Kongskilde Vibroflex or similar

[rjtfarming]

Hi.
Just wondering if anyone could advise me on a shallow cultivator. For creating a bit of tilth on stubble or root ground. Looking to work 2"-4" deep. 3-4m wide.
Realistically my budget is sub 2k.
There are some affordable Kongskilde Vibroflex machines around, I just wonder if anyone had any experience of using them, or something similar.
Many thanks.
Rich.

I run 2 a 4m folding trailed one which is my main Min till cultivator with front discs, rear levelling discs and DD Roller and I rate very highly and then a 4m folding mounted one with the rear star levellers. Yes rate them very highly and as long as your land isn't too strong but make sure you get one with 4 rows of tines as opposed to the original 3 row spec. our 4m ones have 16 tines in the 4 rows which moves plenty of soil without running ridiculously wide points which can have penetration problems. If you want to know anything else send me a PM or ask away

Cheers

Alistair

Previous post pretty much covers it, have a 4300 Vibroflex and get on well with it. Change tines to suit what we are trying to do. Wider standard type for general stubble cultivating and wings for previously cultivated land when killing weeds

.

@Alistair Nelson how do you get on with the rear star levellers on your 4m mounted one? Do they leave a level finish?

Get on well. particularly if running at a decent pace and not too ambitious with how deep we put the times.

Thanks Alastair. I'm not sure my budget will stretch to a 4 row machine!

Thank you RBH. Do you find not having a crumbler roller on the back a problem for depth control?

No not really our Vibroflex has adjustable front depth wheels for depth control which seem to work well.
