UNICO M

Mounted plough with parallelogram adjustment and shear bolt safety system

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
