Multipress Tine Cultivator
Bridge the gap from plough to true min-tillage.
The tool of choice to bridge the gap from plough to true minimum tillage. This tine cultivator is designed to till, level, and press on a variety of conditions before the drill.
Heavy-duty Spring-loaded tines to allow for either a full width under-cut and mix or zonal work, depending on which points are fitted. Farming in this way is proven to lower input costs, create a soil environment well-suited to strong yields, and protects the environment from carbon loss.
The Mixidisc / S is the ideal solution to create a shallow growing environment and the creation of a stale seedbed. This machine is also just as at home levelling down ploughing.
Staggered rows of spring-loaded tines offer good mixing of crop residues, while breaking up compaction and aer- ating in stubble fields. The 310mm wide points create fissures and pores for water retention, further improving seed germination and root development. Narrower chisel points can be used to work in ploughing to break down clods, compaction and smear created by the plough.
A row of hydraulically adjustable levelling paddles allows a small amount of soil to be carried with the machine. These enable the machine to fill in and level furrows to create a seedbed. The paddles can be lifted out of work completely to allow trash to flow through when working on stubbles.
The patented Multipacka shoulders create a trough in which surface water can move into and also help drive the packer eliminating smears on the soil surface. The design increases soil’s resistance to wind and water erosion as the finish reduces the amount of soil particles that are carried away by the wind. It was specifically developed to reduce soil moisture loss and co2 produced in tillage work.

Our SDOs are a bolt-on seed coulter unit which, when coupled with a seed distribution unit, such as a Stocks Seeder, enables a regular cultivator to become a true one-pass crop establishment tool. For more information turn to pages 55-56.
