JUMBO X, the rotary harrow for large extensions

Maschio Gaspardo has two brand new products in the spotlight at its stand at the EIMA International event. The first, which debuted right here in Bologna, is the JUMBO X, the foldable rotary harrow with a working width of up to 10 meters (the only one of its kind in the world). This rotary harrow (or this piece of equipment) features several patented technical-electronic solutions and is made up of a reinforced frame and 3 bodies. It is equipped with an ISOBUS communication system that monitors the main functions of the equipment directly from the tractor cab. The machine was designed by technicians at the Padua-based company – headquartered in Campodarsego – to be combined with high-power tractors, and features some important construction advantages, such as the “BLINDATO” model bearings, already appreciated on other Maschio Gaspardo machines, and the “POWER HUB” technology, both of which have been designed to ensure long life. Furthermore, thanks to the telescopic system and a four-wheel trolley (patented), the JUMBO X can be easily transported on the road while complying with road space limits. The second innovation presented by the Veneto group is the OLIMPIA ISOTRONIC electronic vegetable seeder, equipped with 8 tandem row sowing units. This piece of equipment stands out for its precision in dosing seeds and fertilizer, made possible by the ISOBUS system and electric motors, a fundamental requirement for precision farming. Other strong points of this model include the automatic hose extension kit for irrigation during the processing phases which, according to the Paduan company, improves water efficiency and the germination conditions of the plants. The seeder is managed directly from the tractor cabin via the ISOBUS display, allowing the operator to set the type of sowing (single or tandem), with a simple touch. Finally, the compressor kit ensures constant cleaning of the disc holes for improved seeding quality.
