Watch the second video Walkaround 2 soil loosening options You will be able to loosen soil at all working depths or even just the sub-soil, depending on the Helios model. Loosen without disturbing the soil horizon (Canada) Loosening at all working depths (Hungary) Many agronomic benefits Deep restructuring The Helios provides soil restructuring to 60 cm. It eliminates the results of extreme climate conditions as well as ground compaction resulting from grazing. It allows air and water to circulate again to bring life back into the soil. Living soil is essential to cultivation. Intermediate loosening From 25 to 35 cm deep, it eliminates poor soil preparation due to the same tool being used too often at the same depth (base effect). Plots where tubers are intensively grown can be very uneven in terms of compaction. They are made worse by areas of grubbing-up. The Helios recovers these areas. On the surface At less than 25 cm of depth, the Helios prepares for root establishment. The Michel blade performs this task without disrupting the surface and without pushing fine soil down. On the other hand, the Cracker tine vigorously mixes the surface horizon. Your choice... Mono, Duo or Cracker? Interchangeable single beam The Helios Mono can be equipped with a rotary harrow or drill combination. This saves you time and reduces the number of passes. This means you can perform several tasks in one operation: loosening, seedbed preparation and sowing. No disturbance to the soil horizon Even if you don’t need to combine with a seedbed preparer or a seed drill, the Helios Duo equipped with a Michel blade is the loosener you need. It allows you to open up the sub-soil, enabling roots to find an optimal exploration area without mixing the layers. It keeps organic matter or residues on the surface which provides good support to the soil. Deep loosening The Helios Cracker is the most suitable machine for loosening throughout the entire working depth. Surface disruption is similar to minimum-tillage, which mixes plant residues with the soil. Humification is accelerated. Your soil recaptures nitrogen without using inputs.

Soil loosener Straight tine Cracker Stanchion High strength steel withstands wear and impacts. It holds all the parts together and enables the desired depth to be reached. Thanks to its curved shape, the entire working height can be broken open while limiting the descent of fine soil without disturbing the surface. It creates a ripple effect. Counter-blade The greater the working depth, the greater the wear in the lower layers. The counter-blade protects the stanchion in the areas where it is most needed. Positioned slightly in front of the stanchion, it cuts soil and debris that may be in its way. Tip It makes the tine penetrate and leaves behind a small draining channel. It pulls the tine down and helps it maintain its working position. Its bevel gives it an excellent penetration angle and brings stability. It is also available in carbide steel for deep work. All-terrain safety systems Mono / Duo Safety Cracker Safety Shear bolt With 5 tons shear-off torque and500 mm height clearance, this simple and economical safety device adapts to soils with low rock content. Assembled with steel washers, clean and burr-free shearing is ensured which simplifies extraction. You don’t waste time changing it and it avoids play and wear around the hole. Hydraulic Adjustable and very flexible, hydraulic safety can withstand a 525 kg maximum load. By adjusting the nitrogen compression in the reservoir, you can adapt the tip resistance. Depending on the type of soil you loosen, you can adjust its activation. Hydraulic safety allows the tine to retract when it meets a foreign body. Reinforced hydraulics on semi-mounted equipment As tractor power is higher for semi-mounted models, we offer brake back for safety. Grégoire Besson has gained a long experience and a lot of know-how with ploughs and has designed this system with similar technology. For extremely difficult soils, it has often been copied, but never equalled. Chassis that go places Proven chassis Mono, Duo or Cracker - Helios chassis have been tested in different parts of the world in all types of soil and crops. You can stay focused on your work without worrying if your machine is strong enough. Spacing between tines The Helios chassis offers a large space between the tine rows and between the tines themselves. You can loosen in areas with large volumes of plant residue without any clogging. You save time. Under chassis clearance To make passing over large plant volumes easier, the Helios high undercarriage allows you to work at different depths without experience clogging. You can be confident of being productive with all crop types. Rollers adapted to each finish Twin double roller With its wavy discs, it is drawn along its pass, slicing the surface layer and residues to create openings to improve air circulation and water flow and to break up the largest clods. Square bar roller Aggressive on plant residues, it allows you to create a uniform mulch and accelerate stubble disintegration by maintaining a good level of moisture in the soil. It is lightweight and economical. Double notched disc roller Available on the Helios Mono & Duo, the double notched disc roller slices, slightly levels and brings more lift to the soil. Inspired by disc line design in the Cover range, the double notched disc roller is extremely robust. Toothed double roller Only available on the Helios Cracker, the toothed double roller breaks the clods and mixes the surface layer. Using this roller is an effective stage before preparing a seed bed. Ideal for adherent soils, the interplay of its teeth cleans the rollers. Safe transport & easy storage The Helios overall dimensions allow them to drive on the road smoothly, make tight turns at field entries or pass under a bridge. They can be easily stored in your warehouse. DREAL road traffic approval. Worst-case transport dimensions: Mono 60 Width : 3,50 m. (11,48 ft.) Height : 1,63 m. (5,35 ft.) Duo 60 Width : 3,50 m.
