MIXMASTER

Cultivation General


"The end result of incorporation must be to produce a friable, well mixed level and firm structure to facilitate rapid volunteer germination and a good entry point for the drill. The sub-strata should be torn in areas to minimise the formation or cultivation pans and the surface trash should be minimised to reduce hair-pinning with disk drills or blockages with other drill type."

Full crop residues require multi-tine machines with good inter-row clearance to avoid blockages. The more boil, the more elements, the more twist imparted to the soil the more homogenous the mix. By definition, machines of this nature are long, which can result in poor depth control on undulating ground.

A machine which can move the whole soil profile at shallow depth whilst maximising residue burial is the ideal. It is with this ideal in mind that we produced the Mixmaster.

 

1 A perfect twenty centimetre tine pattern, fitted with twisted points works in conjunction with the rear disks.
2 The points throw the soil out and the disks compensate by throwing the soil in.
3 The disk spacing intermeshes the tine spacing to ensure that the whole work zone is moved in one pass. The number of elements and their effect, maximise trash burial.
4 A following leaf tine leveller finishes the job.
5 In work the tine gangs are suspended between three wheels at the front and two at the rear. The tine frame is free to follow contours left and right and back to front. Even under severely undulating ground the tines keep a constant depth.
6 The disk gangs again are free to oscillate up and down and left to right. Not only removing tine ridges but increasing the mix.
 
FEATURES
Heavy duty construction with large, locked pins, replaceable bushings on all pivots, axle boxes for depth control and reduced strain on axle pivots. Front depth control ram working in conjunction with the unique triple wheel, contour following unit ensures constant depth. Autolock catches on both wheel carriage and wings minimise down time associated with moving fields but automatically disable during field work.
