Normandie Speed Tiller

The Normandie Speed Tiller is a versatile machine for fast stubble cultivation that evenly distributes crop residues and organic matter in the surface layer and aerates the soil.

The combined action of the discs and rollers provide excellent soil structuring improving water infiltration and retention capacity, and erosion control.

Key Features

Fast Stubble Tillage & Soil Structuring

The Normandie Speed Tiller offers cultivation from 2 to 12cm deep with sowing under plant cover. It has a reinforced structure for high speeds with simplified and economical maintenance and low wear parts.

Normandie T70 Discs

Produce different finishes according to soil, working conditions and attachments.

The Normandie Speed Tiller has a large selection of discs to suit your soil preparation requirements. Smaller notched discs are available for shallow stubble ploughing, and larger discs with either small or large notches can be optioned for deeper work or when there is a lot of plant residue.

Normandie T80 Roller

The Normandie has a selection of rollers to ensure soil cover and soil preparation with minimal passes.

  • Impak Roller – Row of roller wheels 540 mm diameter to produce an excellent finish in wet conditions and even ground consolidation. The scrapers further prevent soil build up between the roller wheel arches.
  • Emopak V Roller – Flanged, contoured and notched roller wheels for dry, or stony cloddy soils. Provides good consolidation with excellent in-line finishing, and is well suited for self-seeding.
  • Square Bar Roller – to create a uniform mulch and accelerate stubble disintegration whilst maintaining a good level of moisture in the soil.

Normandie Transport Dimensions

Normandie disc harrows have been designed to limit their overall size, particularly the working width when it comes to transport and storage of the machine.

Normandie T70 Stabilisation Wheels Tyres

The Normandie has two stabilisation wheels at the front of the machine to ensure the equipment is correctly stabilised and a uniform work over the entire width. In addition, these wheels are swivel mounted for working on curves.

The Normandie Speed Tiller has premium tyres for maximum stability on road and in headlands, with low pressure technology to reduce soil compaction.

The Normandie is equipped with hydraulic roller adjustments using master-slave cylinder technology to accurately adjust the working depth from the tractor cab.

An optional hydraulic drawbar cylinder is also available to ensure that equipment lifting is always parallel to the ground.

Maintenance costs are extremely low on the Normandie range. Working parts do not need any maintenance. 

The sealing and lubrication technology of the bearings ensures maximum service life to reduce operational mechanisation costs. 

The Normandie range of equipment is designed to work at high speeds to ensure a higher work rate that is more profitable. 

Normandie T80 Speed Tiller

Grégoire Besson have developed a pressure regulating system in the folding and drawbar cylinder circuit for good field contour following across the width of the equipment.

Operating pressures can be adjusted so that the lateral supports and the drawbar articulation can move up or down depending on the soil conditions. This means that the lateral supports remain flexible and work is uniform across the entire width. 

Exclusive Feature

Optimised Disc Angling

Perfect Angle for Attack, Entry & Contouring

On all Normandie models, the angle of attack is 13.3 degrees. This allows the stubble harrow to attack residues or vegetation effectively. The angle was not chosen randomly, it is the result of a long series of tests conducted by Grégoire Besson, and was found to be the best trade-off between efficiency and fuel consumption. The 5.2 degrees entry combined with the curve of the disc, further enables the entire working surface to be sliced at very shallow depths.

Exclusive Feature

Maintenance-free Elastomer Overload Protection

Exclusive to Grégoire Besson, elastomer packing cushions and absorbs shocks to the disc arms for a guaranteed long service life. 

The reinforced disc arms are permanently fixed with 6 bolts and uniquely shaped to avoid the accumulation of soil, and maintain rigidity even at higher speeds.
