Lots done in the dryer regions of the states to conserve moisture. Add in fertilizer placed below the seed 6–7 inches deep and the crop is primed fir success.Does anyone strip till for maize and if so what does it cost ?

Thanks for the reply have been offered a demo from Kuhn so will have to see how it goes going to try some now and some in the spring.We bought the Duro machine about 10 years ago, recently replaced the crinkly discs behind the Duro legs with a home modified rotavator, with one rotor behind each leg. Costs something like 20-25% of plough/power harrow.
We are thinking of trying the Sabre tine drill next year as we can get it in 4"
I think Mzuri was trying someDoes anyone strip till for maize and if so what does it cost ?
Do they use the muzri drill
Two local contractors do it here,seems to work well
Yes both of themDo they use the muzri drill
Yes that’s what I was thinking.How do you get on with the spacing using the Mzuri ?Been doing it with a mzuri for a few years. But I assume you mean one pass with a strip tiller and another with the planter?
A very interesting setup you have there for Maize. I would definitely call that Strip tillage as you have disturbed some, but not all the soil surface, one hell of lot less than Ploughing or Min-till would do.We bought the Duro machine about 10 years ago, recently replaced the crinkly discs behind the Duro legs with a home modified rotavator, with one rotor behind each leg.

Hi. We have built a strip till cultivater with Grange Machinery. I havent put any info on here, perhaps I should. Very pleased with the results in a season where a wide range of weather conditons were chucked at it.
The machine will be at Croptec next week. I will dig some photos out and post here
A two pass system is more adaptable to the conditions in my opinion. If soil comes up damp it can be left to pitch off before drillingCorrect me if I'm wrong - and I often am - but we are looking at strip drill on maize and were told by the Kverneland rep that we should leave the strip 7 days between stripping & sowing to allow the berm to settle or, in other words, get the air pockets out
Anyone else heard/do this?
We do a single pass operation, but when we went to France to see the Duro machine, they said on heavy land they leave the slots some time to dry out before drilling.Correct me if I'm wrong - and I often am - but we are looking at strip drill on maize and were told by the Kverneland rep that we should leave the strip 7 days between stripping & sowing to allow the berm to settle or, in other words, get the air pockets out
