For you as a farmer, this often means a long wait until cultivation is possible at all. Implements with rollers in particular tend to block easily in such conditions. They “concrete” the soil and do lasting damage to the soil structure. The frequency of such weather conditions calls for solutions that work in practice.

Seedbed preparation despite wet conditions

In very wet weather, doing without a roller is the prerequisite for smooth, soil-friendly cultivation. Based on this insight, Güttler developed the first Super Maxx back in 2007. Deliberately without a roller, only with harrows and no trailing implement, this machine still offers very different possibilities today. The Super Maxx can be pulled by light tractors – with a high work rate. The spring-tine cultivator opens up wet soils, levels them and ensures that they air quickly.

Any reconsolidation and further crumbling that may be needed is achieved in the next operation. Either with a front-mounted Güttler roller, combined with sowing, or in a further pass with a cultivation implement with a roller. In both cases, the dried soil is gently crumbled and reconsolidated, preparing an optimum seedbed.

The solution for all weather conditions

The hot, dry summers of recent years caused problems with stubble cultivation. At shallow settings there was often a lack of penetration, so you had to work unnecessarily deep. As completely dried-out soils are difficult to reconsolidate, valuable soil moisture is quickly lost in large quantities.

Even under these extreme conditions, the Güttler Super Maxx has shown that the narrow, aggressive and highly vibrating tines allow shallow, water-saving stubble cultivation even on the hardest soils.
