Cousins is now making a short disc cultivator, the aptly named Top Disc.

On show were the 3.0m rigid and 4.0m folding models, which will be joined by 5.0 and 6.0m models. There’s a choice of 510mm scalloped or plain discs with individual rubber cord protection for each arm, which has maintenance-free bearings.

Both models at LAMMA had an open channel, soil-to-soil roller, resulting in a weight of 1,400kg and 2,170kg respectively, but this can be exchanged for the firm’s Razor Ring packer, upping the weight to 1,870kg and 2,630kg.

Prices as shown are £6,995 and £9,995 for the 3.0m and 4.0m models.
