Cultivators
Independent disc cultivators – Normandie
The Normandie high speed disc is a versatile machine, adapting to various types of soil and working conditions. Depths ranging from 2 to 12 cm can be achieved, depending on the type of finish to be produced.
The Normandie + has several features that set it apart from the competition:
- The working angle ensures good soil penetration, even in dry conditions, providing even tillage across the entire width for an optimal seedbed.
- Elastomer overload protection is strengthened by the frame, which is secured by four triangular elastomer struts and six screws. These increase safety in case a foreign object is encountered.
- Maintenance-free SKF bearings, guaranteed for three years, give the Normandie + a long service life. A 250 mm space between the blades ensures even tillage across the entire width, even when there is residue.
- The 510 mm large-notched discs fitted as standard on the Normandie + provide improved penetration in all conditions.
- Choose from a wide selection of eight different rollers to suit your needs.

High-capacity independent disc cultivators – Occitan
The Occitan heavy duty high speed disc is ideal for primary tillage application in tough condition. It can be used to work the soil to a depth of up to 18 cm. A key feature of its versatility is its ability to perform shallow work such as seedbed preparation.
The Occitan provides several advantages:
- The “non-stop” spring-loaded safety system ensures continuous work for better soil penetration and greater stability in the most difficult conditions.
- The two 620 mm large-diameter blades are 6 mm thick to properly cut residue and create a homogeneous mix.
- A wide choice of rollers, with up to 10 available depending on the model, ensures maximum versatility.
- The distribution head can be installed on the entire Occitan range to sow your cover crop in one-pass. The diffusers are located at the front of the roller, along with a front hopper.

Stubble tine harrow – Crossland
The Crossland is a chisel plow with the lowest cost per acre on the market.
With the Crossland, you can vary the working depth, number of passes and options on the equipment to achieve various finishes. Depths can vary from 2 to 30 cm, depending on the type of work to be done.
This is one of the most versatile chisels on the market, allowing you to work on almost any type of crop while reducing the number of passes. By working at a reduced depth but with a greater number of tines, you move less soil per tine, which reduces friction. This means you use less energy, consume less and your parts last longer—all while achieving a top-quality finish.
There are two systems to choose from, depending on the desired finish and plant volume. The flexible steel blade attachment saves weight and moves out of the way of obstacles. The staggered mounting improves flow.

Ploughs
Reversibles Mounted Ploughs – Rover
The Rover reversible mounted plow is easy to use and adjusts to all ploughing conditions.
With its robust design, the Rover’s centre of gravity is located at the front, close to the hitch. This gives the tractor better manoeuvrability and makes the plow easier to lift, while still being heavy enough to penetrate in clay or compacted soils.
Make a lasting and worthwhile investment.

Semi-Mounted Ploughs – Voyager
The Voyager reversible semi-mounted plow ensures a high work output.
Choose between two types of semi-mounted plows, single-wheel or carriage, based on the topography of your field, your manoeuvrability needs and the desired working width.
The Voyager enables precise ploughing to a depth of between 15 and 40 cm over various working widths. The Voyager range offers a wide choice of configurations to best suit your operating conditions.

Sub-Soilers
Sub-Soilers – Helios Cracker
The Helios Cracker subsoiler makes it easy to incorporate your residues after harvesting and loosen the soil over the entire horizon.
The Cracker tine has the advantage of being able to work at depths of up to 45 cm, and its profile allows it to perform shallower work at a depth of 15 cm. The 45 cm spacing between the tines allows the soil to be cracked across the entire width, increasing the root exploration area for the next crop. The “non-stop” hydraulic safety system enables the pressure on the tines to be adjusted continuously from the cab.
The double spike roller ensures even levelling on the soil surface while leaving an aerated structure for easy drainage in the spring.
