Conserve soil moisture for future crop cycles
Announcement posted by KUHN Farm Machinery 05 Oct 2017
Late season rainfall may have come too late for winter crops in some parts of the country, but vertical tillage offers farmers an opportunity to harness the benefit of increased soil moisture levels.
Gerard Cusack is the New South Wales Territory Manager for KUHN Machinery and said Spring is the perfect time to observe ground moisture and improve soil fertility.
“Recent rain has arrived too late for many winter crop producers in northern New South Wales, southern Queensland and northern Western Australia, but KUHN soil preparation tools can help farmers maximize the benefits of late season rain for future crop cycles,” Gerard said.
“Vertical tillage, in particular, offers a proven, effective method for minimizing rainfall runoff and improving evaporation losses, leading to higher crop yields.”
Gerard said KUHN’s new Excelerator 8005 provides exceptional residue cutting, soil and residue mixing and seedbed preparation in one pass.
“The physical, chemical and biological condition of soil can have a significant impact on farm income by affecting crop yields. Working with the soil vertically, rather than side-to-side enables moisture to sink into the soil profile, preventing water running off and erosion,” Gerard explained.
“Plants also develop a strong root system with vertical tillage farming and are therefore less susceptible to drought and wind damage.”
The Excelerator 8005 Vertical Tillage System also saves times, by utilsing an exclusive 4-step process to capture and slice, cut and remove, mix and anchor and size and firm.
“True vertical tillage delivers residue cutting and soil mixing without soil shearing or smearing in the critical zone for seed placement and young seedling root development,” Gerard said.
“The Excelerator 8005 is one of the only vertical tillage systems that enables farmers to choose in they want to move soil laterally to fill ruts and smooth fields or leave more residue to meet requirements for highly erodible land (HEL) conditions.”
Gerard said the machine’s Excalibur blades are designed to meet the challenges of cutting through GMO residue and provide superior seedbed preparation in high residue situations.
The KUHN Excelerator is available in 11’ to 50’ working widths and can be ordered now for the 2018 season, with competitive finance options available.
