What are peoples opinion of this machine?
Would it do enough work to follow with a powerharrow disc combi?

Do you think it would be suitable for most soil types?

I used it on some heavy ground which had been ploughed was pretty impressed with it.

I like our little one, it moves all the soil to a shallow even depth and mixes residue really well.
Used to use it instead of discing ahead of the power-harrow drill and worked well. On our clayey ground you have to use it when there’s some moisture or it just brings up clods but I’ve no experience on other soils or stone.
I popped an old video up. Cheers

We had one on demo, was good on lighter ground but if you went too deep on heavy ground it bought lumps up which it couldn’t break down, we bought a Simba Express and ST Bar.

We on heavy soil. Had a demo this autumn of a 4m mounted Karat with auto reset tines as was looking to replace our 3m McConnell discaerator. Our soils have become more friable with using the discaerator for the last 8 years and therefore we felt we didn't need such deep working front legs. The karat with the wings mixes the soil very well. We part exchanged the discaerator in for the karat.

3m Auto reset and D ring packer. Very versatile.

Have established a lot of crops using it as primary cultivator followed by kuhn combiliner.
made a min till osr drill around it by making a following toolbar out of old accord cx disc drill and blowing seed and fert from front. Not 2019 though, too wet, reverted to plough.

traditionally bed tilled all root crop ground too, karat has let me cut bed tilling by at least half, depending on soils.

think it’s a good tool
