Powavator HS400 Rotary Tiller from Standen Will Be Available in 2024
The most recent information available indicates that the Powavator HS400 rotary tiller from Standen will be obtainable in 2024.
Growers may construct and engineer a two or three-bed machine that precisely matches their needs and soil type because it comes in two-bed straddle and triple-bed choices. The HS400 upgrade is not included in the 400/140 two-bed folding variant, which is still available.
Three field testing seasons and numerous improvements have already been made to the HS400. Slightly smaller side driveways that require less maintenance and cause less disturbance to the soil are one of them. An additional benefit is a deeper hull design that places more space between the rotor’s top and the hull, which reduces fuel consumption by around 25% and tine wear by about 50%. It also requires less power.
A faster rotor speed of 330 rpm from 266 rpm, providing a finer finish and enabling a faster forward speed, and a new main gearbox design rated 400hp and higher are two more enhancements. To accommodate enormous amounts of stone, the company’s engineers also incorporated 10 or 12mm “L” or speed blades, with the choice of a broader point for convex or square bodies.
Not to mention, the equipment has the option of a rear hood for planting systems that don’t need a destoner, as well as Shearbolt or Auto-Reset legs.
“The new HS400 model’s improved capability also extends to the Powavator HS400 Bed Tiller, which combines the effectiveness of the rotary tiller with the bed forming capability of the Standen BX Bedformer series,” the company’s representatives mentioned.
Within each range, there is the choice of several different working widths from 1.8m up to 6.0m, to suit 72″ / 1.8m wheelings and 80″ / 2.0m wheelings as well as different bed forming body/rear wheel configurations.
Manual or Hydraulic parallel linkages attach the body to the mainframe or a KW linkage arrangement is available which allows angle adjustment of the body instead.
