Key properties

A strip-till cultivator for strip tillage up to a depth of 35 centimetres with an adjustable row spacing of 45-80 centimetres.

STRIP-MASTER EN STRIP-TILL CULTIVATOR

Offers interesting agronomic benefits.

The advantages of strip-till technology include reduced erosion, better water absorption or faster warming and a better aeration of the tilled soil strips when compared with direct drilling, or a targeted application of mineral or organic fertiliser into strips.

STRIP-TILL TECHNOLOGY

Reduces soil moisture evaporation.

The mid rows usually contains some crop residues that covers the uncultivated strips in the field. It reduces the evaporation of soil moisture. The crop residues provide a barrier against the spread of weeds.

PROTECT YOUR LAND

From the negative effects of soil erosion.

Strip-till technology is mostly used to reduce water and wind erosion. Soil erosion is the most frequent problem when growing row crops. Soil protection is achieved by leaving crop residues on the soil surface.

EACH ROW UNIT IS MOUNTED VIA PARALLEL LINKAGE

For maintaining the set working depth.

The STRIP-MASTER EN has a robust frame where the individual row units are mounted. Each row unit is mounted to the frame via parallel linkage with a option to change spacing using the clips. The row unit mounted via parallel linkage ensures perfect terrain contouring and maintaining the set working depth.

HYDRAULIC AUTO-RESET SYSTEM

Loosening tine

The loosening tines of the STRIP-MASTER EN cultivator are hydraulically protected to provide higher durability and easy operation. The release force is set to 750 kg and the tines can deflect by 26 cm in the case of contact with an obstacle.

OPTIMAL MACHINE DESIGN

A wide range of equipment = adapts to all conditions.

The row unit of the STRIP-MASTER EN cultivator consists of a cutting disc, a trash wheel, a loosening tine, a guide disc and a rear roller. The individual working parts can be easily adjusted to the specific farming conditions and customer’s requirements.

ROW SPACING ADJUSTMENT

Easy adaptation to various crops.

The STRIP-MASTER EN cultivator is suitable for the preparation of strips for row crops, such as maize, soya, sunflower or oilseed rape. The individual row units are easily adjustable on the frame to an row spacing of 45-80 centimetres, so the machine can be adjusted according to the crop.

HIGH CLEARANCE

Even in conditions with large quantities of crop residues.

The strip-till cultivator can be used for strip preparation to untilled soil, for example, directly in the catch crop or in fields with larger quantities of crop residues. When the STRIP-MASTER EN cultivator is equipped with a narrow spacing of 45/50 centimetres, the individual row units are in off-set to ensure trouble-free work without clogging.

MANURE OR SLURRY APPLICATION

Save soil, time and money in one pass.

SLURRY APPLICATOR

The FERTI-BOX FB_F front mounted hopper is designed to supply fertilisation directly in the soil profile and has a capacity of 1,900-2,200 litres. Fertiliser is pneumatically distributed from the front hopper to the distribution head mounted on the cultivator.

The FERTI-CART FC has a capacity of 3,500 litres. The large inclination of the hopper also allows to apply lower-quality fertilisers. The STRIP-MASTER EN cultivator is easily connected using the three-point hitch.

The COMBO SYSTEM CS is double-chamber trailed hopper which has a total capacity of 5,000 litres. The strip-till cultivator is connected in the three-point hitch of the COMBO SYSTEM CS. The double-chamber hopper design enables applying two different types of fertiliser in one pass.

The STRIP-MASTER EN cultivator can also be connected with a self-propelled or trailed applicator for organic fertilisers – slurry or digestate.

WHAT DO THE FARMERS HAVE TO SAY?

“Based on the positive references from our neighbours at Agro Kunčina a.s. and on the good cooperation with BEDNAR, I decided to address the regional dealer to prepare the purchase. It has been very dry and I do not want to move soil too much, and so I decided to go with the method of strip-till in the entire maize field. I cultivate soil in a targeted manner – only where it is needed under maize, where I can place fertiliser. The nutrients will be placed in zones where the maize needs them… I discused this procedure with several experts and I believe that I have done my best. I manage my own land and I want to provide it with proper care.”

AGRONOMICAL GUIDE

STRIP-TILLAGE
The importance of conservation tillage lies in its positive effect on soil structure, in reducing the risk of water and wind erosion, in the management of soil organic matter, in lowering the evaporation of soil moisture and in increasing the activity of soil microorganisms, which contribute to a balanced content of certain elements, particularly nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) in the soil. From an economic point of view, conservation technologies also make it possible to till the soil with a lower draft power requirement from the tractor, resulting in fuel savings.
