More space between the disc rows and the option of 720mm discs are central to Grégoire Besson’s Occitan Grand T60, which is designed to work down to 18cm.
The development of the Occitan T60 combines a longer chassis with larger-diameter discs, with the emphasis on handling crop residues and loosening and mixing soil at greater depth.
The Grand T60 chassis is 30cm longer than that of the standard machine. Disc-row spacing increases from 1,100mm to 1,350mm, and the gap between the second row and the carriage extends from 1,385mm to 1,435mm.
Grégoire Besson says the additional clearance helps material pass through the machine where crop residues are present in large volumes, including in difficult conditions. Clearance is now equivalent to that of the three-part semi-mounted Occitan T70.
The revised layout allows 720mm discs to be fitted for working depths of up to 18cm. Their pronounced curved profile is intended to loosen the soil and mix it with crop residues.
Depth control and soil finish
Each disc arm has an integrated spring-loaded safety mechanism, a feature shared across the Occitan range. According to the manufacturer, this provides protection against obstacles while helping keep working depth consistent.
Roller choice allows the machine to be configured for different soil types and finishing priorities, whether reconsolidation, crumbling or levelling.
The Grand T60 forms part of an Occitan range that includes mounted and semi-mounted machines for different tractor power ratings.
