Why Strip Till?

With the increasing drive towards regenerative agriculture, strip tilling is a perfect part of this system. As a result of leaving residue on the surface between rows, soil temperature can actually be increased though this acting as insulation. Consequently this can aid in crop germination.

A further benefit of strip tilling can be found on light, blowing soils. By leaving residue from the previous crop on the surface, both wind erosion and also erosion by run off in wet periods can be reduced.

Cultivator elements

A nitrogen filled pressure cylinder is fitted to ensure that a constant working depth is maintained. Loosening is carried out by a cultivator shank capable of working at depths of 10-20cm. This is fitted between two retaining discs, these follow behind a front opening disc. In addition a pair of front residue finger wheels is also present. Behind the leg is a pair of cast press wheels to help reconsolidate the soil. At the very rear a cast cage roller completes the process and as a result leaves the soil ready for drilling or planting into.

Row markers can be fitted to the toolbar. This ensures accuracy where GPS systems are not in use.
