Mounted plough with parallelogram adjustment and shear bolt safety system
Designed for in furrow ploughing, UNICO S 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 4-bodies configuration (3+1), it is suitable for tractors with horsepower up to 120 HP.
The modular design means to get a standard frame built to accommodate two or three plough bodies, with the option of attaching an additional body using a bolted-on joining 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 connection to the lift to accommodate tractors with different wheel sizes.
UNICO S features "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.
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 hydraulic adjustment system. Working width is changed with a hydraulic cylinder, which adjusts the width uniformly across the various plough bodies.
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 their working position behind the wheels of the tractor as soon as they have cleared the obstacle. Given their position, the first and fourth plough bodies have larger-bore cylinders to withstand a higher load, having to contend with more compacted soil.
