All about grassland

Why does good grassland mean hard cash?

Higher milk yields from forage are your key to optimised costs, because more output from your forage means lower concentrate costs. And with better animal health in the barn, you save on herd replacement and vet costs.

Find out how it works in our grassland handbook.

What can you actually achieve with optimised grassland management?

With well-maintained grassland, you achieve consistently higher yields and considerably better forage quality, and you are better prepared for extreme weather and the harmful effects of climate change.

And of course, good grassland also means healthy, vigorous animals.

Find out how to get your grassland into top shape here: Grassland handbook.

So how does optimum grassland maintenance work?

• To prepare grassland perfectly for the new season and possible overseeding, you need the right equipment.
• With our HarroFlex, you have a reliable and innovative harrow at your side.
• Level the ground, create a fine, crumbly structure and open up the soil for the subsequent sowing.
• You also ensure good aeration of your existing sward and stimulate your grasses to tiller again.
• Find more information here: Grassland handbook.

Healthy, strong grassland is no secret – with the right equipment and a good understanding of crop production processes, you can easily optimise your grassland yourself.

Happy cows like really good feed.

With our grassland equipment, you turn your fields into healthy, high-yielding sites – and make your cows and cattle pretty happy along the way.

Because good forage lowers the risk of disease and improves the health status of your livestock.

And how does that work? We explain it in our grassland brochure: Grassland brochure

Overseeding pays off. But when is the best time?

Early spring is the “classic” time for overseeding. Overseeding can then be combined with other necessary operations, such as levelling molehills and stimulating tillering. But conditions for overseeding are not always ideal at this time, as the existing sward starts growing again very quickly and often smothers the new seedlings.

An alternative would be overseeding after the last cut in autumn. Why?

• The soil is still warm
• The existing sward is no longer as vigorous
• Rainfall becomes more frequent

Is there perhaps yet another alternative?

We report on this in our grassland brochure. You can get it here: Grassland brochure

Against the background of climatic, political and social change, it is becoming increasingly important to look to the future – including when it comes to grassland.

We must preserve and improve grassland as a basis for production for the generations that follow us. So get your grassland “fit” for the future now and produce as much protein as possible on your own meadows.

We supply the tools and stand by your side on the road to the future.

You can find our solutions in the grassland brochure

Our grassland machines are true all-rounders.

To prepare your grassland perfectly for the season in a single pass, we have combined many operations in one machine:

• A levelling bar for levelling
• Robust, adjustable harrow tines for aerating the sward
• Metering and spreading grass seed in front of the roller
• GÜTTLER roller to stimulate tillering and roll in the overseeding

But our machines can do much, much more. Take a look at our new grassland brochure, available via this link: Grassland brochure

Well-maintained grassland is the basis for good performance from forage across the board. But what do you do when the meadow looks like the one in the picture?

A long-known fact: the tread of sheep’s hooves is the best massage any soil can get. Why?

• it firms the sward
• it strongly stimulates the existing sward to tiller
• it treads in the overseeding

The result is a high-yielding, dense sward with good load-bearing capacity.

Thanks to its design, our proven and well-known “GÜTTLER prism ring” has exactly the same properties.

But our rollers can do even more. What? Find out in our grassland brochure via this link: Grassland brochure

Gaps in the sward must be closed by overseeding.

Gaps appear in the sward as grasses die off naturally or the sward is damaged. If not enough overseeding is done and the grassland is left to itself, these gaps will close quickly – but usually not with species that are regarded as high-quality forage.

That is why we combine our grassland machines with overseeders that spread the seed in front of our proven GÜTTLER roller. The roller presses the seed lightly into the soil and ensures optimum germination conditions.
