Best low hp cultivator for incorporating straw.

[Boomerang]

By low I mean 90hp.
Got alot of straw after cover crop of oats,
It's been flailed, but there's alot of straw. Would like a one pass cultivator that can handle alot of straw , and is easy to pull.
Contradiction I know. , need to put another cover crop in after oats ,but volume of straw is making Job difficult.
Any ideas ??

3 furrow reversible, before anyone suggests it,I recon probably lemken terradisc or like,3m but you wont go too deep or fast with 90hp,the weight will beat you as quite long

3m vibroflex cultivator and send her on a bit
Ideally I'd say a terrano or Simba TL but you won't lift one never mind pull it with 90 oss

Trailed discs , set them shallow but enough to stir up some soil and not too aggressive, Simba 2 was ideal for scratching in turnips

Kongskilde delta in farmers guide today would be an option but may need a couple of passes with limited hp.

Very good option, we pulled one with our 3075 on dry ploughing at a demo about 15yrs ago. More clearance and probably better mixing than a vibroflex tbh.
I'd of thought discs would hairpin in heavy straw

Superflow drag , plenty of space between the legs for straw to get through and a high frame , 90hp would walk away with one

superflow will take all the hp you can give it. 170hp struggles sometimes!

Not a small model wont ,,we used to pull one with a twd 590mf

like I say, will take all you can give it. Yes you can pull it with a 575, as we have done. but with more power you can go faster and drop it in a bit more doing a better job

Not enough power, got a 3m, and JD3050 will pull it, but not deep or fast enough to mix well. 6480 handles it much better but with lots of trash two passes are needed.
By which time you'd have ploughed it with 5 furrows, on the same tractor.

It’s about the closest the op will get to one pass which the tractor will lift and pull. I can’t think of any other light machines. It looks more like the plough will be his best option.

90hp will struggle to incorporate straw imo doesn't matter what implement you recommend appart from a plough.
Whatever method the op chooses look for an implement no more than 8' wide that might help.

Take the skimmers out , run shallow , itll look abit hairy but no different to a top working implement

 

[Boomerang]

Dragged once .
Think I will put a crumbler on back and give it a go twice over. Ploughing isn't an option.

 

[Henery]

Cambridge rolls will do some good there , be well worth the time I’d think.

It'll still be better buried than a Delta, with any number of passes..

 

[Drillman]

Set of trailed discs to mix it up then leave alone and let nature do its stuff for a few weeks then cultivate again pre drilling.

Why has no one said Rotavator. One pass should do.
