PSW-3200 Tractor Rotavetor

Perfect Tractor Match – 140–200 hp Class

The PSW-3200 Tractor Rotavator is engineered for the most common medium-to-high power tractors in European agriculture – 140 to 200 hp machines such as John Deere 6M series, Fendt 500/700 Vario, New Holland T6/T7, Case IH Maxxum/Puma, Massey Ferguson 6700/7700, Valtra N/T series, or Claas Arion/Axion. With a moderate weight of 1650 kg and perfectly balanced weight distribution, the tractor rotavator places minimal stress on the tractor’s rear axle and lift capacity while delivering a full 3.2 m working width. Operators consistently achieve excellent tillage depth and consistent performance even on 140–160 hp tractors in heavy clay soils, making it the ideal agricultural rotavator for contractors and larger family farms who want maximum productivity without moving up to a 250+ hp machine.

How the PSW-3200 Works & Why It Excels

The PSW-3200 is a heavy-duty rotary tiller for tractor with L-type blades arranged in a helical pattern for smooth operation and reduced power peaks. The rotor is driven directly from the tractor PTO (540 or 1000 rpm compatible), delivering high torque and consistent blade speed. The adjustable rear shield and levelling bar allow precise control of tillage depth and surface finish from the cab. Unlike lighter rotavators that struggle in tough conditions, the PSW-3200’s robust gearbox and reinforced frame handle primary tillage, stubble incorporation, and seedbed preparation in one pass, even in heavy residue or compacted soils. This makes it one of the most reliable soil tillage equipment options in the 3–3.5 m class.

Application Scenarios – From Field Crops to Specialty Farming

Primary uses: primary and secondary tillage, stubble incorporation after cereals, seedbed preparation for maize, sugar beet, potatoes, vegetables, seed production, cover crop incorporation, vineyard and orchard floor management, horticultural bed formation. Additional applications: sports turf renovation, incorporation of organic matter or lime, preparation of grass seed beds, reclamation of set-aside land.

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

420-ha arable farm replaced an older 3 m rotavator with the PSW-3200 on a 165 hp John Deere 6M. Result: 22 % reduction in fuel consumption at the same forward speed, better residue incorporation, and significantly smoother seedbed for sugar beet. Drilling accuracy improved, leading to more even emergence and higher yields.

Real-World Case 2 – Vegetable Grower, Westland Glasshouse Region, Netherlands (2024)

Contractor preparing outdoor vegetable beds used the PSW-3200 on a 155 hp Fendt 314 Vario. The 3.2 m width and precise depth control produced perfect fine tilth for carrot and onion planting. Customer reported reduced weed pressure and easier mechanical hoeing due to superior soil structure.

Real-World Case 3 – Vineyard Floor Management, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany (2024)

Wine estate used the tractor rotavator on a 145 hp New Holland T5 to incorporate cover crops and level the inter-row. The helical blade arrangement and adjustable shield left an exceptionally even surface without ridges, improving water infiltration and reducing erosion on slopes.

Real-World Case 4 – Sports Turf Contractor, Antwerp Region, Belgium (2024)

Contractor renovating football pitches used the PSW-3200 on a 180 hp Case IH Puma. The machine incorporated lime and fertiliser in one pass before overseeding, achieving perfect level and fine tilth. Project completed 3 days ahead of schedule with excellent germination results.

Build Quality That Delivers Long-Term Value

The PSW-3200 features a heavy-duty boron-steel frame, oil-bath gearbox with cooling fins, reinforced side drive with automatic belt tensioner, and bolt-on replaceable blades. The rotor is dynamically balanced and runs in sealed bearings. Units in Brazil regularly exceed 4000–5000 hours with only blade replacement – the same proven durability is now confirmed in European conditions with the first machines already surpassing 2500 hours without issues.
