Compact Disc Harrows Rubin & Heliodor

The only true ‘one-pass’ tillage tool – Ideal for minimum-till and vertical tillage farming operations in Western Canada.

German-engineered and designed by LEMKEN, the leader in quality tillage equipment for large-scale farms in more than 50 countries worldwide.

“Its weight and design allows the Rubin to penetrate and mix our heavy soil even in very dry or wet conditions.

2011 was so dry I could not have worked the land without it. After three months of no rain, I went to work in the stubble and got a field-ready finish – getting rid of all the straw – after just one pass instead of two or three, saving me time and fuel. I was also surprised to see quick, heavy germination of volunteers and weeds in the fall.

That always makes next year’s crop cleaner.”

Andreas Schwarz, Schwarz Farms Ltd., St. Eustache, MB Grows 3,000 acres of wheat, oats, canola and soybeans. Using a Rubin Gigant 10m since spring 2011.

Forget about harrows, cultivators, or conventional discs. Create the perfect seedbed with a LEMKEN compact disc harrow in just one pass.

LEMKEN compact discs are versatile and multi-functional – saving on time, fuel, and labour: • Manage heavy residue with ease – chop, spread, mix, and level out tire ruts – all in one simple pass.

• Break and blacken cold, soggy soil for fast warming and a quick start to spring seeding.

• Ideal seedbed preparation for better germination and faster emergence in canola and all other crops.

• Work up hay, pasture or low-lying areas that have been left untouched for years – and be ready to seed after one pass over the field.

• One-pass, mechanical weed control mixes trash and weeds into the ground, reducing or eliminating the need for herbicides.

• The perfect tool for organic farming.

• Engineered for large-scale farms.

Blacken the soil and level out ruts left by sprayers and other equipment.

Unbeatable Performance: • Individually-suspended discs ensure consistent working depths as shallow as 1 or 2 inches.

• Low fuel usage, and low power requirements.

• High working speeds of 10 to 12 mph; Do more acres in a day.

• Constant down-pressure on discs and basket rollers keeps discs in the ground at higher speeds, and packs the soil to protect against moisture loss and erosion.

• Available for tractors up to 600 HP.

Long-wearing blades are constructed of the highest quality steel. Rubin discs are 24.4 inches in diameter and 6 mm thick.

Durable and Lowest Maintenance Disc: • Unique, heavy-duty LEMKEN design reduces stress on disc and bearings for long, troublefree life.

Rubin

• Metal spring system lets discs ride safely over rocks, independent of each other – rather than lifting an entire gang of discs from the ground.

Disc

• LEMKEN offers a variety of rollers to create the ideal seedbed for every field situation.

Frame

• Hydraulically adjusted, springloaded leveling tines level the soil (optional).

Heat sealed with protective steel cap

“The last few years have been extremely wet, leaving us with too much straw and cold ground. One pass with the Heliodor blackens the soil so it can dry out and warm up, and it gives me a flat, firm seedbed. I can do that in one pass, covering 30 acres an hour. Working stubble back into the soil saves nutrients and I don’t waste time burning stubble. My Heliodor even did a fantastic job on alfalfa land, unworked for more than 20 years. In just two passes it looked like I went across it with a Rototiller.”

Corwin Tonn, Tonn Farms Ltd., Preeceville, SK Grows 6,500 acres of cereals and oilseeds. Using a Heliodor 10m since spring 2012.

Heliodor

“Even in high-residue conditions, one pass and the field is black. Doing about 20 acres/hr I’m saving fuel, labour, and wear on the tractor while getting done 35% faster. The field is smooth and level, reducing my concerns about erosion due to working the land repeatedly, and eliminating ridges that trap broadcast fertilizer and cause uneven maturity.

This will pay for itself in two years.”

Michel Camps, CP Farms Ltd., Taber, AB Grows about 2,000 acres of potatoes, corn, sugar beets, wheat and sunflowers.

Using a Rubin 6m since fall 2012.

The Rubin and Heliodor compact disc harrows create a near-perfect field finish in one pass – saving you time and money.
