Centaur Super
levelling unit
The two-row hollow disc system acts as a
levelling unit (Fig. 23). The discs, which have a
diameter of 460 mm, are arranged so that there
are eight discs per metre of working width. They
mix, crumble and level out the earth.
The working depth of the disc unit is set using
turnbuckles.
When the tine working depth is adjusted, the disc
elements automatically adjust accordingly by
means of a guide connection. The outer
elements can be set separately to the next
working depth to enable clean transit.
For information on setting the working depth, see
page 73.

Centaur Special
levelling unit
The following components (depending on the
equipment) act as levelling elements:
Double discs (Fig. 24) or
Spring tines (Fig. 25)
These elements are mounted on a bar and their
number and position relate to the rear tines of
the
Centaur Special
.
They mainly serve to level the earth, but also
contribute to mixing.
The double discs are more suited to difficult
conditions with high proportions of organic
matter, whereas the spring tines can be used
under normal conditions.
The working depth of the disc unit is set using
turnbuckles.
When the tine working depth is adjusted, the
levelling unit automatically adjusts accordingly by
means of a guide connection.
The outer elements can be set separately to the
next working depth to enable clean transit.
For information on setting the working depth, see
page 73.
