1. FOREWORD

Multiva farming machinery is manufactured in Finland. The modern production technology, excellent
raw materials, careful production and excellent finishing guarantee a high-class product.
Thank you for selecting a high-quality Multiva disc cultivator. We hope that the product you selected

important for flawless machine operation and the validity of the warranty.
All instructions, warnings and prohibitions regarding the use of the machine must always be observed.
They have been issued to ensure the safety of the user and durability of the machine.

This operation and maintenance manual covers the following disc cultivator models:

DiscMaster 300, 350 and 400 starting from serial number 02265510

1.1. Purpose of use

The Multiva disc cultivator is intended for shallow primary tillage (stubble cultivation) in the autumn or
spring, the main purpose of which is to loosen and aerate the soil, bury plant residue and prepare the
soil for cultivation. The disc cultivator can also be used for seedbed preparation. Use of the disc
cultivator for any other purpose is prohibited! Stubble cultivation performed with the disc cultivator
buries plant residue under the surface layer of the soil and compresses the surface of the field. The
machine is particularly well-suited to stubble cultivation, thanks to its excellent efficiency in burying
plant residue and its adjustable working depth.

The Multiva cultivators are equipped with thick 5 mm conical discs that can penetrate hard soil
extremely well. To prevent breakage due to rocks and other obstacles, the discs have been fitted with
rubber suspension mechanisms. The weight of the cultivator (adjustable with additional weight), its
open frame structure and the dense row of roller plates are also essential in achieving an even result.
