Key properties

A strip-till cultivator designed for deep cultivation up to a depth of 55 centimetres before seeding wide-row crops.

TERRASTRIP ZN STRIP-TILL CULTIVATOR

Strip cultivation up to a depth of 55 centimetres.

TERRASTRIP ZN is a unique combination of a chisel plough and a strip-till cultivator, suitable for deep strip cultivation for establishing wide-row crops, such as corn, sunflower, oilseed rape, sugar beet or soya. The specially designed legs and a robust frame enable soil cultivation up to a depth of 55 centimetres.

HIGH ROBUSTNESS

High-strength Alform steel design.

The basic part of the TERRASTRIP ZN cultivator is a robust frame made of high-strength Alform steel. It provides high robustness and durability at work, even at the maximum depth of 55 centimetres.

STRIP-TILL CULTIVATION

Brings considerable economic advantages.

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

TERRASTRIP ZN 8/70-75

Strip cultivation for corn and sunflower

TERRASTRIP ZN 8/75 is especially suitable for preparing strips for wide-row crops planted with a row spacing of 70-80 centimetres. It offers a width of six metres and it is equipped with two rows of legs set at an inter-row spacing of 75 (70/80) cm. The machine can be easily folded into the transport position, in which it does not exceed the transport width of 3 metres.

ONE FRAME, TWO EQUIPMENT OPTIONS

The TERRASTRIP cultivator can be equipped with two types of legs.

ACTIVE-MIX legs
Zero-Mix legs

For deep loosening
The special shape of the Active-Mix legs provides easy soil penetration, and excellent loosening and mixing effect. In one pass, the soil profile is loosened in depth and the soil surface is intensely mixed and levelled.

For aerating soil without mixing
The special Zero-Mix legs with a negative angle provide subsoil tillage without active soil mixing. This operation is suitable for removing hardened soil layers, aerating the soil profile, and creating a proper soil environment in the processed strips. For perfect surface levelling, TERRASTRIP ZN is equipped with the heavy steel Cutpack.

TWO DEPTH SETTING OPTIONS

For fertiliser application.

Loosening should be supplemented with profile fertilisation, applied directly into the crop root zone. Fertiliser is applied directly into the processed strips. It can be placed at various depth levels. The loosened and fertilised strips are an ideal environment for a rich root system.

FERTILISER APPLICATION

Save soil, time and money in one pass.

FERTI-BOX FB_F
FERTI-CART FC
COMBO SYSTEM CS

The FERTI-BOX FB_F front mounted hopper is designed for 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 TERRASTRIP ZN cultivator is easily connected using the three-point hitch.

The COMBO SYSTEM CS is double-chamber air-cart 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.

Take a look at your future machine.

Three-point hitch

Easy connection to the three-point hitch of the tractor. Category III/IV hitch

Distribution head

Distributes applied organic or mineral fertilisers evenly in the distribution pipes leading to the individual working units.

Leg working section

The leg section layout ensures excellent loosening effect and mixing of crop residue with soil up to a depth of 55 centimetres. Two types of legs are available – for deep loosening or subsoil tillage.

Leg protection

Each leg is protected, either hydraulically using auto-reset leg system, or mechanically with the shear bolt.

Side deflectors

Maintain cultivated soil along the working width without the risk of side ridge formation.

Rear packers

Create an ideal fine soil structure and close the soil surface to prevent moisture evaporation.

OUR INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES

LONG-LIFE POINTS AND WINGS

The point and the entire abrasion area of the abrasion point are covered with plates made of sintered carbides. The front part of the wings is made of carbide plates that minimise wear and tear in the width and maintain the same shape and functionality the whole time. The LONG LIFE model offers up to ten times longer service time when compared with the standard model, ensures a consistent working depth and quality of work, improves recessing, and provides lower costs and time saved by replacing working parts.

PROFILE FERTILISATION AND DEEP LOOSENING IN ONE PASS

The system of profile fertilisation is one of the most efficient methods to maintain a sufficiently balanced nutrient supply in soil, not only in the arable horizon, but also in deeper layers of the soil profile. This innovative method of fertiliser application connected to deep soil cultivation is not only suitable for replenishing deficit nutrients in soil to reach a balanced level of a good supply, but also to improve accessibility of nutrients to plants, and it also has a positive effect on the growth of the root system.

WHAT DO THE FARMERS HAVE TO SAY?

“We took the opportunity to test the new machine by BEDNAR. It was the TERRASTRIP chisel plough with passive working leg and a defined inter-row spacing of 45 cm with the option to apply attractive fertilisers into the soil profile. We cultivated over 1,000 hectares with the machine in a difficult year and we were very pleased. We decided to buy the machine in connection with the fertiliser cart and we will continue developing this method of soil cultivation. The deep autumn loosening with TERRASTRIP ZN with subsequent ridge formation contributes to an increase in the tuber crop, as well as sugar yield in 2019. The tuber crop increased by 13.7% or 15.9% with the new soil cultivation technology (with comparable fertilisation).”

Accessories

We know that everyone has different requirements for the optional machine equipment and its expected use. Therefore, you can specify your TERRASTRIP ZN deep strip-till cultivator to precisely match your needs.

Tine section

ZERO-MIX legs

The negative angle provides subsoil tillage without active mixing at a depth of up to 55 centimetres. The negative angle does not mix soil, disturbs the hardened layers intensely and aerates the soil profile.

ACTIVE-MIX legs

Designed for intense deep loosening up to 55 centimetres. The ACTIVE-MIX legs disrupt, intensely loosen soil and mix it with crop residue.

Other

Additional side deflectors - mechanically adjustable

They keep cultivated soil along the working width without the risk of side ridge formation. The machine folds into the working position automatically.

AGRONOMICAL GUIDE

STRIP-TILL SOIL CULTIVATION
The importance of soil-protecting cultivation rests in the positive effect on the soil structure condition, in the reduction of the risk of soil and air erosion, in the management of organic matter, in the reduction of soil moisture loss, or in increasing the activities of soil micro-organisms that contribute to the balanced content of some elements, namely nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) in soil. From an economic aspect soil-protecting technologies cultivate soil with a lower demand on the pulling capacity of the tractor and related fuel consumption savings.
