We continued testing the VrootR on black, heavy, dry, and compacted soil in Ököritófülpös. First, we were on a rapeseed stubble field with a high plant density and plenty of residue. It worked ideally at around 8 cm: it cut through the entire surface, sliced emerging weeds, eliminated the large cracks, and the plants remained standing on the surface because the

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
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
