T240 Floating Pull Series
Floating Pull Folding Wing Tilthers
The Gyral T240 Series range of tilthers offers the flexibility through a unique floating pull mechanism. The system combines a specific wheel placement design with a intriguing floating pull mechanism. This system ensures security for transport and flexibility in the working position. The fore and aft wheel position ensures maximum ground following for accurate planting depth control.
The main lower pivot pin controls the pull and tows the cultivator in the working mode. The robust boomerang shaped pull bracket allows for a large amount of vertical pull movement independent of the cultivator. Hydraulic cylinders securely lock the pull to control the cultivator in the folded position for maximum safety.
Our series T240 range of cultivators are similarly configured as the T200 ranges with 470mm (18.5") under frame clearance. Relatively narrow tyne spacing and smaller points produce an ideal tilth and leaves the soil in excellent condition. Our persistence in maintaining these specifications has been vindicated by the machines' performance in the field.
Tyne Design:
The Gyral Tyne has a reputation of "being able to dig". Our tyne development started in the early 1960's in clay based soils. The latest tyne designs show's the benefit of this earlier work.
There are 3 options with the T200 Series Cultivators:
- 25mm Square Tyne - 145lbf break-out.
- 30mm Round Solid Tyne - 180lbf break-out.
- 25mm Square Adjustable Straight Tyne - 145lbf or 180lbf break-out.
The adjustable tyne option is available for planting wider rows or to sow behind wheel tracks.
All tynes have replaceable harden pivot pins and bushes that will ensure long life of all tyne components.
Compact Frame:
The range includes 3 and 5 section models to give the smallest frame sections on the market to optimise ground following across the width of the machine. The back beam of the tilther is uncluttered to allow press wheels and harrows to be easily fixed as required.
Folding Mechanism:
The T240 Series is hydraulically folded which allows ease of transport from paddock to paddock. Its folding mechanism uses a wing hinge design that allows for a high degree of flexibility in following the land contour.
All models 12.00m (39'4") and over are fitted with twin folding cylinders on the main frame. The stable controlled fold mechanism is one of the many features of this T240 Series.
In the folded position a second hardened pin and roller comes into play. The second roller runs up the face of the hinge slide to secure the wing for safe transport. Hydraulic cylinders securely lock the pull to control the cultivator in the folded position for maximum safety.
In the working position the T240 Series utilises the proven performance of the slide hinge mechanism developed and proven by Gyral's older and successful TC and T430 Series.
Available in Single and Double Fold configuration depending on width of machine.
Pull Versatility:
The pull yoke design features a sturdy seeder trailer attachment. The pull arms pivot on heavy duty vertical pins attached to the main frame. Both our "within the pull" seeder models easily connect into the pull assembly.
A shorter pull option is available on tilthers up to 10.668m (35'0") wide. Our mounted seeder models are designed to attach to this assembly.
A rear tow pull attachment is available to connect both our Rear Trailing Seeder models to the tilther.
Ground Clearance:
The depth wheels are located centrally within the frame. This feature enables the cultivating depth to be easily controlled and allows the machine to closely follow the contour.
A high lift action gives easy access to the machine for maintenance and good clearance for moving around the farm. Independent rephasing hydraulic cylinders ensure that the tilther lifts evenly across its width.
