The BT50 Disc Harrow series by Agro-Masz is designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern agriculture, combining high durability, precision engineering, and adaptability for various soil conditions. Engineered for intensive fieldwork, the BT50 series ensures efficient residue management, deep soil penetration, and optimal seedbed preparation.

Disc Configuration and Protection

The BT50 series features two rows of 560 mm diameter discs, available in type "P" (standard) or "C" (high-resistance, 6 mm thick optional). These discs are spaced at either 85 cm or 100 cm, optimizing soil mixing efficiency. Each disc is mounted with a rubber protection system (35x210 mm) that absorbs shocks, reducing component wear and minimizing vibrations. Active side screens with floating connections automatically adjust to field conditions, preventing soil dispersion and rut formation at passage junctions. Hydraulic depth adjustment allows for gradual control over working depth, while the retractable transport carriage with 500/50 R17 wheels ensures stability and ease of transport between fields. Maintenance-free hubs with cassette-sealed bearings eliminate the need for regular lubrication while ensuring longevity in harsh field conditions.

Hitch System

The hitch system of the BT50 series provides multiple configurations to accommodate various tractor setups. It includes eye-shaped hooks with a diameter of 40 mm and 50 mm options, as well as drawbars in categories 3 and 4, with hydraulically adjustable options available for enhanced precision.

Roller Options for Customization

A key feature of the BT50 is its extensive roller options, which allow customization based on soil type and working conditions. The series offers:

• Tubular rollers (500 mm with 9 or 12 tubes)
• Packer rollers (500 mm)
• Crosskill rollers (400 mm)
• Flexi ring rollers (500 mm, 60x10 mm) with standard cleaners
• Rubber rollers (500 mm)
• Multiple double roller configurations combining cage, tube, and C-ring rollers
• Additional C-ring, T-ring, and V-ring rollers (500 mm) with optional standard or chain cleaners

Cutting Roller for Residue Management

For improved residue management, the BT50 can be equipped with an optional hydraulically adjustable front-cutting roller (with a diameter of 380 mm). This roller is designed to shred crop residues from corn, sunflowers, and other high-residue crops, accelerating decomposition and enhancing soil structure. Improving organic matter incorporation reduces reliance on synthetic fertilizers and promotes soil fertility. The cutting roller is also effective in breaking up soil crusts preparing the field for the next cultivation cycle.

Additional Equipment and Functional Enhancements

Additional equipment options further enhance the BT50’s functionality:

• Integrated hydraulic control system allowing centralized hydraulic management from the tractor’s control panel
• Inter-row harrow system positioned between the second row of discs and rollers for improved soil leveling
• Lighting system including 2022 LED lighting with fenders or homologation-compliant fenders
• Seeder attachment (SP230 catch crop seeder holder with an integrated step
• Hot-dip galvanizing for frame protection
• Upgraded hub options, including SKF and OFAS hubs for type "C" discs, providing enhanced durability and performance

Performance and Efficiency

The BT50 series is designed to deliver superior soil preparation with its dual-disc row configuration, cutting roller, and depth-adjustable side screens, ensuring optimal residue mixing, seedbed formation, and soil aeration. With maintenance-free cassette-sealed hubs, shock-absorbing disc mounts, and heavy-duty construction, the BT50 minimizes downtime and extends component life.

Versatility Across Soil Conditions

Its versatility across soil types and crops is further supported by multiple roller options, hydraulic adjustments, and hitch configurations, enabling adaptation to various soil conditions, from compacted fields to fallow land. The high-speed, low-drag design ensures effective stubble cultivation with reduced fuel consumption, making it an economical choice for large-scale operations.
