Exciting new releases planned for 2024

From direct drills to the low disturbance looseners or shallow subsoiler range, Fentech Agri has a range of products in its catalogue to help establish seeds effectively and quickly.

The company offers the renowned line of Simtech direct drills with its proven T-slot tines.

The drills are relatively simple, well-built, reliable and cost-effective, with minimal moving/wearing parts. These versatile machines will penetrate even very hard ground, while the renowned T-slot system creates a unique environment for the perfect seedling germination, even in the most demanding conditions. The drill range extends from 2.4m grass drills up to 6m folding arable drills.

Some of the new releases planned for 2024 include:

• New front-mounted hopper models to allow wider drilling using less horsepower and more balanced loading of the tractor
• A four-toolbar frame for users with high trash conditions or application into cover crops
• A trailed kit as an intermediate step from a fully mounted machine to a trailed machine
• A lightweight folding drill with no rear spring flex roller.

The company also offers ultra-low disturbance subsoiling products using Tillso tine technology, shallow annual or bi-annual restructuring by lifting and dropping the soil over a wing to create vertical fissures for better root establishment. The tine has been developed to create minimal surface disturbance, this reduces the need for following cultivations, prevents weed seeds from being dropped throughout the soil profile and keeps fine soil particles on the surface. The ‘Advantage’ is offered from 3–6m, in both mounted and trailed formats with various optional extras.

Another key tool in the shed is the ‘Commander’ – a shallow tine cultivator which promotes the production of stale seedbeds. The machine is offered in 6, 8, 10 and 12m widths, with optional vertical tillage discs.

The business model revolves around soil health and reduction of inputs. The aim is to achieve maximum yields without high input costs, while at the same time, improving the soils for the future.
