Farm more efficiently with the new 12,5 m High Speed ​​Disc. The drive to farm more economically is the thought behind every Agrico implement. The new 12,5 m High Speed ​​Disk is an example of this: wider work means more hectares per day, saving more time and ultimately means more money in the farmer’s pocket. The robust specimen made its first appearance at the recent NAMPO harvest day.

Agrico’s first HSD model was introduced to the market in 2017 and was immediately a winner among farmers.

In response to farmers’ need to work even wider, the 8 m model was added in 2023, not knowing that a year later he would be the little brother again.

Emile Maree from Agrico Lichtenburg says that the new 12,5 m HSD has been designed to help farmers increase hectares: “The more hectares you can cultivate, the more economical the tool is. This HSD needs about 30 kW per metre to work efficiently; this means a tractor requirement of just 360 kW for the entire implement.”

Higher costs in recent years have ensured that farmers switch to larger tractors and therefore larger implements. Larger equipment requires less labour, less maintenance and gives farmers better control. Because farmers want to finish the job as quickly as possible with less equipment, the 12,5 m HSD is the perfect addition to any farm.

This model has 360 mm discs, folds up for easy and quick moving and has hydraulic depth control.
