Fig. 2 GAL-E disc harrow.

2.4

Intended use of the GAL-E disc harrow

The GAL-E version of the disc harrow, unlike the GAL-C version, uses arms on

cylinders to hydraulically lift the roller during transport. In addition, the axis distance of
the rows of working discs has been reduced to 800 mm resulting in smaller footprint and
facilitating transport and the manoeuvrability of the entire set.
