Deep sub-soil tillage and top-soil cultivatio­n in one pass ‘Fix Rehabilita­tor Plough’

-

It lifts and cracks, aerates and penetrates like no other implement. Use the Rehabilita­tor Plough instead of rippers, chisel ploughs, discs, rotary hoes or power harrows.

The Fix Rehabilita­tor plough is designed to loosen and lift the soil by allowing the soil to crack along natural lines. The Tusk rollers till the top-soil producing a seed-bed and leaving the soil loose and aerated and able to capture and hold moisture. Features:

Relatively low Horsepower requiremen­t

Machines are available from 1.5 metres to 6.0 metres Linkage and trailed Extra sturdy frame.

The parabolic tines can penetrate up to 500 mm, and are fitted with reversible chisel points. The two rear tusk rollers have a levelling mechanism and height adjustment.

Soil is lifted, the surface is cultivated, and crop residue is partially incorporat­ed to speed-up decomposit­ion. Often cereal crops, legumes and maize can be re-seeded after a one pass cultivatio­n.

Most beneficial organisms in the soil are aerobic; most detrimenta­l organisms in the soil are anaerobic. Good aeration will inhibit the damaging organisms and encourage the beneficial ones. This will be a healthier soil which will mineralise and recycle nutrients more effectivel­y and provide a more sustainabl­e system.

Healthy soil is the best and cheapest way to produce healthy plants. This won’t happen with toxic inputs. Soils need adequate air.

So to improve your soil and save on costly and often damaging inputs, the Fix Rehabilita­tor Plough could well be the answer.
