The new Kultistrip is Kverneland’s answer for strip-till, an innovative tillage procedure for row cultures such as maize, sugar beet, sunflower or rape seed.

It works by only preparing the soil where the crop is supposed to grow. Depending on the intended width of the row, up to 70% of the soil surface is not worked. This not only protects the soil against erosion and drying but also reduces the tillage costs.

The Kverneand Kultistrip is especially operator-friendly. All settings can be adjusted without tools, minimum maintenance is required.

A special feature is the separate adjustment of the break-up share and fertiliser injector. This means that you can change the working depth whilst keeping the fertiliser placement the same, or alternatively, change the level of the fertiliser injection while leaving the working depth unchanged

The Advantages:

• Strip-till improves the water absorption and storage.
• The soil is better protected against erosion – soil loss and soil drying are slowed down.
• A residue-free, deeply loosened seedbed ensures high emergence and deep root formation.
• In one and the same pass, fertiliser may be placed exactly where the plant needs it.
• The field remains negotiable even in difficult weather conditions. This means seeding can be done earlier and makes driving on the field for crop care and harvesting work simpler.

Front Cutting Disc

• Opens the earth
• Cuts long residues
• Adjustable working depth

Trash Wheels

• Move even high amounts of residue out of the strip
• Adjustable in down pulling force

Loosening Tine

Works down to a depth of 30cm.

There are three different tines available:

The straight tine for light soils and low mixing effect, minimum soil disturbance on the surface and perfect, ensuring moisture conservation.

The angled tine for light to medium soils, ensuring good mixing and crumbling effect.

The  curved tine for heavy soils, intensive mix and crumbling effect.

Side blades

To keep loose soil within the Strip

To define width and form of the strip

Press wheel

To recompact the soil, there are three different press wheels for various soil conditions:

• Cage roller
• V-press wheel
• Farmflex wheel
