Alpego Power Harrows are available as either rigid or hydraulic folding models.
The rigid range is available in 4 working widths from 2.5m-4m and suitable for tractors from 85-320hp, whilst the hydraulic folding power harrows range from 4m-8m, with a requirement of between 130-500hp.
All models feature a close rotor spacing to ensure a fine tilth is created and can be combined with a seed drill for use as a one pass establishment tool.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Details that make a difference.
Parallelogram Mounted Rear Roller
All models feature a rear roller mounted on a parallelogram linkage.
The parallelogram linkage ensures the rear roller maintains a constant angle when the working depth is altered. When used in combination with a seed drill the parallelogram linkage ensures the angle of the frame stays the same, which allows the power harrow depth to be adjusted without affecting the coulter pressure or depth.
Levelling Bar Mounted On Rear Roller
This means the levelling bar doesn’t need adjusting every time the power harrow depth is changed. When used in combination with a seed drill consistent coulter pressure and depth are maintained as the power harrow is adjusted.
Oscillating Frame
A feature on all Alpego folding power harrows, the contour following oscillating frame, which allows the power harrow wing sections to float up and down up to 10° whilst the headstock remains rigid.
(20° float in total). The wing sections can be fixed if required.
ALPEGO INSIDE - ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS
Bespoke Gearbox
The bespoke Alpego designed gearbox has:
- Large diameter bevel gears
- A high-volume gearbox casing
- A design that promotes excellent oil flow around the gears
- Market leading cooling, by allowing heat to radiate and dissipate efficiently
GEAR SWITCHING
Simple gear change to suit the rotor speed to the job in hand.
Lubricants
Alpego lubricants are made with specific characteristics to suit their machines, which ensures optimal lubrication and cooling.
CLOSE ROTOR SPACING PRODUCING A FINE TILTH
For the best quality finish, the 25cm spacing between the rotors give Alpego Power Harrows more rotors than many other power harrows on the market today with 8 blades per meter. Most importantly it provides a finer seedbed even in the most heaviest of soils.
Rotor Timing
Alpego Power Harrow rotors are timed to follow a precise sequence which reduces the load on the power harrow transmission and tractor hp requirements.
SFERA DESIGN
Rotor and trough design
The Alpego BG rigid, DJ and DP folding models utilise the SFERA rotor and trough design which consists of heavy-duty ball bearings and a 37.5mm diameter hardened rotor shaft.
- Hardened rotor shaft
- HD ball bearings
- Grease nipple to lubricate top bearing
- Bolt on rotor support
- Stone guards
- Four rotors per meter producing a fine tilth
- 37.5mm diameter rotor shaft
TWIN FORCE TEK DESIGN
Rotor and trough design
A solution for higher hp tractors, the patented TWIN FORCE TEK models (RMT, RTEK and DTEK) feature a 40mm diameter hardened rotor shaft and Timken taper roller bearings.
- High performance up to 350hp
- Hardened rotor shaft
- Taper roller bearings
- Stone guards
- 4 rotors per meter giving fine soil cultivation, producing a fine tilth
- 40mm diameter rotor shaft
TWIN FORCE MAX DESIGN
Rotor and trough design
The ultra heavy-duty option, suitable for tractors up to 500hp. The patented TWIN FORCE MAX models (RMAX and DMAX) feature a 55mm diameter hardened rotor shaft and Timken taper roller bearings.
- High performance up to 500hp
- Hardened rotor shaft
- Taper roller bearings
- Stone guards
- 4 rotors per meter giving fine soil cultivation, producing a fine tilth
- 55mm diameter rotor shaft
Tine Options
Rapido Quick Fit Tines
Quick and simple replacement, no need for spanners or tools. All rigid models come as standard with RAPIDO quick fit tines.
A number of different tine options are available, including:
- RAPIDO Quick Fit Steel Tine
- RAPIDO Quick Fit Drop Forged Tine
- RAPIDO Quick Fit Drop Forged Wearproof Tungsten Carbide coated Tine
- RAPIDO Quick Fit Drop Forged Tungsten Tine
Benefits of Drop Forging
- Accurate size, shape and quality
- Harder wearing for longer life and reduced wearing metal cost
- Superior strength and durability
REAR ROLLERS
For perfect soil tillage - Alpego rear rollers are designed to leave a level and compact surface finish, ready for drilling.
Packer Roller
Alpego packer rollers are available in 480, 520 or 570mm diameter depending on the power harrow they are fitted to. They are fitted with centrally adjustable individual scrapers and the levelling board is mounted to the front of the Packer roller to prevent multiple adjustments needing to be made when the power harrow depth is being altered.
The Packer roller is standard on all Alpego Power Harrows.
Cage Roller
The Cage roller is available in 420 and 500mm diameters and is ideal for working in dry, light to medium soils. The roller controls the power harrow depth and helical horizontal tubes break clods whilst leaving an open surface.
The Cage roller is an option on all Alpego Power Harrows.
Trapeze Roller
The Trapeze roller is 505mm in diameter and has notched ridges which provide additional drive in soft soil. The notched cast-steel roller ridges are spaced at 12.5cm or 15cm centres to line-up wit the drill coulters and provide a small furrow for the disc coulter to work in. The end result is excellent soil to seed contact and improved germination and establishment.
The Trapeze roller is an option on all Alpego Power Harrows.
