I visited a machine site worth sharing — this time BUSA GYMF made it all the way to Sicily. A new region always brings surprises, and the first machine delivered is always a major milestone. The local farms were looking for a mechanical weeder suitable for plantations, capable of treating the entire surface. Their choice fell on a solution that’s
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
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
Some may call it a matter of faith, but one thing’s for sure — crop farming hasn’t been boring in recent years. We can more or less estimate the weather a week ahead, but to keep it close to home: at the beginning of the year, everyone was preparing for Sahara-like conditions. Then, just as it was time to sow,
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
