The first machine manufactured in the UK with a Simba double D ring behind.

The Rotary Plough

With oil prices increasing, the cost of cultivation becomes a very important part of farm profit calculations.  Traveling across the same ground twice, three times or more you can kiss those profits goodbye. The Rotary Plough is designed to be a single pass cultivating machine, digging the ground too or below the depth of a plough, but leaving you with a seed bed soil finish.

We have used the machine during 2008 to incorporate straw that has been left on the ground after lifting carrot crops.  This can be 20 tons of straw to one acre. In this operation we are only cultivating the top 10" max of the soil with the straw so when the field is ploughed at 15" the under layer of soil is placed onto of the mixed straw. 

The top picture shows the original machine purchased from Holland and made by Farmax, during the last year we have been able to design our own machine for incorporating straw with more efficiency and greatly reduced wear. We have removed the rear driven leveling rotor and replaced this with a "Simba" DD ring leaving the ground firmed and ridged allowing water to pass through the surface. The drive box is designed to cope with greater HP's and longer operating tolerance. Our system use's "power Lock" couplings removing the use of key ways or splined shafts. We will offer a range of digging rotors so that the machine can be used for spring work creating a seed bed from ploughing to straw incorporation.

This machine does not smear the ground, this machine does leave a seed bed, this machine only uses 26 - 30 ltrs of fuel per hour on a 200hp tractor. When compared to three tractors and three different machines to create the seed bed you require, this is a better, and more cost effective way of creating the tilth you need.

2009 will see us develope this machine for potato ground.
