Gregoire Besson NewsGregoire Besson re-launch new cultivator at Cereals
Up front is a row of 5 tines to loosen soil below the pan to a maximum depth of 14 inches – depending on the tine selected. Choice of tines includes Michel 'Heliplow', standard Discordon, Eurocult or straight subsoiler and fixing choices include shear bolt, spring loaded or hydraulic auto reset. Secondly an independently-mounted double row of 575mm discs, with 2 discs mounted per bearing for improved traction, chop, cultivate and mix trash residue. The discs have a spacing of 23cm and create a level tilth ready for the packer. The final stage is the hydraulic packer which consolidates the ground leaving a level seedbed. As standard, the Combimix features a new 'Emopak F' roller with V Profile which is based on the standard 745mm Emopak but which offers better consolidation from a lighter weight. A 600mmm Crumbler roller for dry, cloddy soils or 540mm Diamond roller for sticky soils are also available as options. The depth of the tines is controlled by the hydraulically adjustable packer. With 'stepless' control of the machine depth an accurate working depth is achieved. The Combimix will be available from £20,000. New 7 furrow mounted plough from Gregoire Besson
Robin Immink, MD of Gregoire Besson comments, 'The HRPC7 has been designed to suit a wide range of tractors and soil conditions. Not only are the horsepower requirements relatively low, it can be used on-land for tractors with tracks or larger tyres or it can be used in-furrow for smaller tractors and in wet or heavy conditions.' The HRPC7 has a 300x150mm chassis and 150x150mm beam and a heavy-duty rated RHAS headstock. It features shearbolt safety and comes with a choice of bodies and skimmers. Further extending the plough's versatility is the offset ram for on-land ploughing which effectively enables a hydraulic front furrow for infurrow ploughing. The HRPC7 is available from £18,000. Also to be launched at Cereals are the RW8 plough and new Combimix min-till cultivator. Further information is available from Gregoire Besson on (01778) 590223. New 5/6 furrow mounted plough from Gregoire Besson
Robin Immink, MD of Gregoire Besson comments, "The RW8 has been designed to suit a wide range of tractors and soil conditions. It features control of ploughing depth and inclination via an in cab hydraulic control box. It can also control the width of the front furrow and the transport lock can also be engaged. The RW8 will be particularly useful for farmers working on slopes." For precise depth control stability and even weight distribution, the RW8 features a tandem bogie wheel as well as twin wheels for stability and even weight distribution. This also improves lifting capacity and the ability to switch between road and field work quickly and easily. The patented system means that it is able to plough out wheel marks allowing closer plough to hedges. A choice of safety systems, mouldboards and skimmers are available. The RW8 is available from £27,000. Also to be launched at Cereals are the HRPC7 plough and new Combimix min-till cultivator. Further information is available from Gregoire Besson on (01778) 590223.

There is a choice of packers to suit all soil types and ground conditions – including a 630mm steel ‘Emopak profile’ ring, 745mm steel ‘Emopak profile’ ring or 745mm rubber ring. The depth of the machine is controlled by the hydraulically adjustable discs and the packer, these in turn set the desired depth of the front tines. With 'step less' control off the machine depth an accurate and precise working depth is achieved. The Combimix will be available from £20,000. |
