- Optional Low Disturbance conversion feature whereby the discs can easily be removed and the points swtiched for narrow stealth versions
- Lights and park stands as standard
- Disc unit can be removed
- Double row of 500mm concave discs mounted in pairs to prevent disc stalling
- Tungsten-tipped points make for significantly reduced downtime
The benchmark single-pass combination cultivator which cultivates the full soil profile but resists the tendency to allow the heavier "sour" soils to rise to the surface and infiltrate the healthy top soil.
Versatile, one-pass, cultivator with four elements that can be fine-tuned to adapt to a variety of conditions.
- Proven Mulitpacka which leaves the surface level and evenly consolidated across the full width
- Each element of the Quatro is adjustable, allowing the user to fine-tune the machine to suit local conditions
- Tungsten-tipped points make for significantly reduced downtime
- Brakes and lights as standard and the heavy duty chassis allows for seed hopper mounting and optional rear drawbar
- Each element of the Quatro is adjustable, allowing the user to fine-tune the machine to suit local conditions
A complete soil working tool which works the full soil profile and leaves a weather-proof seedbed ready for the drill

The benchmark single-pass combination cultivator which cultivates the full soil profile but resists the tendency to allow the heavier "sour" soils to rise to the surface and infiltrate the healthy top soil.
High-speed and versatile cultivator which combines surface cultivation and loosening to a depth with even levelling and consolidation, all in one pass.
- Optional packer rollers, each providing different qualities dependant on exact application. Consolidation and moisture preservation is key across the range
- Quick change point auto-reset
- Semi-mount linkage, brakes and lights as standard
- Hydraulic folding
The Multipress is a versatile machine for tilling, levelling and pressing on a wide variety of conditions
- Brakes and lights as standard
- Optional rear drawbar
- Three staggered rows of spring-loaded tines allow for either a full width under-cut and mix or zonal work (depending on which points are fitted)
- A row of sprung levelling paddles designed to carry soil, evening out the peaks and troughs. Proven Mulitpacka which leaves the surface level and evenly consolidated across the full width
High-speed multipurpose cultivator for tilling, levelling and incorporating large volumes of crop residue, in one pass.
- Proven Mulitpacka which leaves the surface level and evenly consolidated across the full width
- The suspended design of the discs provides accurate contour following and depth control
- Brakes and lights as standard and there's an optional rear drawbar available
- Hydraulic folding
High-speed straw rake used for creating a stale seed bed. An essential machine for effective use of minimum tilling and direct drilling
- Can be operated with either 75mm tine spacings or 150mm by hydraulically removing every other row of tines. Useful for higher volumes of harvest residue
- Organic matter (e.g. chopped straw) aids to soil health and ensuring an even distribution of this with the Strake will accelerate the decomposition and provide consistent benefits across the field
- Reduces slug population by mixing crop residue with soil
- Even distribution of harvest residue
- Tines are appropriately spaced to spread crop residues which in turn prevents the creation of damp mats of straw which can be a haven for slug populations
- Perfect as a high speed ultra-shallow cultivator in a "chitting" application or can be used simply to distribute poorly chopped and spread straw from the combine
- Hydraulically adjustable tine angle
The Sumo Low Disturbance Subsoiler (LDS) alleviates compaction with minimal surface disturbance
- When used in conjunction with the Sumoseeder, becomes the ideal tool for oilseed rape crop establishment due to the zonal strip-till design and 500mm row spacings
- Two loosening leg options
- Can be seen as a useful addition to a "no-till" planting regime, where seasonal compaction can become a problem
- Combine with the Sumoseeder for cost effective, fuel-saving sowing of oilseed rape directly into stubble
Improves and revitalises compacted grassland that is suffering from the effects of continual heavy machinery, livestock and rainfall.
- Low horsepower requirement
- Low draught auto-reset legs
- Narrow wing points for low surface disturbance
Heavy-duty, robust machine which enables the loosening and consolidation of compact soil conditions.
- Retains soil moisture & reduces evaporation
- Retains crop residue on or near soil surface
