Power in Action whets the taste buds for Tillage

摘要

Visitors to last week's Power in Action event in Suffolk got a sneak preview of much of the new kit that was on show at Tillage this week. Cheap to run and capable of working in all conditions - those are the claims for Kockerling's Ultima drill. Sprung ripper-tines double up as coulters and have individual press wheels running ahead to ensure an even drilling depth. These are then followed by a levelling harrow and ring-press to provide a final consolidation effect. The qompany says that without seed in the hopper the unit works equally well as a primary stubble grubber. A 4m version needs 170-180hp up front and costs pound 55,000.
