“In our region, we suffer from compaction problems. In spite of irrigation, potatoes, beet and vegetable production, we need to disrupt hard soil layers regularly.
Previously, we had a chisel plough, of a competitor brand, equipped with curved subsoiler legs, that had a high mixing effect. However, with the multiplication of dry events these last years, we have started to look for a tool that aerates the soil profile without any mixing effect, thus preserving soil moisture. We then tried several machines during a demonstration and the TERRALAND TN3000 M7R chisel plough, with ZERO-MIX tines, caught our attention. We were seduced by the large number of tines and the quality of the subsoil tillage. After a single pass, our soils are truly aerated, the soil layers are not disturbed, which allows humidity to be kept at an appropriate depth and organic matter on the surface. The deeper soil does not rise, even during wet springs,” adds the farmer.
