Key features

4m LDL — What sets it apart

Central Hydraulic Folding Design
1

Central Hydraulic Folding Design

Reduces overall width for road transport while maintaining a robust 4m working width in the field. Ideal for contractors or multi-field operations requiring regular road travel between sites.

Effective Low-Disturbance Compaction Relief
2

Effective Low-Disturbance Compaction Relief

Designed to tackle shallow to medium compaction (6"–12") with minimal surface disruption, ideal for Min-Till and Direct Drilling operations. Low disturbance legs at 0.5m spacing with 300mm maximum working depth.

Seeder Integration Ready
3

Seeder Integration Ready

Optional mounting brackets, stairway platform, and outlet pipes enable one-pass subsoiling and seeding efficiency. Compatible with a range of packers for a level, weather-resistant finish.

Hydraulic Front Cutting Discs
4

Hydraulic Front Cutting Discs

Hydraulically controlled front cutting discs cut cleanly through surface trash and residue ahead of the tines, helping to minimise surface disturbance and maintain low-disturbance working.

Consolidated Seedbed Preparation
5

Consolidated Seedbed Preparation

Compatible with a range of packer roller options to produce a level, consolidated finish directly ahead of drilling — reducing passes and protecting soil structure.

Road-Ready Transport
6

Road-Ready Transport

Road lighting kit fitted as standard, ensuring the machine is fully compliant and ready for road travel between fields without additional preparation.

Available Configurations

Three roller types.
One system.

Every Grange packer roller is interchangeable on the same toolbar frame. Choose the profile that suits your soil type, crop, and conditions — or run all three across your rotation.

01

Tooth Packer
Roller

Aggressive consolidation and excellent clod-breaking action create a fine, crumbly soil structure, ideal for heavy soils and challenging seedbed conditions. The self-propelling action of the teeth helps reduce the power required to pull the machine, improving fuel efficiency.

Heavy soilsClod breakingFirm consolidation
02

Shoulder Press
Roller

Delivers firm, even consolidation across the full working width, breaking down clods and encouraging capillary action to improve moisture movement through the soil. Creates a consistent, level seedbed for precision drilling and reliable crop establishment.

Even finishPrecision drillingLevel seedbedWeather-resistant profile
03

Güttler
Roller

Star-shaped profile for superior soil-to-seed contact and moisture retention. The common choice for OSR and small-seed establishment.
