Tine Drill Toolbar (TDT)
Additional Information
The 6m Tine Drill Toolbar will be launched at the Cereals Event 2024 after leading the UK market for more than seven years in low disturbance loosening systems.
The TDT has been designed with trialled and tested features and the proven framework from a variety of our loosening models, combining them to bring an extremely competitive tine drill to the market.
The frame is supplied with a CAT3 and 4 linkage headstock and uses 20mm Grange tines over four rows on the toolbar frame at a tine spacing of 250mm centres. A unique feature of the design is the use of contouring wings which have a pivot pitch of up to 5deg side to side integrated into the carrying frame above each wing to allow for undulations and varying terrain, maintaining seed depth across the full width of the drill.
Grange Machinery is working with Bourgault Tillage Tools (BTT) UK Ltd for the supply of tines and will be offering the range of Bourgault tips. The TDT launched at Cereals is fitted with the Bourgault 688-HLD-2000 holder and the 610-TIP-4030, four-inch paired row tip. This high chromium tip with a strategically placed ¾in carbide nose tile not only does most of the work of the coulter, but also creates a drainage channel below where the seed is placed.
Hydraulic seed depth adjustment allows for easy and accurate change on the move with each of the land wheels having a pair of tines positioned equally behind them in the frame to remove all wheelings, leaving a perfect finish.
The drill can be specified with either one or two distribution heads for seed-only or a grain and fertiliser combination.
An LED road lighting kit is standard, along with depth adjustable track eradicator tine brackets to accept various manufacturer eradicator tines.
The front tank is a choice for the customer’s preference and can be specified according to the type of metering system they prefer or other features that they would like to have incorporated into the system. Grange Machinery is working with all mainstream manufacturers’ front tanks to use in combination with the rear mounted Grange TDT.
Further options include a rear access platform and seeder mounting bracket, Stocks Turbo Jet 8 i-Con seed applicator and rear bar fitted with seed pipes and outlets brackets for avadex / slug pellet application.
Available in working widths: 3m, 4m, 4.5m, 4.8m, 5m & 6m, 250Hp + is required for the 6m TDT.
Options and Specifications
A game changer in direct seeding tine drills.....
Strong & Robust Frame.....
Over the last few years more and more of our current and new enquiring customers have asked if we can offer a strong, robust frame that would allow them to have a tine drill that can be used in heavy clay soils right the way through to sandy loams.
The model has been designed with trialled and tested features and proven framework from a variety of our loosening models and combining them to bring an extremely competitive tine drill to the market.
Floating wings allow for precision seeding.....
A unique feature of the design is the use of contouring wings which have a pivot pitch of up to 5deg side to side integrated into the carrying frame above each wing to allow for undulations and varying terrain, maintaining seed depth from front to back across the full width of the drill.
Optimum Trash Management....
The frame is supplied with a CAT3 and 4 linkage headstock and uses 20mm Grange tines over four rows on the toolbar frame at a tine spacing of 250mm centres featuring a resting area in the centre section for optimum trash flow management.
Hydraulic seed depth control...
Hydraulic seed depth adjustment allows for easy and accurate change on the move with each of the land wheels having a pair of tines positioned equally behind them in the frame to remove all wheelings, leaving a perfect finish.
Tested & Proven Coulter Technology....
Grange Machinery is working with Bourgault Tillage Tools (BTT) UK Ltd for the supply of tines and will be offering the range of Bourgault tips. The TDT launched at Cereals is fitted with the 688-HLD-2000 holder and the 610-TIP-4030, four-inch paired row tip (grain & fert). Options of a single 19mm shoot also available for seed only, beans or OSR available and are extremely quick and easy to switch over. This high chromium tip with a strategically placed 3/4" carbide nose tile not only does most of the work of the coulter, but also creates a drainage channel below where the seed is placed
Hydraulic levelling paddle system.....
We offer a choice of either a double tine harrow or hydraulic levelling paddle system and then a 'Z' tine harrow to finish.
The hydraulic levelling paddle system can be used on the move to manage the soil flow and coverage behind the tines is kept consistent and leaving a level finish prior to the 'Z' tine harrow. The hydraulic function allows to precise position of the paddle in varying soil conditions and surface residue but also gives the option of rotating the paddle beam completely out of work if required.
Double 'Z' tine harrow setup...
The rear of the machine can also be tailored with a double rear harrow frame, offering a multiple of working positions for differing trash and soil conditions which are height and pitch adjustable and fitted with a Z-tine harrow system creating the perfect finish.
