Other information / specs
With ever increasing pressure on South African farmers to lower their input costs and raise their yields, it becomes crucial to invest in equipment that enables efficient and effective field preparation within the shortest time frame possible. Agrico has excelled in providing this experience with our HSD630 (High Speed Disc)
Agrico’s latest 8.0-meter model HSD630, has been meticulously designed to enable the coverage of a maximum number of hectares in minimal time, all accomplished with a single machine and tractor.
A rich history of tillage
The Agrico HSD630 series of high speed discs has proven itself to be a trustworthy tillage partner over the years. Agrico introduced the first HSD in 2017, and it quickly became a resounding success among South African farmers. The initial models, available in widths of 2.5, 3.2, and 4 m, were highly regarded in the industry. Following its triumph, Agrico introduced a 5 m model and later a 6.3 m model.
Now, the innovative Agrico team has taken a step further by developing their largest HSD yet, featuring an impressive width of 8.0 m. This model is ideal for the 200 - 280 kW tractor sector and has a folding frame with a unique push-to-fold cylinder configuration. The discs are the well known 630 mm notched type, protected by the trusted rubber reset mechanism.
What makes the Agrico HS??D stand out amongst its competitors?
Efficiency is key for farmers who aim to maximise their productivity while keeping labour and fuel costs in check. With the HSD''s ability to operate at speeds of up to 16 km per hour—almost double that of a traditional disc harrow—you can cultivate twice as many hectares in the same time frame, using nearly the same kilowatts and diesel consumption.
Johan Myburgh, Head Mechanical Engineer at Agrico, emphasises the importance of farmers working efficiently and sowing their crops as close to the ideal time as possible, often within a limited timeframe.
“With rising costs, farmers tend to switch to bigger tractors and bigger implements. Big machinery requires less labour, less maintenance, and gives the farmer better control. Farmers want to get through their hectares as fast as possible, and cultivate more hectares with less equipment,†says Johan. “This is precisely where the need for the 8.0 m HSD arose.â€
Agrico focuses on moving forward with their customers. They understand the needs of Southern African farmers and their implements are manufactured locally to fit farmers’ needs exactly.
“The requirements of tools in Africa are different to those of Europe. We know African conditions and know the challenges of the farmer. Cornel and I both drove a tractor even before we could walk properly,†says Johan with a laugh.
A design based on the success of previous models
The design process of the 8.0-meter HSD was spearheaded by Cornel Fourie, a Mechanical Design Engineer at Agrico and the chief designer behind the implement. Cornel states that the design builds upon the success of itsShow more
