[QUOTE="KANGROW Farmer, post: 6647656, member: 144586"] Hi I have a 12 meter 16 row strip tiller. The aim is to strip till in the autumn placing fertiliser in the row ready for a spring sowing program of corn. Winters in Russia freeze the ground to 500mm plus so timing of these operations are very important. The land is new cropping ground and has not been cultivated for over 30 years. This natural vegetation has given beautiful soil structures, that handle everything that mother nature throws at it (high rainfall ie August 150mm plus) and total growing season over 600mm. And no erosion issues, slumping, etc etc. Its amazing. In any case the point being I want to strip till direct into the sod which has 2 inches of root matter, and when I say root matter, it's like a carpet, but currently I can not build a berm, as the north Americans refer to it, the sod root matter simply stays put. I dont want to plough the country I have, but I do have I plough. I was thinking of retrofitting the Skimmers from the GB 10 furrow onto the front of the strip tiller row units to skimmer the root matter into the inter row. I would like to get feedback on this and even better totally new ideas and experiences dealing with this. I've seen something that might fit my situation and comes from an organic system in Canada I understand that my situation is very niche. Regards, [/QUOTE]
