Ploughs, harrows and cultivation

Kverneland mounted reversible ploughs Kverneland mounted reversible ploughs• Fully automated non-stop Auto-Reset system (on 150S and E models) or shear-bolt leg protection (on 150B and L models)
• Complete plough is heat treated and frames are heat treated by induction twice to make it stronger but not heavier
• All plough bodies can be fitted with Knock-on points
• Reduced lift requirements and easy to pull
• Variomat - Vari-width system for 'on the move' ploughing width adjustments (EG, EO, LB and LO only)
Kverneland stubble cultivators Kverneland stubble cultivators• Tines designed to guarantee penetration even in extreme conditions
• Knock-on system for shares
• Flexible, maintenance-free tines, for cracking and crumbling
• 2-bar frame on CLC Evo to match with low tractor power and 3 bar frame on CLC Pro and CLC Pro Classic for optimum mixing and blockage free operation
Claydon straw harrows Claydon straw harrowsClaydon straw harrows create a micro tilth in the top 30mm of soil and use the retained moisture for a fast, even germination of weeds. Claydon straw harrows rake out and destroy weeds at the cotyledon stage, removing a food source for slugs. They also reduce slug populations by breaking up their nests and drying out their eggs by mixing up and exposing damp chaff and lying straw to sunlight.

At speeds of up to 25 km/hr, Claydon straw harrows are an effective straw and stubble management tool. They shatter straw, breaking it up for faster decomposition, and can be used before or after cultivations to level soil and create a fine tilth.
SUMO Trio SUMO TrioThe Tio range from SUMO enable one-pass stubble cultivation.
The ultra-low draught subsoiler legs are mounted in a staggered pattern on a heavy duty toolbar. Adjustable to a maximum depth of 400mm via pins featuring a carbide tipped concord point.
The double row of 500mm concave discs are mounted in pairs on independently suspended arms on a fully removeable frame.
The removeable disc unit allows the Trio to be used as a subsoiler with low surface distrubances, ideal for sowing oilseed rape in one pass.
The patented Multipacka, featuring 509 x 10mm barrel with shouldered rings and drive lugs, prodivdes a total diameter of 760mm.
HE-VA Combi disc HE-VA Combi discSubsoil, surface cultivate and incorporate crop residues all in one pass.

Total cultivation in one pass - lift the tines or discs out of work to subsoil or disc only. A true multi-purpose implement, the Combi Disc can also be combined with shattaboards for secondary seedbed preparation.
Low draft staggered subsoiling tines reduce HP requirement, 2 rows of opposing sabre discs mix and cultivate the soil and residues, while the hydraulic tine and disc depth control setting allows adjustment from the tractor seat and the pressed steel V profile roller offers optimum reconsolidation.
2.5m-4m trailed machines available to suit 150-350HP. More details here
HE-VA Disc roller contour HE-VA Disc roller contourHE-VA Disc Roller Contour is the ideal multipurpose cultivator for any farm.

The new and improved Disc Roller Contour now follows the ground contours even better allowing improved control of cultivation depth It enables farmers to be even more precise when cultivating for shallow stale seedbeds to control blackgrass. Working widths have also been altered to fit in with guidance systems. More details here

SUMO DTS SUMO DTSThe Deep Tillage Seeder (DTS) drill is based on a concept known as 'strip till drilling', a method of only loosening and preparing a band of soil where the seed is to be placed and leaving the soil in between undisturbed, and therefore not working ground unnecessarily.

There are many advantages to this process; it is quick, large areas can be drilled in one pass, soil structure improves (which means better drainage, less erosion and general well being of the soil) and in most cases, the cost and time savings are huge. The DTS relieves compaction below the seedings and provides a loose friable environment for excellent germination.
Sky EasyDrill Sky EasyDrillAt the start of 2013 Sky Agriculture was born as a specialist company to sell, support and develop trailed drills manufactured by Sulky including the EasyDrill.

The EasyDrill is one of very few direct drills that can truly be advocated as a direct, a mintill, a grassland and a cover crop drill. Furthermore on well consolidated ploughing it can also be used in conventional systems. It's low disturbance disc coulter and press wheel not only ensure minimal weed seed germination, they also keep HP requirement to a minimum.

A 6m EasyDrill typically takes 180hp to pull which reduces fuel consumption, tractor weight and therefore damage to the soil structure when drilling in damp conditions. More details here
Sky MaxiDrill Sky MaxiDrillThe Sky MaxiDrill is designed as a high speed, trailed, minimum tillage drill - but works equally as well on ploughed and prepared seedbeds and also as a direct drill, in certain conditions.

The MaxiDrill copes extremely well in wet, sticky and trashy conditions, enabling drilling in heavy residue seedbeds and late into the season.

Available in 3m, 4m and 6m models either with, or without, fertiliser. More details here

Potato equipment

Grimme GB330 planter Grimme GB330 planterThe GB 330 is especially designed for 3-row planting into beds. Compared to the 2-row bed method, it is possible to plant more potatoes on the same area and to distribute them more evenly. The result is a more even growth of the tubers and thus an increased quota of marketable crops.

The Flow-Board is connected with the furrow openers and does assure a constant covering of the tuber. Important settings are easily done via the operator terminal.
Grimme Separators - CS150/170 Grimme Separators - CS150/170An effective separation is the basis for the growing of high quality potatoes on stony and cloddy fields.
The various combinations of stars and main webs with the CS 150/170 give the right solution for the individual grower.

The patented RotaPower increases the sieving output by 25% compared to traditional systems. The rotor crumbles the compacted soil and prepares it for an increased sieving. Wear and tear of the following star rollers and main webs is significantly reduced.
Grimme trailed harvesters GT170M & GT170S Grimme trailed harvesters GT170M & GT170SThe variable and good visible frame constructions of the two machine models GT 170 M and GT 170 S, combined with four different separators, customise the machine to your individual requirements.

The innovative drive concept with several V-belt drives, in lieu of chain drives, reduces wearing and maintenance costs. Another advantage is the hydraulic ridge relief or Terra Control depth control option.

Gentle and extremely versatile the MultiSep and/or the double MultiSep work well in all conditions with various segment rollers to suit the crop and the conditions. Active side panels as well as the length and flexibility of the cart elevator ensure a smooth and gentle discharge of the crop even into deep trailers.
Grimme self-propelled Varitron 200 series Grimme self-propelled Varitron 200 seriesThe self-propelled harvester VARITRON 200 with cart elevator has been developed for customers who want to unload directly on a trailer.

The various options of different separators (MultiSep, Roller Separator, fine haulm elevator), combined with different intake units, allows you to customise the machine to the varying requirements for potato or other root crop harvest. Ground protective rubber tracks allow good harvesting even in wet fields.

With good visibility the driver has a good view onto the intake unit and main webs from the comfortable cab and the simple and innovative touch screen terminal provides the operator with extensive monitoring and control possibilities.
