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:
- Coulters equipped with spring resets cuts
residue in front of the subsoiler shanks.
- 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
- 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.

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.
