2017 Maschio Gaspardo GIGANTE 600

The GIGANTE model has a great operational capacity and therefore high productivity levels combined with a folding frame for easy transport on road. High autonomy, down time reduced to a minimum, along with a precise distribution bring efficiency to top levels.

The capacity of penetration in difficult conditions is given by the large notched disc (475 mm/18.7in diameter) and thanks to the reduced angle of action creates a groove very thin, thus giving reduced disturbance to the soil. The disks are connected to the frame using heavy arms and sturdy cast steel. Thanks to the hydraulic hitch the transport wheels raise totally off of the ground during field work causing maximum penetration of the units. The spring structure perpendicular to the ground allows the element to follow even very irregular shapes and to keep constant pressure applied to the soil.

The rubber gauge wheel systems is for the farmer who like to make adjustments to the seed depth often. We can do this with a pin adjustment on the side of the unit. The rubber gauge wheel system is not as suitable as the cast iron unit in very wet heavy soil type conditions.

Thanks to the seeding depth control made of cast steel you will have no problem maintaining a constant depth even in the harshest conditions. The depth limiter is made of a hard cast steel thus helping with the penetration of the disc while making sure that your seed depth is uniform producing an even emergence. Due to weight of the unit we have no problem working well in rocky conditions. Even wet conditions are not a problem with our tungsten carbide scrapers to keep the heavy soil away from the openers and limiters.

To vary the depth from 5cm/2in to 3cm/1in all you have to do is change the limiter on the side of the disc.

The closure of the narrow furrow is obtained by a tapered wheel mounted on an arm independent of the unit itself. This allows for the wheel to move independently of the unit, running beside the furrow so that there will not be to much compaction over the furrow. The closing system works very well in rocky conditions.
