Longer harrow chassis brings larger discs
Grégoire Besson has extended the chassis of its Occitan T60 to accommodate 720mm discs and working depths of up to 18cm.
Called the Occitan Grand T60, the new version has a chassis that is 30cm longer than the standard T60. The changes provide more clearance for crop residues and allow larger-diameter discs to be fitted.
Spacing between the disc rows has increased from 1,100mm to 1,350mm, while the distance between the second disc row and the carriage has risen from 1,385mm to 1,435mm.
According to Grégoire Besson, the revised layout brings clearance into line with the three-part semi-mounted Occitan T70 and is designed to maintain residue flow in difficult conditions.
The 720mm discs have a pronounced curved profile, which the manufacturer says promotes soil loosening and the mixing of soil and crop residues at depths of up to 18cm.
As with other machines in the Occitan range, each disc arm incorporates a spring-loaded safety mechanism. This is designed to protect the machine when an obstacle is encountered while helping maintain a consistent working depth.
A choice of rollers caters for different soil types and finishing requirements, including reconsolidation, crumbling and levelling. The wider Occitan line-up includes mounted and semi-mounted models to suit different tractor power ratings.
