any manufacturers make any smaller one pass cultivators similar to the sumo trio that can be handled with smaller Hp tractors was thinking along the lines of a 2metre trio type machine, must be a market for such a thing

I used to use an opico varitilth with a 3m set of knoche discs on the back for about ten years, before upgrading to a 3m weaving subdisc. I could do 5 acres an hour with a jD 6800 (120hp) with the tines about 8” deep. Varitilth points aren’t cheap but overall it was a cheap one pass cultivator and I could use the discs separately if need be. Subdisc is much heavier, but cheaper points suit me better. It does need a bigger tractor to lift it compared to the old combination. I now use 150 hp and achieve 6-7 acres an hour but the legs are in 9-10 inch. Only a single row of discs so they are more of a levelling tool really.

:unsure: some folk must have a different definition of "smaller HP" to me! I struggle to pull either of those separately at any reasonable work rate with anything less than 130HP

Yeah to be fair you’d need at least 150hp.
@DX 3.90 has 200hp on a 4m
