The CD1000 is available in working widths from 3m to 4m, the folding version from 4m to 6m and is equipped with a disc arm which carries a row of heat-treated, 520mm x 5mm thick discs.

The CD 2000 series is available in rigid and foldable frame versions. Available in working widths of 4m to 5m, the semi-mounted CD2000T can be linked to the lifting arms of the tractor.
