Key Features & Construction
- Front Coulters: Cut cleanly through the soil, allowing the tines to penetrate with minimal resistance.
- Curved Bison Tines: Lift and fracture deep layers of compacted soil without disturbing the vineyard surface.
- Rear Hydraulic-Adjustable Roller: Smooths the surface for a clean finish and eliminates bumps or clods.
- Depth Penetration: Loosens soil up to 20 inches deep, restoring subsoil structure and improving infiltration.
Grower Benefits
- Improved Soil Health & Drainage: Loosening compaction promotes deeper rooting and better water movement.
- Protects Surface Cover Crops: Maintains soil cover and biodiversity while relieving compaction.
- Operational Efficiency: Leaves a smooth finish, reducing the need for additional leveling.
- Long-Term Vineyard Resilience: Healthy root zones contribute to stronger vines and consistent yields.
Ideal Applications
- Seasonal Soil Restoration: Use post-harvest or pre-budbreak for deep aeration.
- Cover Crop Systems: Perfect for vineyards practicing sustainable ground cover management.
- Challenging Soils: Effective on heavy clay or compacted ground where drainage is an issue.
- Soil Health Programs: Complements composting, mulching, and cover cropping practices.
