Seppi releases new forestry tiller with operator advantages

The Seppi Supersoil 2-speed Powershift is the newest version of the company’s forestry tiller and stone crusher. It is able to crush stones up to 50cm in diameter, grind big stumps and till the soil up to 30cm deep in the ground. It is used for land preparation for agriculture, to improve land by crushing rocks or by eliminating stumps from former plantations. Source: Timberbiz

With the new 2-speed Powershift technology this machine expands its range of applications from being a tiller-crusher suitable to work in ground to now becoming a fully operational forestry mulcher able to work above ground.

In the second faster gear of the rotor the machine is able to mulch big stumps, brush and any kind of vegetation efficiently down to a small size.

This new system enables the operator to change speed of the implement without changing speed of the PTO on the tractor and without leaving the cabin of the tractor. This is possible thanks to a patented central gearbox that incorporates a special hydraulically activated friction clutch.

So, it gives the operator the ability to change speed with the push of a button on a touch screen near the operator.

The result is that the operator can change speed whenever he thinks it is necessary anytime during the operation, and therefore react immediately to changing field conditions. This reduces power consumption and increases working speed.

One machine can be used for multiple jobs on the same work site, where traditionally two or more machines would be needed. The need to travel to the work sites with several machines, a

cost factor that is important for agricultural contractors and is now eliminated.
