IT’S become apparent to many growers their traffic-induced or naturally occurring layers with high soil compaction need attention in the pursuit of productivity and yield.
By deep ripping, roots can penetrate the soil faster and deeper to unlock previously unattainable soil moisture and nutrients, ultimately improving soil health and crop yield.
Techgrow’s HE-VA unit can help you achieve your goals.
“One of the key benefits of the HE-VA unit is the v-profile roller mounted on the back of the machine which is adjusted hydraulically to meet the desired levelling and packing finish,” a Techgrow spokesperson said.
“The roller leaves an unbeatable one-pass finish, crushing clods whilst leaving the majority of the stubble still standing.
“This makes the paddock much easier to drive over and assists in avoiding drift.”
The heavy-duty Danish-built machines have the ability to rip to depths of up to 700mm and come in both linkage and trailed models.
“The linkage machines come in 3m, 4m, and 5m models,” the spokesperson said.
“This range is extremely cost effective and delivers excellent results for farmers lacking the power of a larger tractor.
“The new linkage to trailing hitch conversion option is suitable for some soil types and available for farmers without three-point linkage capability.”
Trailed subsoilers – in 5m, 6m, and 7m models – cater for larger broadacre ripping needs.
“HE-VA deep rippers are fitted with a hydraulic tine break-out connected to two gas accumulating tanks which ensure an automatic backward swing of the tine if it hits unmoveable stones,” the spokesperson said.
“This system performs magnificently as a shock absorber in stony soils, making it suitable to most soil types regardless of how many rocks are present.
“The units come standard with either 120mm (5-inch) or 200mm (8-inch) points with tungsten tip, with other tine options also available.
“Clay lift and inclusion plates are also available, giving the ability to bring clay to the surface from depth and mix the soil effectively.
“We have seen some great results with these options in non-wetting soils.
“The benefits will obviously vary with soil type and any soil chemical restraints need to be respected.”
