. You control the pressure by adjusting the stop on the arms. The machine operates on its own weight. With the hydraulic pressure control option on the rolling arms, you can set the pressure yourself. Do you own a stone secured plow? On request, it is possible to apply the VSS Agro Plough Fork Pusher to this type of plow. Thereby, you have the choice of spring-loaded or hydraulic protection. For more information, please contact us or ask the VSS Agro dealer in your area for advice.
