The DTX350 is a larger version of the existing DTX300.
A new 3.5m version of Simba Great Plains' popular DTX one-pass cultivator will make its debut at Lamma 2012.
The new model is being introduced in response to customer demand. Still a mounted unit, it features six Pro-Lift legs that work between 250-400mm deep to perform a thorough, deeper soil restructuring operation.
Behind these, two rows of 500mm cultivating discs are set at a net spacing of 125mm, these being followed by a roller – with purchasers having a choice between either DD600 or DD600 light rings, or an Aqueel 2.
Users can have a seeder factory-fitted, and choose the company's LD (Low Disturbance) legs fitted as a no-cost option. These complete a similar restructuring operation but cause minimal surface disturbance.
"Many farmers and dealer staff said there is demand for a bigger machine that offers greater output, and the DTX350 is our response," product development manager Ben Covell said.
The DTX350 needs between 200-360hp according to the soil type and the working depth of the legs. Price depends on roller choice: the DD600 rings bringing the unit price to £23,973; the DD Light 600 (£23,275) and the Aqueel 2 £22,750.
Low Disturbance (LD) tines can be supplied in addition to the standard Pro-Lift versions at £456/tine. A factory-fitted oilseeds seeding kit costs £6,573. Prices for following harrows and lighting kits are available on application.
