Strip-Till Preparator

Key Information

Machine Features

The Preparator has been designed from carefully listening to farmers over the past few seasons who are wanting to perfect their establishment of maize. We have designed and built three prototype machines to date which have had various changes and additions to the frame and the general layout of our cultivation process in the row. We are now very pleased to announce full production of the Strip-Till Preparator at Lamma Show in January 2023. 

The machine has a particular cultivation layout that we have worked on tirelessly over the last three seasons. The layout of our three independent rows of cultivation discs that can be hydraulically adjusted whilst working in harmony with our low disturbance tine and point allows us to create a perfectly cultivated row that is ready for a seed to be planted into.  This system is then finished with a zonal Guttler prism roller ring that is the final part of the cultivation pass to breakdown any clods that have flowed through the system as well as consolidating the row in readiness for a planter when the time suits to sew. 

One of the unique features that the Preparator offers is the option of applying either granular or liquid fertiliser behind the loosening tine in preparation for seed to be placed into the row.
