2.0 Summary
The SUMO Mixidisc is a mounted machine designed for high speed stubble cultivation to quickly
incorporate and mulch large volumes of crop residues and create a micro tilth in the soil for fast
germination of volunteers and weed seeds in one pass
It can also be used for seedbed preparation, straw harrowing or furrow levelling with low power
requirement
Firstly
A double row of 500mm concave discs, mounted on independently suspended arms giving a shock-proof
durable system with quality low maintenance triple sealed taper roller bearings. Double mounting gives
unrivalled performance when working in adverse conditions.
Secondly
The patented Multipacka is uniquely designed to fulfil a number of criteria, comprising, 508mm x 10mm
tube mounted on heavy duty quality bearings fitted with notched cutting/ drive rings to keep turning in
arduous conditions, giving a total diameter of 660mm. The ring shoulders feature a convex shape adjacent
to the barrel, creating consolidation and cracking even on the top of the ridge. Further to this is the ability
to unbolt every individual packer quadrant for replacement without having to use any heat or cutting
equipment. All these features make a packer which presses and firms to a higher quality with a lower
power requirement than any other packer available.
Before using the SUMO Mixidisc it is absolutely necessary that you read this Operators Manual and
Safety Instructions attentively.
Specifications, descriptions and illustrations in this brochure are accurate, as known, at the time of
publication but may be subject to change.

3.0 Safety
This manual contains basic advice which should be observed during setting-up, operation and
maintenance. Therefore, this operating manual must be read by the personnel concerned prior to starting
up, using the machine and be available at all times.
If safety instructions are not complied with, then this can lead to the risk of injury to yourself and others
as well as damage to the environment or the machine. Non-compliance to the safety instructions can also
lead to claims for damages becoming invalid.
3.1 Qualification and Training
Ensure that only reliable, authorized personnel work on or with the machine. Statutory minimum
age limits must be observed.
Employ only trained or instructed staff; the individual responsibilities of the personnel concerning
operation, setting up, maintenance and repair must be clearly established.
Define the machine operators’ responsibilities – also with regard to observing traffic regulations.
The operator must have the authority to refuse any instructions issued by third parties, which
contravene safety.
Persons undergoing training or instruction or taking part in a general training course should not be
allowed to work on or with the machine unless they are under the constant supervision of an
experienced person.
The use of spare parts, accessories and ancillary equipment not supplied and/or not approved by
SUMO could have detrimental effects to the construction of the SUMO machine or on its
functions and hence impair the active and/or passive driving and/or operational safety (accident
prevention).
SUMO shall not be responsible for any damage caused by the use of spare parts, accessories and
ancillary equipment not supplied and/or approved by SUMO.
Conversions of or modifications to the machine may only be carried out after consultation with
SUMO.
Page 5

3.2 General safety
Warning signs and other notices on the machine provide important information for the safe
operation. Observing them will serve your safety.
Before starting work, make yourself familiar with all the equipment and controls as well as their
functions.
The user should wear close-fitting clothing.
Keep the machine and in particular the bearings clean to avoid risk of fire.
Check around the machine before moving off or starting up (watch out for children!). Make sure
you have adequate all-round visibility.
Always match your speed to the local conditions. Avoid sudden turning manoeuvres when driving
uphill or downhill or when travelling across a slope.
Observe the respective regulations when using public roads.
Take into account the wide overhang and/or the sideways force acting on the machine when
turning or negotiating curves.
3.3 Special safety instructions
Take extreme care when hitching up or unhitching machine to/from the tractor.
Never allow persons to stand between the tractor and the machine unless the tractor is secured
against rolling away by means of parking brake and/or wheel chocks.
During transport, secure the packer (using both pins) to prevent shock loading when encountering
road undulations. Ensure stands are raised to their transport position.
It is forbidden to allow persons to ride on the machine at any time. A safe distance should be
maintained from the machine by observers when in work.
Driving, steering and braking characteristics are influenced by mounted machines and ballast
weights. Therefore, ensure adequate steering and braking ability.
If there is a requirement to lift the Sumo Mixidisc, appropriate lifting apparatus must be attached
through the lifting eye in the centre of the machine. The 4m Mixidisc weighs approximately
3220kg.
When making adjustments to the machines care should be taken not to trap any body parts in
moving or pivoting parts.
.
Top Link Pin
Due to the physical nature and weight distribution of the Sumo Mixidisc a category three enclosed ball
top link is highly recommended.
Due to the exaggerated loads experienced during normal working conditions, the top link pin is
considered as a consumable part and should be checked for wear on a regular basis.
Page 6

4.0 Operation and Adjustment
4.1 Operation
The top link should be as short as possible whilst remaining as close to horizontal as is achievable. It is
important to ensure the machine is running level to allow the optimum level of soil disturbance as well as
to prolong the life of the wearing parts.
Bearings should be greased (see 5.0 Maintenance); stands must be in the raised position and all relevant
pins in the correct holes prior to commencing work.
Forward working speed should be governed by the local conditions as well as the finish produced by the
Sumo Mixidisc
4.2 Adjustments
To adjust the disc working depth, the weight must first be taken off the packer arms before the lynch pins
and depth pins are removed. A new depth position can then be selected by replacing the pins in higher or
lower holes. The disc unit slices, mixes and cultivates the top 50 - 100mm of soil.
Page 7

5.0 Maintenance
The packer bearings should be greased with one pump once a week and after washing off.
The disc bearings should be greased until old grease is forced out once a week when in normal use and
after washing off.
The condition of the discs should be regularly monitored in order to maintain the most efficient use of the
machine.
The condition and position of the packer scrapers should also be observed in order to prevent soil
building up on the packer. Ensure the scrapers are not touching the packer though, as this will add rolling
resistance as well as causing premature wear of the packer.
Hydraulic cylinders - Exposed chrome ram rods should also be lightly greased occasionally to prevent
these valuable parts from rusting and causing costly oil leaks.
5.1 Spares
When ordering replacement parts please have your serial number, part numbers (listed in Section 6.0) and
quantities at hand.
5.2 Winter storage
When machines are to be parked up for the winter period, correct storage techniques are an important part
of protecting the machine to ensuring a hassle free season. When the machine has finished work it should
be cleaned down and washed off to remove all traces of soil.
Following washing off, the packer bearings should be greased with one pump and the disc bearings
should be greased until old grease is forced out.
When the machine is parked up a note should be made of what wearing parts require replacing ready for
the next seasons work. The wearing parts can then be ordered in time ready for the next season’s work in
good time to avoid delays when the machine is required earlier than expected!
