Pöttinger TERRADISC HT 12000 – a new era in disc harrows

The Austrian manufacturer Pöttinger continues to set the benchmark in soil cultivation machinery. One of the highlights of the season is the TERRADISC HT 12000 disc harrow, which combines an impressive 12.5 m working width, innovative engineering solutions, and a strong focus on energy efficiency. For farmers, this means not only increased productivity but also significant savings in time and resources during the most critical fieldwork periods.

Purpose and application

The TERRADISC HT 12000 is designed for fast and efficient stubble cultivation after harvest as well as for seedbed preparation. Thanks to its aggressive disc positioning and well-thought-out design, the machine performs reliably even under challenging conditions:

• heavy and dry soils;
• large amounts of crop residues;
• conservation tillage systems, where preserving soil structure and minimizing moisture loss are crucial.

Key design features

TWIN ARM system

At the core of the TERRADISC HT 12000 is the patented TWIN ARM system. Each pair of discs is mounted on a robust clamp with a 380 mm contact length to the frame, ensuring stability even in hard soils at shallow depths.

Working tools

Discs with a 580 mm diameter are available in both smooth and scalloped versions.

The aggressive angle of attack provides thorough soil and residue mixing.

The working depth can be set from 5 cm, allowing shallow cultivation while retaining soil moisture.

Terrain adaptation

The harrow is built on a four-section frame:

• the inner sections operate from –3° to +6°;
• the outer sections – from –4.5° to +4.5°.

This ensures excellent ground contour following. Additional stability is provided by double gauge wheels and a damped roller.

Intelligent control

The TERRADISC HT 12000 is operated through four double-acting hydraulic circuits. The operator can easily adjust:

• working depth;
• section pressure on the soil;
• machine position at headlands;
• side draft correction.

Depth settings are made using swing clips with 9 mm precision. The long drawbar enables a turning angle of up to 85°, which is particularly valuable when maneuvering with large tractors.

Performance and efficiency

With its 12.5 m working width and high operational speed, the TERRADISC HT 12000 can cultivate hundreds of hectares per day. At the same time, optimized draft requirements and uniform load distribution reduce fuel consumption, lowering the overall cost of operations.

Thus, the TERRADISC HT 12000 is more than just a new model – it is a comprehensive solution for large-scale farms seeking efficiency, quality, and durability.

Reliability and service

As always, Pöttinger emphasizes ease of maintenance: lubrication points and adjustment elements are conveniently accessible. This not only improves operational reliability but also minimizes downtime.
