I recently visited a cultivator that was put into operation this year to see it working in the field and to gather some practical insights after the first hours of use. The machine is a hydraulically folding 8‑row cultivator equipped with an 1100‑liter tank, reinforced Gen4 cultivation units, BUSA Rotor working elements, and two disc‑type liquid injectors per row. The
Starting a technical article with the weather or drought is unbearably dull — yet unavoidable. In Hungary, irrigation is no longer a tool that promises extra security or higher yields; it has become the very condition for survival. Almost overnight, we have been forced to master an entirely new system: a form of water management where every single drop must
We were looking for a solution for shallow stubble cultivation, but we needed something that cuts through the entire stubble surface — tall stubble, heavy residue, even green regrowth. The elephant‑sized part of the challenge is the crop residue wrapping around the tines. It’s a self‑reinforcing problem: if we want to cut through the entire surface with many tines, we
Mára rettenetesen elcsépelt lett a no-till, és a 2025 -ös Agritechnika óta van olyan gyártó, aki feltalálta a no-till grubert. Azért ez a marketing legsötétebb vonala… A no-till az eredetileg csak vetés, betakarítás, vegyszerezés. Igen, ez egy glifozát alapú rendszer, így lett megálmodva. Vannak jó dolgai, mint a gyökérfolytonosság, vagy a talaj bolygatatlanságából adódó talajélet támogatás, a mulcs borítottság. Más
This machine is the result of an exciting brainstorming session. Our field cultivator has been around for a long time — the classic goose‑foot, light‑spring type arranged in two or three rows. It was mainly used for spring drying of loamy soils. (It’s a bit sad in hindsight: ten years ago the challenge on many fields was to lose enough
“A year ago we launched the BUSA MPW implement — also known as the ‘Mouse Plow’, our rodent‑control application machine. It was originally intended for field use, in alfalfa and newly sown cereals. The basic setup is that we pull two units, spaced roughly 2 to 2.5 meters apart. Depending on soil conditions, we run the ‘fake tunnels’ either directly in
The development of our StalkPuller began with an interesting problem. The task was to remove stalk and root residues from the stubble. Naturally, our first recommendation was the BUSA Rotor in a strip‑till configuration, which works well if the goal is to crush the stalks to prevent corn borer overwintering. However, it doesn’t pull out the root balls — it
That’s how this development is. We took a machine out to Agritechnica, and I haven’t even written an article about it on the website yet. But it’s an exciting piece! We could even call it the BUSA regenerative farming starter kit – kind of like a Swiss Army knife, painted yellow. The simple yet versatile structure can be mounted at
