Diamant 18
- 6-8 furrows
- Large tractors up to 650hp (478 kW)
- Box section frame 180 x 180 x 12,5 mm
For extreme operating conditions
With 6 to 8 furrows and a solid 180 x 180 x 12.5 mm box section frame, the robust Diamant 18 is specially designed for large tractors with up to 650 hp and for use in extreme conditions.
„The seedbed is crucial for the perfect product. The plough is one of the essential tools for this.“
Felix Wartenberger, Farm Manager, Gemüsering Jessen
Diamant 18 at a glance
Optimal balance
The Diamant 18 performs particularly well in dry soils thanks to its optimum soil penetration and stable design. This is not only due to its increased weight, but also to the updated wheel position.To make the best possible use of the extra frame weight for optimum soil penetration, the transport wheel is now located behind the base frame. As a result, the plough bodies penetrate the soil reliably and maintain the desired working depth consistently.
The new wheel position results in a significantly lower centre of gravity so that the plough is subjected to lower rotational forces and there is less strain on the rear lift. This not only protects the plough components, but also ensures high tipping stability of the tractor/plough combination and a smooth ride. Even with an extended wheelbase, the Diamant 18 impresses with its optimised handling thanks to an innovative system for steering the transport wheel.
Always on track
The steering of the transport wheel automatically adapts the steering angle to the turning manoeuvre and, in combination with the 90-degree steering angle on the plough headstock, enables the smallest possible turning radii at the headland. The transport wheel can also be actively hydraulically controlled and manually steered to manoeuvre around field corners and narrow headlands. After a steering intervention, the steering angle of the transport wheel can be returned to the centre position by actuating the lift. This ensures that the transport wheel is aligned parallel to the plough bodies.
A unique combination
Thanks to its design with a transport wheel behind the base frame and a low centre of gravity, the Diamant 18 can now also be fitted with an integrated FlexPack furrow press. Integrated furrow presses are permanently connected to the plough. This makes them an effective and time-saving solution for good reconsolidation as they do not need to be transported to the field separately.
The FlexPack runs parallel to the plough frame and therefore adapts flexibly to the plough’s variable working width. The result: even reconsolidation without overlaps or gaps.
- To adapt to changes in soil and operating conditions, the FlexPack can be pressurised hydraulically, in addition to its own weight.
- The furrow press rings are arranged in staggered pairs, making them less susceptible to blockages.
- Their V-shaped profile ensures an efficient pressing effect and prevents the implement from sinking in too deeply in light soils.
Proven technology made smart
Ready for the next step
Control units can become a limiting factor, given the large number of hydraulic functions. The LET 24, an additional operating terminal for bundling hydraulic functions. solves this problem. With this terminal, up to four hydraulic functions on the plough can be mapped to two control units on the tractor:
- The steering and front furrow width adjustment, and the lift and depth adjustment are each operated via a separate control unit.
- All hydraulic functions are shown on the 2.4” colour display
- operators can easily switch between the functions to be controlled at the touch of a button.
