What does the MFC do?

 




 

 







 

 
The MFC consists of a multipurpose chassis combined with an assortment of accessories which can be combined in various ways to accomplish the specific tasks you need done: subsoilling, chisel, zone/strip-till and combinations.

Why choose the MFC?

 
 

This machine is of simple design and very robust: Working the soil can be hard, at times

The non-stop hydraulic protection system, with its nitrogen tank, is a Cadillac reset system compared to the mechanical or spring loaded reset mechanisms (We know we have manufactured these mechanical systems in the past); the gentleness of this system contributes to lessen wear and tear on the various components, not only on the MFC but also the tractor.

The MFC is designed for tractors from 80Hp and up

We offer the MFC in 6 standard sizes and 5 different configurations.

We can, upon request, customize the MFC to fit your specific needs: wider spacing, accessory configurations, etc.


 
 
 

The MFC: subsoiler configuration

 
 

Mounted chassis, 3 shanks (7½' working width) to 7 shanks (17½' working width) with 30" spacing and depth gauge wheel.

Four configurations are recommended:

  • Subsoiler in W configuration to decompact and aerate the soil: the subsoil shanks, equipped with our non-stop hydraulic reset system, are positioned in a W formation, working at a depth of 10" to 20", perfect for subsoiler work.
  • Subsoiler in W configuration with coulters: the addition of coulters to the subsoiler shanks permits the MFC to work fields, heavy with residue, such as corn stalks.
  • Subsoiler in W configuration with chisel shanks: combining subsoiler shanks with staggered chisel shanks, the MFC can perform primary tillage while subsoiling.
  • Subsoiler with coulters and chisel shanks: the complete machine! It decompacts while working residue laden soil.

The MFC, this chisel plough

 
 

Three configurations are recommended:

  • Chisel shanks positioned at 15": the MFC becomes a chisel plough carried by the hydraulics and due to the non-stop hydraulic reset system chisel shanks is able to work from 6" to 12" in depth.
  • Coulter-chisel at 15": Add coulters in front of the chisel shanks to work surfaces with residue.
  • Chisel at 10": for more refined work and better soil break-up.

The MFC as Zone/Strip Till

 
 

Mounted chassis, 4 rows (10' working width) and 6 rows (15' working width)
Semi-mounted chassis, 6 rows (15' working width) and 8 rows (20' working width)

Three configurations as a Zone-Till (Deep Cut) are recommended:

  • Coulter with minimum till shank: this is the zone-till base model creating a single fissure in the soil surface, with a choice of points, penetrating from 12" to 20"
  • Coulter with minimum till shank and ridger disks. The addition of disks at the back permits to work up the soil thus better prepared for the spring.
  • Coulter with row cleaner, minimum till shank and ridger disks to create a fissure and work up a residue laden surface.
The machine can be transformed for Strip-till for surface work before seeding. To do so, you must remove the shanks and row cleaner and replace the front coulters and the rear concave disks by three (3) wavy disks to break up surface soil.

The MFC in combination for primary tillage in heavy residue: The Tridem

 
 

Semi-mounted chassis, 3 shanks (7½' working width) to 6 shanks (15' working width) with 30 " spacing

The Tridem works in three stages:

  1. Coulters equipped with spring resets cuts residue in front of the subsoiler shanks.
  2. The subsoiler shanks equipped with our non-stop hydraulic reset system, spaced every 30", works the soil from depths of 12" to 20", lifting and decompacting soil layers
  3. A set of two staggered rows of independent spring controlled disks which have an effective depth of 7½" break up clods and incorporate residue.

Since the Tridem is semi-mounted with its subsoiler shanks situated in front of the wheels. This adds weight to the tractor rear end, improving traction.

The rear section is comprised of disks and is vertically adjustable due to a lifting system similar to a tractor's three point hitch. It is also detachable and can be attached directly to the tractor hydraulics.

Characteristics of the mounted chassis

 
 

Robust, the chassis, supported by the hydraulics, is manufactured with three rows of 4 " square tubular steel permitting attachments at different areas. Crossbeams placed at strategic places strengthen the entire structure. All attachment points are made of tempered steel.

Available in 4 standard widths
6' for 3 rows
8½' for 4 rows
11' for 5 rows
13½' for 6 rows

By default, the chassis is built in multiples of 30" to facilitate row crop work such as corn.

The central control system for our non-stop hydraulic is installed on the front section and is equipped with an oversized pressure gauge for easy reading.

The chassis sides permit expansion sections to be bolted on.

Type 11L15 depth wheel permits uniform results. The height can be adjusted manually with the top link adjustment arm. It can be installed at various places for better convenience.

Upon request, we can adapt the chassis to your specific needs

Characteristics of the semi-mounted chassis

 
 

This chassis is in part supported by the tractor's 3 point hitch and by its own wheels.

Available in 3 standard widths
8½' for 3 and 4 rows
13½' for 5 and 6 rows
18½' foldable for 7 and 8 rows

Since the subsoiler shanks are situated in front of the wheels, the energy created by downward pull of the soil on the shanks is transferred to the tractor hydraulic thus improving traction.
The attachment bar can be changed to accommodate categories II and III.

The central control system for our non-stop hydraulic is installed on the front section and is equipped with an oversized pressure gauge for easy reading

Radial tires 500/50R17 adapted for humid conditions ensure good traction and stability.

To convert to the Tridem configuration our unique hydraulic attachment system is installed at the rear of the MFC, thus permitting the addition of a disk harrow. The harrow can be installed directly to the tractor with category II attachments.

Available Accessories

 
 

Subsoiler shank working depth from 10" to 20"

The shank has a thickness of 1¼" and is 5" wide

Our non-stop hydraulic protection system which gently protects the shank is adjustable from inside the tractor cabin through an oil connection; there is no better system on the market.

You can choose between two types of shanks:

  • Straight shank, minimum till for minimum soil displacement
  •  Curved shank which requires less tractor horsepower

Various type of points are offered

  • Our standard model, reversible, 4½" wide and 13" long, designed for maximum soil lifting
  •  Points compatible with popular models, with or without wings

Chisel shank working depth from 6" to 12"

The shank has a thickness of 1" and is 3" wide

The same non-stop hydraulic protection system, as with the subsoiler, protects the shank

Various type of points are offered:

  •  Chisel points, straight or twisted
  •  Duck foot sweeps for harrowing

Concave disk working depth to 7"

You can choose either a 20" disk or a 22" disk

A spring loaded reset system protects the unit

The disk is angled at 19o

Straight or wavy coulter working depth to 4"

You can choose from the following types:

  •  a straight 20" coulter of the type ripple
  •  a coulter(fluted) with 12 waves, ¾" x 17" in diameter or a 7/8" x 18" in diameter
  • a coulter(fluted) with 8 waves with the dimensions of 2" x 18 or 20" in diameter

A spring loaded reset system protects the unit

Row cleaner

13" star shaped wheel with sharpened teeth remove residue with extreme efficiency.
The unit is attached to the shank in one of several positions. A more aggressive removal of residue use one of the top holes. Use of the bottom holes has a more superficial effect on residue.
The unit floats on the surface and will avoid rocks. The unit pushed the residue using gravity to create the necessary pressure to the soil.

Ridger disks working up to 3" in depth.

Two 18" disks adjustable both in height, distance and angle, permit to work the soil surface when mounted onto a Zone/strip-till. A mechanical spring release system protects the unit.
