Tillage without rotation

Soil regeneration technologies, in particular bio, min-till / no-till, pose new challenges for soil management. The aim is to increase the organic carbon content of the soil, reduce soil erosion, maintain optimal water and air balance and achieve intensive internal nutrient cycling, which requires that soil life and ecosystems remain as intact as possible.

Several of our machines support these technologies. This is the weed control solution of BUSA™ Rotary weeder, which can be used for ultra-shallow cover crop management (min-till termination), and the BUSA™ LTH subsoiler, with a 76.2 cm spacing, effectively supports direct seeding and row cultivation with our sectional roller implement.

BUSA™ Rotary Weeders

The GYMF, or Rotary weeder, was developed as a variant of the FKM target machine. Designing this simplified version was necessary because on plantations, fast and efficient cultivation could be achieved with only two lines of Rotors. The concept of the machine is based on the following observations: The hanging branches of plantations call for a lower machine. The brutal force of the bigger Rotor is an unnecessary feature on plantations. From smaller Rotors we build machines with smaller increments, since machines of differing widths are required on different plantations.

Alternatively, the GYMF can be used as field weeder, stubble conditioner, or seedbed maker. An interesting new application is min-till termination, where Busa™ Rotary tillage machines are used for ultra-low cover crop stock control.

BUSA™ Subsoilers

In the 2000s, the need arose to ensure that the loosener does not bring up “wild soil” in the clayey saline subsoil. This was the year when we introduced the straight backplate, which was widely used in the USA and marketed as a stand-alone product for many years. First we made machines with a V-arrangement, but later it was proven that the two-row arrangement achieves better slack with less traction.

A new direction is the in-line design, which can do a good job with a large knife spacing on dry soil.
From there it was just a step to support strip-tillage, our 76.2 cm spacing, even with a staggered roller, supports direct seeding and strip-tillage well.
