Best shallow, full soil movement tillage system

[snipe]

Looking for ideas for a tillage system to fit in an existing frame want something compact that moves all the soil but only working an inch(ish) deep. Would be following a low disturbance flatlift. Has anyone much experience of the wavy discs similar to this

I was Impressed with these , after watching them work moved all the soil

i agree. But need something compact to fit inside a frame in front of a packer

Work of the devil round is thus year. So dry that it blows like mad after.

Power harrow

Power harrow

Probably not so daft if you already have one.
I know it isn't a new and fashionable £15k "short disc", but it would move the top inch or so and chit the black grass.

Is it dealing with a volume of chopped straw/residue or baled clean stubble?
I’d say short discs would work into loosened ground with weight on them.
Power harrow tends to fluff and float trash up rather than help incorporate it.

We have a set of short discs but we find if going very shallow it does not move all the soil. It’s on 25cm disc spacings

Plough and prevent grass weed problems??

I like the look of the Woxagri Supermaxx but it won't fit in a small gap. Short discs don't move all the ground at shallow depths. Maybe a wide "sweep" type tine would work but you might not have enough speed to get it to mix properly.

Agrilinc do a inverter with similar discs

"supermaxx" love the name

that’s the plan, but once we have ploughed for the next couple of years I want to just move the top inch before drilling. Then plough every 3 years.

How about a roller/ crimper knife roller. Watched one chopping up spring onions.
quite a few different variations of this set up .you can see them on YouTube .

Why not just a tyned cultivator type implement with wide sweep points ?

pretty much the mainstay of tillage systems here before everyone went zero till

Won't really work shallow enough when soil is dry.
I have a Kongskilde Delta, just as you describe, and it moves all the soil, and makes a reasonable job of mixing trash if you give it enough power to get soil in the air. But it wants to work 4" deep really else, it slides over the hard areas and not a chance in tramlines.

plough and have more ryegrass problems!

 

[spin cycle]

why would you want to disturb the top inch

surely just dry it out?...seems 'worst of all worlds' in min till system?

genuinely curious plough jockey

This what you're looking for. Use the Kuhn Accelerator blades and concept. Use 2 gangs, front and rear and and angled opposite of each other. Make it adjustable so you can run from 0 to 5 or 8 degrees. Will do a beautiful job and you can control the aggressiveness depending on soil type and moisture
