      Quad-Till   

   5 operations in one pass

  A natural progression from the trailed press and sub-soilers, the Quad Till has been developed to achieve a one pass cultivation system to reduce establishment costs.

  

  Standard features include:

  • 3 rows of  wide spaced V.F.M. tines c/w 250mm wide mixing shares

  • Hydraulic auto reset subsoil legs in a V formation c/w hydraulic in/out of work on the move. 

  • Large flotation transport wheels

  • Eradicator tines behind transport wheels

  • Hydraulic level board

  • 2 rows of 600mm DD rings which can be adjusted for angle and weight.

Before; Quad-Till working after winter wheat, cultivating to a depth of 100mm (4"), subsoiling to 250mm (10") Broadcasting Oilseed Rape at 4.8kg/ha on 31st August '06

 After; That one pass resulted in the above crop of Oilseed Rape - as it appeared on 31st November '06. Has achieved excellent root structure and growth to almost knee height. 

 Options:

  • 2 rows of discs in lieu of 3 rows of tines

  • Front depth wheels for increased control on undulating terrain

#Wheeled tractors may require higher horse power

        These two photographs were taken in late February working over-wintered stubble destined for hemp. The QUAD-TILL was set to cultivate to a depth of 100mm (4") to create a good tilth for seed establishment. Sub-soil legs were set at 280mm (11") deep to alleviate compaction and prepare a good soil structure for root development. The level board was used to grade the surface and the DD rings to consolidate and leave a superb weather proof finish.

        The result - a one man, one pass system that has taken the field from stubble to seedbed ready for the drill.
