The Great Plains Simba X-Press is a
versatile implement designed to perform an
excellent shallow cultivation combined with
effective consolidation.
It can be used in reduced tillage systems
to incorporate stubble or to work down
ploughing on lighter soil types. Like all
Great Plains machines it features the
latest innovations which combine to give
an efficient, well-built unit with unrivalled
reliability.
Consolidation is key to most operations.
The design of the Simba X-Press ensures
that this is not compromised during use.
This is because the penetration of the front
discs is achieved by angling the disc gangs
and not by transferring weight from the rear
roller onto the discs. The in line rear roller
ensures uniform consolidation is achieved
across the field.
The Simba X-Press can operate in situations
where high levels of surface trash exist.
This is possible because of the massive
clearance within the machine. The front and
rear disc gangs are 1050mm (42”) apart and
the distance between the rear gang and the
roller is another 815mm (33”).
The Simba X-Press is designed for high
speed operation at 8-l2kph. The in-built
weight of around 1 tonne per metre ensures
that the desired depth is maintained at the
optimal forward speed.
Movement from field to field or along the
road is safe and simple. The Simba X-Press
wings fold vertically whilst the main frame
raises parallel to the ground giving minimal
height and width for transport. An optional
rear drawbar allows a following implement
(such as a Cambridge Roll) to be used and
towed in tandem with the Simba X-Press.
