Fresh from the drawing board – Grö-Till, style4

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

Fresh from the drawing board – Springerhacke

Hello everyone, welcome to our “Fresh from the drawing board” section. Let me tell you about our spring-loaded rubber-finger weeding system, the Springerhacke. We managed to come up with a nice name, didn’t we? It all started when we wanted to cultivate lavender. Next to it, only the BUSA Rotor can go, but what about the row spacing? Our best

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

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

A little summer loosening – A tale of medium-deep subsoiling

We loosen the soil to eliminate its harmful compaction. Over time and with continuous use, our soil becomes compacted and silted, resulting in water stagnation in spring, inability to absorb heavy rains, surface runoff, and rapid drying in summer. Plants suffer on such soil, drowning in water in spring, drying out in summer, with roots unable to grow downward and

New soil loosening innovation from BUSA

Extreme weather phenomena, such as drought and torrential rains, highlight the importance of soil loosening processes. While maintaining infiltration capacity, we must choose a primary tillage method that results in the least water loss. Medium-depth loosening tools can be integrated into almost any soil cultivation technology, making it essential to have at least one on every farm. However, the type
