LEMKEN HELIODOR 9

Notes:

Farmers can work more acres per hour with the lightweight HELIODOR 9 compact disc harrow, which is available in working widths up to 52 feet, and can travel up to 12 mph, saving time and fuel. Farmers also have the option to attach a SOLITAIR precision air drill to some HELIODOR 9 models to prepare the seedbed and seed in one pass, cutting seeding time in half.

The HELIODOR 9's 20-inch, concave discs are perfect for shallow spring cultivation in light to medium soils, fall stubble cultivation, preparation for seeding winter cereals, preparing a seedbed in spring on heavy ploughed land, or for reworking areas around sloughs, previously wet areas in a field, or removing sprayer ruts after a wet season.

The intensive disc action of the HELIODOR 9:
- provides superior soil crumbling and mixing to ensure consistent soil density and quality.
- disturbs very little soil while allowing oxygen and water to penetrate for strong root development and healthy plant growth.
- incorporates crop residue and creates a smooth, seed-ready seedbed in one pass.

Working from shallower depths of one to four inches, the HELIODOR 9:
- warms soil surface for faster, earlier germination and frost protection.
- repacks soil with a choice of packing rollers to seal in moisture, prevent erosion and prepare a perfect seedbed.
- paired with the SOLITAIR seeder, provides maximum soil to seed contact, and ensures moisture is accessible to the seed for better emergence and higher yields.
- encourages germination of weeds, and volunteers in fall to be winterkilled.
- requires less horsepower to pull and saves on fuel.
