Options to remove compaction with minimal surface disturbance
18th October 2024
With increasing awareness and emphasis on soil health, Cousins of Emneth says it offers cultivation options to alleviate compaction problems and give your crops the best start – with no soil inversion and minimal surface disturbance.
The use of a soil-loosening cultivation tool can relieve any damage caused during previous wet periods and help soils cope better with any future heavy downpours moving forward.
Where minimal surface disturbance and low horse-power requirement are the priority, the Less-Lift is the go-to tool, the manufacturer says.
It features hydraulically adjustable cutting discs running directly ahead of specially designed Step Change tines with a vertical plane in contact with the soil for minimum inversion followed by a Shark Fin Packer, which has optimally placed blades to assist in slot closure while creating minimal surface disturbance.
Where deeper soil penetration is required the original V-form Soil-Loosener is able to work between 250–500mm depths. There are a range of tine, point and wing options available to suit individual requirements, including low disturbance options.
Less-Lift models are linkage mounted 3m rigid, 4m, 5m and 6m folding working widths.
V-form models are 3m and 3.5m rigid linkage mounted; 4.5m, 5m and 5.5m folding linkage mounted; and 4.5m, 5.5m, 6.5m and 7.5m trailed.
Wisbech-based Cousins has been designing and manufacturing soil-looseners for 30 years.
