Hilling disc Ø 300 or 460 mm – tractor, animal traction, walking tractor

A hilling disc that adapts to your traction equipment

The hilling disc throws soil in from both sides of a row to form a ridge, reshape it, or earth up crops such as potatoes, leeks or asparagus. This smooth, dished disc moves the soil in a single pass. It can replace a share-type ridger when the soil is loaded with crop residues.

Our disc is not limited to one type of machine. The mounting bracket and shank are made to order in our workshop in Moyrazès. The disc can therefore be fitted to the frame of a tractor-drawn implement, to an animal-drawn tool carrier such as the Kassine (Prommata) or the Kombine (Jardin d'Illas), or to the toolbar of a walking tractor.

Two diameters to suit your work

• Ø 300 mm: for small ridges, narrow beds and light equipment (walking tractor, animal traction).
• Ø 460 mm: for taller ridges and work behind a tractor or on a 4- or 6-disc ridger.

To form a complete ridge, discs are usually mounted in pairs, facing each other. Each disc is sold on its own: order two for one ridge, or more to equip a multi-row ridger.

Request a quote: send us your dimensions

Every machine has its own dimensions. So that we can make a suitable bracket and shank, please tell us when ordering or requesting a quote:

• the carrier equipment (tractor or implement model, animal-drawn tool carrier, walking tractor);
• the section of the tube that will hold the disc (square or rectangular, in mm);
• the disc diameter you want and the number of discs;
• if possible, a photo of the mounting point.

If your set-up falls outside the listed options, contact us: our workshop in Moyrazès designs specific mountings on quotation.

Maintenance

• Grease the bearing housing regularly through the grease nipple, especially at the start of the season and after working in wet conditions.
• As the disc is supplied unpainted, clean it after use and store it under cover to limit rust.
• Check that the bracket is tight on the tube before each season.

Frequently asked questions

Can the hilling disc be fitted to a Kassine or a Kombine?

Yes. We make the bracket and shank to match the tube section of your tool carrier, whether it is a Kassine (Prommata) or a Kombine (Jardin d'Illas). Send us its dimensions for a quote.

Can this hilling disc be used with a walking tractor?

Yes, the disc can be fitted to the toolbar of a walking tractor. The Ø 300 mm is generally better suited to this type of light equipment. Tell us the model and the dimensions of the toolbar.

Is the angle of the hilling disc adjustable?

No. The disc is fixed on its axle: its working angle is set by the mounting. It turns freely on its bearing housing while working.

Do I need one or two discs to make a ridge?

Two discs facing each other are usually used to throw soil in from both sides of the row. As the disc is sold individually, allow two per row.

What is the difference between the 300 mm and the 460 mm disc?

The Ø 460 mm moves more soil and forms taller ridges: it is suited to work behind a tractor. The Ø 300 mm is lighter and easier to handle, making it better suited to walking tractors and animal traction.

How do I get a quote for a specific mounting?

Contact us with details of your equipment, the section of the mounting tube and the number of discs you need. We make the bracket and shank to order and will reply with a tailored proposal.
