SD II 700
The SD II injector has been developed specifically for the optimal injection of slurry using disc harrow techniques. So it is not just a disc harrow for soil tillage, which has been fitted with slurry equipment.
Injection of slurry into stubble with much plant material on the surface, such as from maize or rape, challenges the construction and technique of the injector. SD II has been made to optimize the construction and functionality of a slurry injector for this type of work. The SD II injector is available in 5, 6 and 7 m widths.
The SD II injector also has the advantage that the slurry is placed directly into the soil and is not flung around with the other material. The injector can therefore work with relatively dry material and stays clean and dry. This minimizes problems with moisture penetrating into bearings and linkages, increasing the lifespan of the machinery.

The hydraulics of the SD injector enables rapid changes between working position and transport position, resulting in increased capacity. The hydraulic cylinders are fitted with a hydraulic damper which ensures smooth and balanced movements. There is also an integrated overload function that allows individual implement sections to swerve when passing larger obstacles or driving over large stones, for example. If one of the sections swerves, it will automatically return to the original position after passing the obstacle. This protects the injector and extends its lifespan.
The notched 510 mm discs work aggressively into the soil even under difficult conditions. The shape of the disc allows it to work through large amounts of plant material during slurry injection. Because slurry injection and soil tillage are performed in the one operation, the number of drives across the field can be reduced and therefore also the total cost of field operations.
All the discs are individually mounted on the frame with flexible rubber elements. This means that the equipment stays level with the soil surface, since each disc can follow the contours, and that wheel tracks and other depressions can also be treated. An uneven soil surface will be uniformly treated. The flexibility of the rubber elements not only gives a good adjustment to soil contours, but also reduces stress loads when driving on stony ground where discs are able to swerve at contact with large stones. The individual mounting of the discs also means that large amounts of plant material can pass through the machine.
The SD disc harrow injector from SAMSON AGRO is fitted with a packer roller with a 630 mm diameter. The large diameter of the roller gives effective compaction and ensures maximum carrying capacity. A large roller with a good carrying capacity gives a precise control of the working depth, which can be adjusted to between 3 and 12 cm. The diameter also means that less power is needed to pull the implement.
For slurry injection practices, the packer roller is often the preferred choice since the risk of building up a ‘bow wave’ of soil is minimised.
Several new types of packer rollers are being designed for the new SD injector, giving a range of available options in the future.
