Cultivating cereal stubble properly

Shallow to medium-depth stubble cultivation

The Super Maxx® easily reaches working depths of up to 15 cm, even in hard soil. For the first stubble pass, however, it is better to work shallow to begin with. This breaks capillarity, and the stubble and straw are mixed with soil to form a cover. Underneath it, a moist greenhouse climate ensures rapid and complete germination of weed seeds and volunteer cereals. A second pass 8 days later removes the new growth and mixes the straw in near the surface so that it can then decompose quickly and completely.

• Valuable soil moisture is conserved
• Complete straw decomposition – no straw is buried
• Fast, efficient cultivation, resulting in a soil structure that is ideal for sowing.
• Mechanical weed control comes as a free bonus.

First stubble pass in favourable conditions

With short stubble and short-chopped, well-distributed straw, the 5-row Super Maxx® BIO also does an excellent job on the first stubble pass. With long stubble and large quantities of straw, the first pass is better done with a conventional heavy cultivator. All subsequent passes can then easily be handled by the 5-row Super Maxx®. Otherwise, in unfavourable conditions, the 7-row Super Maxx® would be the better choice for the first stubble pass.

Light and manoeuvrable

Because it has no roller, the robustly built 5-row Super Maxx® BIO places only very moderate demands on the tractor’s lifting capacity, making it ideal for light tractors too. With a working width of 4.80 m, it is easy to handle from as little as 100 hp with minimal front ballast, both in the field and on the road. This is how you protect tractor and soil.

Reliable penetration, even in hard soils

The aggressive tines penetrate reliably, even in dry, hard soils. The double leaf spring makes the tines very robust and durable and makes them vibrate at high frequency. This enormous vibration works like a “pneumatic drill”, allowing the tines to penetrate even hard soils and create plenty of fine soil. The frames are built to match, robust enough to meet these high demands.
