23X-Press

Operating Instructions

The SIMBA X-Press is a versatile implement

designed to perform an excellent shallow

cultivation combined with effective

consolidation.

It can be used in reduced tillage systems to

incorporate stubble or to work down

ploughing on lighter soil types. Like all Simba

machines it features the latest innovations

which combine to give an efficient, well-built

unit with unrivalled reliability.

Consolidation is key to most operations. The

design of the X-Press ensures that this is not

compromised during use. This is because

the penetration of the front discs is achieved

by angling the disc gangs and not by

transferring weight from the rear roller onto

the discs. The in line rear roller ensures

uniform consolidation is achieved across the

field.

The X-Press can operate in situations where

high levels of surface trash exist. This is

possible because of the massive clearance

within the machine. The front and rear disc

gangs are 1050mm (42") apart and the

distance between the rear gang and the DD

roller is another 815mm (33"). The fact that

the DD roller is 700mm (28") in diameter also

helps ease the flow of trash and ensures that

the rolling resistance is kept to a minimum.

The X-Press is designed for high speed

operation at 8-l2kph. The in-built weight of

around 1 tonne per metre ensures that the

desired depth is maintained at the optimal

forward speed.

Movement from field to field or along the road

is safe and simple. The X-Press wings fold

vertically whilst the main frame raises parallel

to the ground giving minimal height and width

for transport. An optional rear drawbar allows

a following implement (such as a Cambridge

Roll) to be used and towed in tandem with

the X-Press.

4. Adjustment / Operation

Because of the in line rear DD roller the X-

Press can be tilted rearward during headland

turns. The discs are then lifted clear off the

ground reducing the risk of overworking the

headlands.
