2024 Maschio Gaspardo HS 8

Traditionally specialists in precision planting, GASPARDO is also recognized for the reliability and operational capacity of its row crop cultivators, carefully designed for inter-row tilling of the main extensive, cereal and horticultural crops. The HS model is characterised by the frame with hydraulically folding side wings of the mounted type and is available in the “Beet” and “Corn” versions up to a maximum of 18 rows.

GASPARDO row crop cultivator element is characterised by high-level structural solutions such as the robust double parallelogram connection system with high ground clearance with preload spring, quick release and solidly fixed elements. These have a staggered arrangement of the “Superflow” springs which allows both an easy flow of soil without any risk of clogging and mounting different types of working parts and side protections according to the different operating requirements.

GASPARDO row crop cultivator element is coupled to the sturdy frame, characterised by a single beam structure with hydraulically folding side wings that allows a transport footprint of only 8.2 ft for versions up to 12 rows. Thanks to the automatic locking device of the side wings, transport is safe and stable. In the versions equipped with fertilizer spreader, the structure is of the double frame type, to offer maximum strength; 15.8 in load-bearing wheels are fitted as standard, an optimal solution especially for large working widths. For the compact basic versions, not equipped with fertilizer spreader, front coupling to the tractor is available on request.

Operational efficiency in the field can be improved thanks to the fertilizer spreader, allowing the elimination of weeds, distribution and burying of the fertilizer to be concentrated in a single pass. For the versions from 12 to 18 rows, the fertilizer spreader is of the PA1 mounted front hopper type, while for the versions up to 8 rows, the classic hopper mounted on the frame is available with a capacity of 251 gal both in painted sheet metal and in stainless steel.

To increase the working precision in the field, the HS model can be combined with the SMART DRIVING system (on versions up to 12 rows with 17.7-19.7 inter-spacing without fertilizer spreader), an independent group applied between the tractor and the row crop cultivator that allows to drive automatically through the rows allowing to bring the blades closer to the plant up to 1.2 in even at high forward speeds. To ensure effective motion transmission, the double drive wheel is equipped with teeth to increase traction on the ground.
