Salford Group HALO - HSD

HALO HSD MODEL OVERVIEW

FRONT ROW OF SMOOTH 22 INCH CONCAVE BLADES
The HALO HSD’s front row of 22 inch, smooth concave blades maximize ground penetration and residue sizing. The blades are tipped under to keep the machine engaged in hard soil.

Front Row of Blades:
- 22 inch blades
- 5mm smooth concave
- 14 degree blade angle, tipped under 4 degrees

REAR ROW OF NOTCHED BLADES 22 INCH CONCAVE BLADES
The rear row of 22 inch, notched blades continue to size residue and ensure the second row of blades turns continuously in the loose soil created by the front row of blades. The blades are tipped under to keep the machine engaged in hard soil.

Rear Row of Blades:
- 22 inch blades
- 5mm notched concave
- 17 degree blade angle, tipped under 4 degrees

5/8 INCH STEEL COULTER ARM WITH RUBBER COMPRESSION MOUNT
HALO blade mounts are 5/8 inch AR400 steel adds to the toughness and abrasion resistance of the HALO.

The blade and arm are on a rubber torsion mount which give the blade up to 7.5 inches of vertical travel for maximum obstacle protection.

5 BOLT BLADE HUB
HALO’s proprietary five bolt hub is maintenance free, equipped with a double tapered roller bearing and protected by a multi-lip seal designed specifically for Salford.

ADJUSTABLE DIRT SHIELD ON PARALLEL LINKAGE
HALO HSD’s adjustable dirt shield is designed to improve the machine’s field finish. The shield can be set to float and the parallel linkage allows it contour uneven terrain.

The operator is also able to lock the dirt shield in multiple positions to tailor the field finish.

23 INCH CAGE ROLLER FINISHING SYSTEM
HALO HSD comes with a 23 inch cage roller finishing system. The heavy duty roller is designed to size soil clods, condition residue and level the field surface.

CAGE ROLLER BEARING
The 23 inch cage roller is carried by a heavy duty disc style bearing with a wide inner race for proper alignment and maximum durability.

OTICO Wave-Profile FARMFLEX® Rubber Roller
The HALO HSD is now available with an OTICO Wave-Profile FARMFLEX® roller. This OTICO rubber roller’s unique wave design with molded cleats is designed to trap moisture and reduce crusting.

The semi-pneumatic roller is engineered to break up soil clods and gently firm soil improving seed to soil contact when preparing seedbeds with the HALO HSD.

The pliable rubber form flexes as it crosses the ground to help shed soil and residue that may stick to the finishing attachment. The flexible design also acts as obstacle protection to help prevent damage to the roller and roller frame when the unit hits rocks in the field.

HALO FRAME OVERVIEW

NARROW TRANSPORT
HALO uses a forward folding design for narrow transport making it safer and easier to travel, even on narrow, populated roads.

SINGLE POINT HYDRAULIC CONTROLS
HALO uses single point depth control for the machines operating depth, making for fast, easy adjustments to the tillage action.

The rear finishing system also uses hydraulic pressure valves to regulate down pressure. This allows operators to quickly adapt to field conditions.

CONSTANT FLOW HYDRAULIC WING DOWN PRESSURE
HALO’s wings can be run with active down pressure. This keeps the machine operating level from side to side and ensures wings stay engaged in tough conditions.

FORE/AFT HYDRAULIC ADJUSTMENTS WITH NEUTRAL OPERATION
HALO’s fore/aft pitch can be adjusted from the cab and set to float or neutral during operation. HALO’s ability to be ran in neutral allows the machine to run level in a greater variety of field conditions for a superior finish.

The fore/aft hydraulic system is protected by a hydraulic accumulator while running in neutral.

MAIN FRAME PITCH INDICATOR
HALO’s mainframe has large pitch indicator that can be easily seen from the cab.

HEAVY FRAME FOR MULTIPLE GROUND ENGAGING OPTIONS
HALO’s rectangular main frame is 6 inch by 6 inch tubular steel, 3/8 inch thick. All frame members are capped for maximum durability and longevity. The front and rear mainframe bars are designed to carry multiple different tillage modules.

HALO’s tongue is 6 inch by 8 inch on 2 piece frame models, and 6 inch by 10 inch on 3 piece frame models.

COLOUR CODED OPERATOR CONVINCE CENTER
Salford implements feature a color coded operator’s convince center that manages and protects the hydraulic hoses and lighting connection. The operator’s manual is also housed here in a weather proof container.

Hydraulic hose grips are color coded to make for fast, easy connection to the tractor

TONGUE JACK
HALO 2 piece frames use an 8,000 lb manual jack. HALO 3 piece frame models use a hydraulic jack with a manual ball value.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

High Speed and Highly Durable

• High Clearance
  Independently mounted blades allow for excellent soil and residue flow through the machine.
• Excellent obstacle protection
  Independently mounted blades with rubber torsion suspension are capable of up to 7.5 inches of vertical deflection for obstacle protection in rough and rocky conditions.
  Each blade faces rocks and obstacles on their own which lessens the load put on the HALO HSD frame.

Superior Leveling

• HALO uses hydraulic wing down pressure with an accumulator to ensure level operation at high speeds.
• HALO’s blades are tipped under which pulls the machine into the ground, ensuring that the implement stays at the proper operating depth, even in hard ground.

Easy to Operate

• The HALO HSD is simple to set! Single point depth control, hydraulic fore/aft leveling and a single point control for setting pressure on the finishing tool.
• The operator convenience station keeps implement connections protected, organized and at the operator’s finger tips. The color coded hose grips take out the guess work when connecting Salford implements to the tractor.
• The HALO’s narrow forward fold design makes the machine safe and easy to transport.

Low Maintenance Design

• Durable, sealed blade hubs make for much less maintenance on the HALO.
• The HALO has easily accessible grease points for easy maintenance and better machine longevity.
