Driven by ever decreasing returns, SW listened to what farmers where asking for, started with a clean sheet and created a one pass soil conditioning system, consuming far less power than competitive machines therefore costing considerably less to buy and run.

New from SW is the SUMO Quatro,  a unique machine designed and manufactured in Britain, comprising as its name suggests of four parts, each of these tuned to comprehensively create the finish required.

One - Large 700mm concave discs mounted in pairs on an adjustable beam giving positive depth control to a maximum depth of 150mm.  These discs initiate the chopping/mixing action.

Two - The ultra low draught Subsoiler Legs are mounted in a staggered pattern on a purpose built heavy-duty toolbar, adjusting to a maximum depth of 400mm via pins on the legs, which feature a one- piece quick change point.  Protection is hydraulic auto reset with gas accumulators to give constant pressure

Three - A double row of 500mm concave discs, mounted in pairs on independently suspended arms giving a shock proof durable system with quality low maintenance triple sealed taper roller bearings

Four - The patent applied for Multipacka is uniquely designed to fulfil a number of criteria, comprising, 609mm x 10mm tube mounted on  heavy duty quality bearing, fitted with notched cutting/ drive rings to keep things turning in arduous conditions, giving a total diameter of 800mm.  The ring shoulders feature a convex shape, this creates more clod cracking and reduces the tendency of soil to stick in wet conditions.  The barrel is in close proximity to the convex shoulder and this creates consolidation and cracking even on the top of the ridge, eliminating the need for any further packing.  All these features together make a packer which presses and firms to a higher quality with a lower power requirement than any ring press currently available.
