The SOFTER range is very VERSATILE and can handle a wide variety of working conditions. It is very SIMPLE to setup and adjust so you can spend more time working and less time scratching you head whilst trying to work out how to adjust disc angles & roller positions. The SOFTER is built from extremely high quality “eXTRA STEEL Line” steel which has three times higher strength and high flexibility of construction compared to a standard steel components & it also uses zero maintenance Agri-Hubs and long life rubber disc arm mounts so you know it is RELIABLE.
FARMET – The New Force In Australian Tillage!
Features
- 510mm Scalloped Disc blades standard (560mm optional)
- Two rows of Discs with 750mm between rows that allows excellent trash flow
- 240mm Disc spacing that offers excellent full-width cut out of soil & plant residue
- Working Widths of 2.5m to 6m with both rigid and folding frame models
- Working Depths of 35mm to 120mm with very simple depth adjustment
- 250kg Breakout through Rubber Torsion Mounted Arm for Disc Protection

Fitted standard with either a Category 2 / 3 or straight Category 3 hitch
Frame is made from eXtra STEEL line steel which is three times stronger than standard steel & lighter too!
A completely forged arm allows for a more aggressive disc angle, more strength and less diameter than a standard style arm.
This means better trash flow, a better cut out of weeds and less downtime.
Simple to adjust depth settings on the hydraulic lift cylinders that makes operating easy. Quick to adjust, flip over style ram stops are going to be your new next best friend!
Disks with the diameter of 510 mm (optional 560mm) are located in two rows will undercut the soil. Working depth is 3.5 – 12 cm
Special Side Deflector Plates are fitted to help guide soil that is thrown by the outside disc to within the width of the machine. This helps give a consistent level finish
