Cat III three point swinging hitches allow the machine to be connected to the tractor with ease and prevent heavy stresses being applied to the power harrow and tractor when working on undulating ground as the swinging hitches allow the machine to float whist still being securely attached to the tractor.
25cm spacing between the rotors gives Maschio Power Harrows more rotors than many other Power Harrows on the market today, it also lowers the horsepower requirement and most importantly leaves a finer titlh.
The tine rotors are all positioned at different angles which allow the power harrow to gradually dig into the soil reducing the vibration transmitted to the tractor and reducing peak loads on the driveline resulting in smoother operation and less fuel consumption.
The AQUILA RAPIDO PLUS Power Harrow uses the QUICKFIT tine system which allows the user to replace rotor tines quickly with one turn of the QUICKFIT tool, this minimises downtime and increases safety.
The ON-GRIP tines are ideal for working in hard uncultivated soils with crop residues. Due to the shape of the blades you get excellent mixing of soil, it also leaves a large proportion of the large course soil on the surface preventing the top layer of soil creating a water tight crust.
The ON-GRIP tines can also be reversed to ON-SLIDE to work more like a standard power harrow blade producing a finer tilth on the surface if required.
The image above shows the strength that is built into the Maschio power harrow transmission trough. It has been put through rigours testing with extreme loads to ensure it’s one of the strongest on the market.
The AQUILA RAPIDO PLUS Power Harrow comes with the double skin transmission trough consisting of an inner 6mm steel trough and a 5mm outer skin, resulting in 11mm thickness in total.
The outer skin prevents stones and other objects damaging the inner skin and also gives a huge amount of strength to the main trough, which needs to cope with the power that is transmitted through the drive line and all the stresses and vibrations during work.
The extra long side guards prevent soil spilling from the side of the power harrow and leaving ridges and lines during work. The guards have built in spring dampeners that absorb the collisions from large stones preventing damage.
QUICKPLUS is a bolt on shield system which fits just infront of the rotor as it comes out of the transmission trough, preventing stones and debris colliding with the rotor and gearbox, in turn this helps to push the stones down to the lower cultivated area.
The floating device guarantees a constant working depth on undulating ground and giving the AQUILA RAPIDO PLUS Power Harrow 3% upward movement on each wing. The floating function can be deactivated by simply moving the locking pin from position A to position B. A downward floating facility can be specified as an option.
The rotor splines are pressed into the shaft not machined, resulting in much stronger teeth and a more robust rotor shaft capable of transmitting higher torque.
The Maschio rotor system has a long shaft and reinforced bearings that are spaced as far apart as possible to cope with the twisting force and torque applied to the rotor.
Maschio Power Harrows feature ‘heavy duty’ Labrynth seals that prevent water and soil penetrating the rotor and gearbox, this also prevent oil escaping even after many seasons of use.
The Labrynth seal is specially designed for Maschio Power Harrows and is made from cellular polyurethane, this is the best material to guarantee a perfect seal and also provides excellent durability thanks to its wear and age resistance.
Each rotor has a separate cover which allows the bearings to be checked or changed without the need of completely removing the whole transmission trough cover.

Rear Rollers
Rear Roller Options
There are two options of rear rollers:
Cage Roller - Ø450mm
Works well on medium soil types and dry conditions creating a good seed bed.
Packer Roller - Ø500mm
The toothed Packer Roller works well breaking up any surface clods further and at the same leaving an excellent finish, ready for seeding. This roller also comes standard with tungsten coated scrapers.
Rear Roller Bearing
The long life oversized rear roller support consists of a bearing and roller support all in one unit and is manufactured this way so it has the strength to support the weight when the power harrow is used in combination with a seed drill. (models: DC and above)
The bearing and support has a relatively new greasing system that is situated in a protected section of the roller frame preventing damage from debris.
Tungsten Soil Scrapers
The scrapers are 4mm thick and are tungsten coated as standard, they are attached with a single bolt and giude for quick adjustment.
