Tillage Aggregates — Professional Soil Cultivation Machines
Tillage aggregates are modern multi-functional agricultural machines that perform several tillage operations in a single pass. They significantly reduce working time, lower fuel consumption, and minimize soil compaction — directly contributing to higher yields and lower production costs. At Motofarma, you will find a wide selection of tillage aggregates suited to various soil conditions and agronomic requirements.
Types of Tillage Aggregates
Stubble Cultivators
Stubble cultivators are designed for shallow soil tillage immediately after harvest, working at depths of 5 to 15 cm. They mix crop residues into the soil, stimulate weed germination, and prepare the field for cover crop sowing. Equipped with disc or tine working sections, they perform excellently on medium and heavy soils.
Subsoil Tillers (Subsoilers)
Subsoilers loosen the soil deeply without inverting the topsoil layer, working at depths of 25 to 50 cm. They break up plough pans and improve water-air relations in the soil. Particularly recommended on compacted soils where a hardpan has formed after years of ploughing.
Combined Seed-bed Cultivators
Combined cultivator-seeders combine soil tillage and seeding in a single pass. The machine simultaneously cultivates the soil, sows seeds, and uses a packer roller to ensure optimal seed-to-soil contact. This is the ideal solution for farms focused on efficiency and saving agronomic time.
No-Till Machines
No-till is a modern farming system that replaces traditional ploughing with direct drilling or minimum tillage. No-till aggregates minimise soil disturbance, protect against erosion, reduce costs, and improve organic matter balance — an increasingly popular method on sustainable farms.
Advantages vs Single Implements
- Time savings — multiple operations completed in one pass
- Lower fuel costs — fewer field passes mean lower expenses
- Reduced soil compaction — protecting soil structure with fewer passes
- Higher work quality — precise seed-bed preparation in a single step
- Greater efficiency — wide machines cover large areas quickly
Frequently Asked Questions
What tractor power is needed for a tillage aggregate?
Light aggregates (up to 3 m working width) require 80–120 hp. Medium machines (3–5 m) need 120–200 hp. Wide aggregates (over 5 m) require tractors above 200 hp. Always check the manufacturer's specifications before purchase.
What is the working depth of stubble cultivators?
Stubble cultivators typically work at 5–15 cm depth, adjustable hydraulically or mechanically to suit agronomic needs — shallower for weed strike or deeper for residue incorporation.
Can a combined cultivator-seeder replace separate implements?
In most cases yes — it cultivates, levels, sows, and packs the soil in one pass, saving time and fuel. Exceptions may occur with extreme soil conditions requiring specialist seed-bed preparation.
