A totally new concept in rotary spading machines for sandy and light clay soils. The 48SX machine is faster, lighter and stronger than its predecessor. The latest changes means spading becomes even more attractive as the machine is also equipped with a seedbed preparator. Simultaneous primary and secondary tillage. In combination with a drill or a planter cost reductions are even greater.
Concept of the machine
New award-winning design with striking yellow stripes on the blue and black machines give them a unique appearance. The 48SX is the first rotary spader with harrow that has a gear driven spade shaft. This gearbox especially developed for Imants is capable of handling tractors from as little as 140 Hp up to 250 Hp. A rotary spader will do the primary tillage with the spade shaft. This shaft consist of 6 banks with 6 arms (3 left and 3 right) Behind the spade shaft is the simplest of harrows being nothing more than a driven roller with small tines that prepare the seedbed and give the necessary consolidation. This secondary tillage tool will:
- Create a perfect consolidated seedbed
- Level the surface
- Incorporate organic residue
The ideal working speed is 7 km/h (4.4 Mph) while running the PTO shaft at 1000 Rpm.
