  • Matériel de plantation et de semis
  • Matériel agricole
CONT

Dans les instruments à disques, les pièces travaillantes: soc, versoir, et coutre, sont remplacés par une pièce unique appelée d'ailleurs improprement disque. Dans les terrains rocheux, le disque présente un gros avantage. Avec les socs il arrive fréquemment que ceux-ci buttent et que l'on détériore l'instrument. Avec le disque qui roule sur la roche sans s'enfoncer et passe au-dessus de l'obstacle, ce défaut disparaît.
