Why choose UNICO M
The wide range of available configurations makes the UNICO M plough extremely versatile for use with medium power tractors. The NSH version with hydraulic No Stop system allows safe and effective ploughing.
UNICO M - United Kingdom
UNICO M
Parallelogram mounted plough
Designed for in furrow ploughing, UNICO M has multiple working position correction and safety systems to handle the combined tasks of soil aeration, crop residue burial and incorporation. Doing away with welded joints between the frame and plough bodies in favour of bolting ensures strength, reliability and stability even under considerable stress. Available in an up to 5 bodies configuration, it is suitable for tractors with horsepower up to 200 HP.
Power required
90 - 180 HP
Number of bodies
3 - 5
Section of the frame
120x120 mm
Bodies Working Width
30 - 55 cm
Modular design
The modular design means a standard frame built to accommodate three or four plough bodies, with the option of attaching an additional body using a bolted-on connection plate (standard issue on extendible versions), meaning coupling can be done in a matter of seconds. The headstock also allows for different types of configuration. The upper hitch point and rotation pin are part of a central housing that is an integral part of the plough, while the lower hitch points feature bolt-on removable flanged fixings, offering a number of advantages: switching quickly from the fixed headstock configuration to an oscillating one or to different category hitches in a matter of seconds and, lastly, being able to change the height of the connection to the lift to accommodate tractors with different wheels sizes.
"SMOOTH SET" frame
UNICO M features the "SMOOTH SET" parallelogram system, designed to optimise true line and first body working width adjustment setup times and improve the accuracy of work in the field. This system means that, on the one hand, there is less stress on the frame and headstock and, on the other, the true line and first body width adjustments are not affected by changes to the working width.
Easy adjustments
Working width can be mechanically adjusted by means of the STEP-BY-STEP type, PASSO system, which has 5 bolt position options for locking in the most suitable setup in just a few steps. Alternatively, the VARIO version features a non-stop adjustment system. Working width is changed by means of a hydraulic cylinder by suitably adjusting hydraulic power unit's relevant controls.
All 4+0 versions (extendible 4-bodies models) come with the automatic frame alignment memory, which allows the weight of the plough to be centred over the pivot shaft during turnover, thus reducing stress on tractor's lift arms, as well as preventing it from hitting the ground during turnover, which is particularly important when dealing with 5-bodies versions.
Unstoppable NSH
In addition to the classic shear bolt system, there is the option of the NSH version with Non-Stop Hydraulic safety system. Hydraulic cylinders connected to the rear of each plough body - with a pre-charge that can be hydraulically adjusted from the cab - enable the bodies in question to be lifted in the event of impact, returning them to the right position as soon as they have cleared the obstacle. Given their working position behind the wheels of the tractor, the first and fourth plough bodies have larger-bore cylinders to withstand a higher load, considering the more compacted soil they have to work.
Special contents
"SMOOTH SET" PARALLELOGRAM FRAME
The "SMOOTH SET" parallelogram frame features an innovative adjustment system that allows the true line to be corrected for improved tractor use and quick working width adjustment. In addition, working width can be changed without altering the true line and first body position adjustments.
INTERCHANGEABLE HEADSTOCK
The upper hitch point and rotation pin are part of a central housing that is an integral part of the plough, while the lift links feature bolt-on removable flanged fixings. This exclusive feature means to change configuration quickly, switching from a fixed headstock to an oscillating one, while it is possible to switch to different category linkages in a matter of seconds.
PASSO MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT
The working width mechanical adjustment system is simple and robust, with 5 bolt adjustment options for locking in the most suitable setup in just a few steps.
NON-STOP HYDRAULIC WORKING WIDTH ADJUSTMENT (VARIO)
Working width is changed with a hydraulic cylinder, which adjusts the working width of each plough body uniformly. The adjustment range - from 30 to 55 cm for each body depending on the type of mouldboard used - allows the best performance achievment in terms of productivity.
All 4+0 versions (extendible 4-bodies models) come with the automatic frame alignment memory, which allows the weight of the plough to be centred over the pivot shaft during turnover, which results in less stress on tractor's lift arms, while also preventing it from hitting the ground during turnover, which is particularly important when dealing with 5-bodies versions.
SHEAR BOLT MECHANICAL SAFETY SYSTEM
The classic bolt solution is simple and reliable, recommended for ground with occasional stones or obstacle. On reaching the breaking point, the bolt shears, lifting the body and preventing damage to the machine. Replacing the bolt is very simple and fast, even in the field.
NSH ACTIVE SAFETY SYSTEM
With the NSH (NON-STOP HYDRAULIC) system, hydraulic cylinders connected to the rear of each plough body - with a pre-charge that can be hydraulically adjusted from the cab - enable the plough bodies to be lifted in the event of impact, returning them to the right position as soon as they have cleared the obstacle. This is achieved with the use of nitrogen piston accumulators
