Last year, I unexpectedly became involved in an irrigation project that sparked my serious interest. The severe droughts of recent years and my incidental encounters with irrigation left me pondering. I had heard of it before but never really considered its potential importance. However, it turned out to be crucial. For those unfamiliar, drip irrigation pipes are laid below the
There are some lucky ones for whom spring seedbed preparation is not a particular problem. It’s not a question of getting the job done in one pass; rather, finer details such as durability, ease of adjustment, or cost determine the choice of machinery. And then there are those who have difficult-to-cultivate clay soils. These high-clay-content soils demand contradictory properties in
This year’s dry autumn brought us an interesting feedback regarding the sowing of autumn cereals. According to the story, after disc harrowing the stubble on the planting area, there was only enough time to prepare the seedbed on part of the area, while the seeds were planted without preparation on the other part. Unfortunately, there was no precipitation after sowing.
At first glance, nothing. But we can also say that they are tools needed on a farm. You can farm without them, but sooner or later, you will likely need them. You don’t need to think too deeply about it; the analogy aims to show that there are tools that can be replaced under ideal conditions. For example, a farmer
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. The
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.
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
Today, we are showcasing a very exciting machine. To be honest, this is a prototype we have only cooperated on, but it will soon appear in our portfolio. Credit to Franz Grötschl! The Grö-till technology debuted at Agritechnica 2023, which is an alternative min-till strip-till system. It has been continuously evolving since then, but the basics are becoming clearer. The
