Description
With focus on sustainable and precision farming, Kverneland developed the trailed compact disc harrow, Qualidisc 21000 T, in working width of 10.25m and 12.25m. The Qualidisc 21123 T in 12.25m working width perfectly fits to Controlled Traffic Farming systems. The range of operations is versatile: shallow and deep cultivation (3 to 15cm), as well as seedbed preparation after ploughing.
The Qualidisc 21000 T is arranged in four independently mounted frame segments. Pressure on each segment can be adjusted pair by pair via the Ground Contour System to ensure a constant pressure on the soil. Due to this unique ground following, the Qualidisc 21000 T leaves a perfectly even surface. The conical discs (Ø 600mm) are the same as on the Qualidisc Pro models ensuring a full cut and also excellent performance for catch crop incorporation. The machine operates at speeds of up to 20km/h, maintaining a full cut at a consistent working depth in all soil conditions.
Year-round soil cultivation – What the Kverneland Qualidisc can do
The short disc harrow Qualidisc is the right choice for high performance soil preparation, in all kinds of conditions and for a wide field of applications.
Spring
Breaks up compacted topsoil after frost or heavy rains, accelerating soil drying and warming
Prepares the seedbed for spring crops like maize, which require deeper cultivation for strong root growth
Summer
Stubble cultivation immediately after harvest for effective residue management
Second and third passes help control weeds and volunteers, reducing reliance on herbicides
Enables cover crop establishment when paired with an a-drill, improving soil health and biodiversity
Autumn
Cuts and incorporates maize stubbles to combat corn borer infestation
Refines ploughed fields into a fine, crumbled seedbed ideal for small seeds such as oilseed rape, grass, and legumes
Stubbling and seeding of cover crops in one pass
Fitted with the Kverneland a-drill on the short disc harrow, cover crops are established during stubble operation highly efficiently in one pass. The systematic coverage of soils by a vegetal cover in autum is one of the measures considered to avoid nitrate leaching in the water source as requested by the EU nitrate directive. The cover crop will absorb nitrogen from the soil and air, to convert it into organic nitrogen. The cover crops will then release nitrogen to the next crop (1/3), protect soil against erosion and improve its structure.
Why choose Kverneland Qualidisc?
Whether you’re preparing for spring seeding, managing summer stubble, or conditioning autumn fields, the Qualidisc short disc harrow delivers consistent performance and long-lasting reliability.
Features
Features
The frame of the Qualidisc 21000 T is extremely sturdy and robust. The design has been optimized by FEM calculation for reliability & long lifetime. The frame is set up in 4 independent sections with 4 large front gauge wheels 400/60-15.5. This ensures a constantly very good ground following over the entire working width also in case of shallower working depth.
Ground Contour System
The pressure on the 4 sections is adjusted pair by pair by the Ground Contour System to achieve constant pressure on each section. Two manometers monitor the pair of inner and outer sections. The Qualidisc 21000 T excels by a high-speed stability without jumping effects due to the weight balance and distance from front gauge wheels and rear roller. The high frame clearance ensures blockage-free cultivation even in case of higher amounts of residues like maize straw.
Headland Management
Turning at the headland is easy and close. The implement turns on the front gauge wheels and rear roller. The four front wheels are very flexible and can be swiveled 360°, enabling close turning manoeuvres despite the large working width.
Due to the aggressive discs and the considerable weight (up to 150 kg/disc), the Qualidisc 21000 T ensure an excellent working quality even under dry conditions. The ground is completely cut, the stubble broken and correctly mixed on the surface for a good emergence of weeds and volunteer cereal seeds.
The large disc diameter of Ø600mm achieves high quality working results from 2cm to 15cm depth and allow operation also with big volumes of soil and residues (e.g. maize).
Long lasting discs with a constant cutting angle
The conical discs are of 6mm thickness and Ø600mm diameter. They are the same as on the Qualidisc Pro and ensure a constant cutting angle independent of depth and disc diameter.
The discs are given a special heat treatment for a long durability and strength with a very high hardness of 55-58 HRC. Thus the machine's longevity is increased and the maintenance costs reduced.
Standard and big notched discs
Alternatively to the standard discs, Kverneland proposes discs with big notches to enhance the rotation in fluffy soil and for a better self-cleaning of the disc with more than 20% of clay. Small notches on this disc keeps the very good cutting quality. A combination of standard disc in the front disc gang and big notched discs in the rear is also possible.
Adjusting a machine must be fast and easy, especially when working conditions change. Fields can vary due to different soil type, moisture, compaction or field traffic, etc.
The setting of the working depth on the Qualidisc T 12.25m is easily done. A pre-setting of the working depth is fixed at only two scales. One is mounted at the gauge wheel and the second at the rear roller, both directly on the left-hand side of the machine, where the driver leaves the cab. Gauge wheels and the rear roller are adjusted separately to maintain the balance between the two rows of discs. The depth adjustment is steered hydraulically from the cab. In this way, the working depth can be changed in a few seconds on the go, even if the driver is not skilled.
Connecting the Qualidisc 21000 T to the tractor is also straightforward. For the hydraulics, one double-acting valve is needed for the transport wheels. Another double-acting valve, or alternatively a load sensing system, is necessary to steer the folding process, the headland lifting and the pressure adjustment for perfect ground contour following.
Control Traffic Farming
Controlled traffic farming (CTF) is a management system to protect the soil against damages caused by heavy or repeated machinery passes.
It confines all machinery loads to the least possible area of permanent traffic lanes which are kept in exactly the same place over the years.
The main objective of Controlled Traffic Farming is to improve soil health as prerequisite of save crop establishment and yields. Healthy soil is characterized by a stable soil porosity with more space for water and air. Improved water infiltration reduces soil erosion and increases the water availability to the crop whereas the drainage capacity avoids waterlogging. All this will safeguard the supply of nutrients to the plants resulting in a strong crop rooting and plant development for safe yields.
Moreover, CTF extends the timeline of farming operation as the permanent tracks allow access to the field also when conditions are not perfect. Reduced fuel consumption and power requirement of the tractor, furthermore, increase efficiency and sustainability.
- Each angled arm is fitted with a large maintenance-free double ball bearing and 35 mm axle. This high-quality bearing is able to carry heavy radial and axial loads.
- Special protection on the side of the arm is achieved by a special seal of 5 sealing lips and by the joint protecting the bearing.
- On the other side the disc is protected against dust by an O-ring.
- The disc hub is fixed onto the arm by a bolt and special washers that prevent any loosening. The bolt is protected against soil by its position inside the arm.
Rear rollers
