Fresh from the drawing board – The Duck

There are many variations of our GYMF, Rotary weeder series, and over time, this will only increase. Naming it is a difficult task. For a while, we have been avoiding the problem that within a farm, it is sometimes necessary to work with different row spacings. A 2m and 2.5m row spacing vineyard is not uncommon within a farm.

Supporting autumn direct seeding with a 3-row Rotary Seedbed Maker

We received an exciting task. We had to support autumn direct seeding. Of course, since we were involved, it wasn’t direct seeding anymore, but it was sensible. The area was a mix of looser and tighter sandy stubble and meadow, where soil preparation was of utmost importance. However, due to the recent drought conditions, we had to minimize soil disturbance.

Farmer’s opinion on the BUSA FKM Rotary Seedbed Maker

In 2015, we took a Busa row-crop cultivator to Szentes for testing, where we demonstrated the advantages of the KS Rotary row-crop cultivator on a 10-hectare area. This was when Mr. Levendovics got acquainted with BUSA as a brand. Nothing proves his satisfaction better than May 2015, when 90 mm of rain fell at once. As a result, a 2-3

Fresh from the drawing board – BUSA PreDisc Series

Hello everyone, welcome to our Fresh from the drawing board section. Today, we are introducing a typically no-till accessory tool. The machine is essentially a pre-cutter module. It can be attached to the rear of a conventional seeder, and its discs cut the soil surface, whether it’s stubble or crop residue, preventing the seeding elements from clogging. This specialized X-shaped

Fresh from the drawing board – UTIN mounted heavy disc harrow with BUSA Rotor

The basic structure is a suspended, heavy V-disc harrow. It was intended for forestry use, so it had to be as strong as the tractor’s lifting capacity could handle. We started with our super-heavy forestry suspended disc, using elements from our heavy agricultural trailed disc. The first row received tapered roller bearings with 610 mm disc blades. The massive but

Loosening and the case of the unnailed horseshoe

Everyone knows the story where the horse was lost for want of a nail, … the courier, … the battle, … the country. But what does this have to do with loosening? A few years ago, we set up a cultivator in a harsher part of the country. It wasn’t particularly pleasant, as the safety springs kept moving, with something
