Catch crops play a crucial role in sustainable farming. They improve soil structure, increase soil fertility and provide erosion protection. GÜTTLER machines make sowing catch crops even more efficient and effective.
Super Maxx® – versatile use in every season
The Super Maxx® BIO is ideal for the first stubble pass and the subsequent passes to prevent herbicide resistance. Thanks to the double leaf spring tines with their progressive characteristic, the first stubble pass creates plenty of fine soil for reliable germination of volunteer cereals and weed seeds. Choose the narrow point for this. For the subsequent operations, which aim to cut off emerged volunteer cereals and weeds across the full width, the swept point is used. The double harrow reliably uproots the cut weeds and volunteer cereals so that they dry out quickly on the surface. This reduces the seed bank of broad-leaved and grass weeds in the long term. Thanks to its low draught requirement, the Super Maxx® BIO achieves twice the work rate at half the fuel consumption compared with other implements. The Super Maxx® BIO is particularly suitable for shallow stubble cultivation, weed control and seedbed preparation, making it a versatile all-year machine for the professional farmer.
The Super Maxx® CULTI has been specially developed to prepare a perfect seedbed after ploughing or cultivating, and it is excellent at incorporating slurry and green manure. With a working width of up to 6 metres and a mounted seeder, the Super Maxx® CULTI can also sow the catch crop successfully.

GÜTTLER GreenMaster and GÜTTLER MAYOR – the ideal combination for establishing catch crops
Your tool for effective, low-cost catch crop sowing with the GÜTTLER harrow-roller combination. Extend the range of uses of your grassland harrow and put your GÜTTLER GreenMaster to work for high-output catch crop sowing. The harrow lightly massages the seed into the soil, and the Prismenwalze® (prism roller) behind it ensures optimum soil contact and reliable field emergence.
New: MAYOR with seed tank
MAYOR 640 for catch crop sowing: the MAYOR Prismenwalze® with seed tank is ideal for sowing catch crops and undersown crops. It is controlled from the cab via the SeedProfi terminal, including adjustment of the seed rate and monitoring of the sowing process. The seed is distributed evenly in front of the roller and pressed in, creating ideal growing conditions.
