PSW-3200 A Tractor Rotavetor

Tractor Compatibility & Power Requirements

The PSW-3200 A Tractor Rotavator is engineered for the 140–200 hp tractor class that dominates European arable farming – machines such as John Deere 6R 140–175, Fendt 300/500 Vario, New Holland T6/T7, Case IH Maxxum, Massey Ferguson 6700/7700, Valtra N/T series, or Claas Arion 500/600. The gear-drive system with oil-bath lubrication ensures reliable power transmission at 1000 rpm PTO without the need for hydraulic remotes (fixed version). The balanced weight distribution and moderate 1665 kg mass (for 3.2 m version) place minimal stress on the tractor's rear axle and lift capacity while delivering full tillage performance even on 140–150 hp tractors in medium soils. Many customers successfully run the 3.6 m version on 180–190 hp tractors with excellent results.

Design Features & Soil Working Performance

The PSW-3200 A is a heavy-duty tractor mounted rotavator with C-shaped or L-shaped blades (customer choice) mounted on a robust rotor that turns at optimal speed for thorough soil incorporation. The gear drive system provides superior reliability and lower maintenance compared to chain-drive competitors. The adjustable rear shield and levelling bar leave a perfectly level, finely tilled surface ready for seeding in one pass. Working depth is easily controlled by the tractor's three-point linkage and rear roller (optional). Available in four widths – 3.0, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.6 m – the PSW-3200 A offers the perfect size for any farm scale, making it one of the most versatile agricultural rotavators on the market.

Applications & Benefits

Primary uses: primary and secondary tillage, seedbed preparation for cereals, maize, potatoes, vegetables, sugar beet, oilseed rape; incorporation of crop residues, manure, cover crops, and green manures; stubble cultivation after harvest; preparation of pasture for reseeding. The rotavator's ability to produce a fine, level tilth in one pass makes it particularly valuable in minimum-tillage and direct-drill systems where surface finish is critical for drill performance.

Real-World Case 1 – Arable Farm, Groningen, Netherlands (2024)

350-ha arable farm running John Deere 6R 150 switched to the PSW-3200 A 3.4 m after years with a lighter competitor. Result: reduced fuel consumption by 12 %, achieved perfect seedbed in one pass even in heavy clay, and improved wheat emergence uniformity. The gear drive proved completely reliable through the entire season.

Real-World Case 2 – Vegetable Grower, Noord-Brabant, Netherlands (2024)

Vegetable producer preparing beds for carrots and onions used the 3.2 m version on a 160 hp Massey Ferguson 7700 S. The rotavator created an exceptionally fine tilth that allowed precise mechanical planting and reduced weed pressure. Customer reported the best carrot emergence they had seen in 15 years.

Real-World Case 3 – Sugar Beet Contractor, Zeeland, Netherlands (2024)

Contractor preparing 800 ha of sugar beet land used the 3.6 m PSW-3200 A on a 195 hp Fendt 720. The machine incorporated thick oilseed rape stubble perfectly at 4 km/h, leaving an ideal seedbed that resulted in even beet establishment and higher yields across all contracts.
