2017 Maschio Gaspardo ORSO RAPIDO PLUS 3000

With the ORSO model Maschio has introduced a new kind of bearing in its harrows: spherical roller bearings, providing greater strength than simple ball or conical roller bearings, combining strength and reliability to ease of maintenance.

This is suitable for continuous or heavy jobs, typical of farm contractors and tilling on rough terrain, with rocks and stones.

The roller bearings enable maintenance to be handled easily and quickly, permitting simple and economical operations typical of ball bearings.

The market demand for increasingly high performance equipment but at the same time versatile and reliable led the Maschio Gaspardo R&D team to revise the HD power harrows range. The main changes have affected the structure of the rotors and transmission groups. Larger sections and always more resistant and reliable bearings allow to increase the loading power of up to 20%.

Double skin structure (internal shell 6 mm, external 5 mm) increases strength, prevents torsion and protects the workings from damage

Main gearbox is critically important to the machine, so it is made directly by Maschio Gaspardo to ensure consistency, strength and quality. Spare gears are available on machines to change rotation speed of tines.

Each bearing has a double rail consisting of two rows of spherical or barrel bearings to cope with heavy workloads. Main Advantages: long Life (Up to 30% longer than traditional tapered roller bearings), high load capacity, easy maintenance (no preloading needed).

QUICKPLUS is a bolt on shield system. Assembling deflectors among the rotors-gear trough clearance, those prevents: stones, twines and debris colliding and wrapping on the rotors shafts. Remove deflectors is quick and easy to operate in no-stony conditions improving soil and residues flow.

25 cm spacing among the rotors gives Maschio Power Harrows more rotors than many other power harrows on the market today, it also lowers the horsepower requirement and most importantly leaves a finer seed bed.

The special design of seals, made of rubber and cellular polyurethane guarantees a perfect sealing and long durability.

Maschios basic rotor design is replicated throughout the range: tine shaft are made from a single casting of pressed steel. This confers rotors higher precision and durability comparing to alternative manufacturing.

QUICKFIT tine system allows the user to replace tines quickly with one turn of the QUICKFIT tool, this minimises downtime and increases safety.

The ON-GRIP tines are ideal for working in hard uncultivated soils with crop residues. Due to the shape of the blades you get excellent mixing of soil, it also leaves a large proportion of the large course soil on the surface preventing the top layer of soil creating a water tight crust.

The tine rotors are all positioned at different angles which allow the power harrow to gradually dig into the soil reducing the vibration transmitted to the tractor and reducing peak loads on the driveline resulting in smoother operation and less fuel consumption.
