AGOLA Stone buriers with rear roller process the soil in a single pass at a depth of up to 30 cm, performing the combined functions of a flail mower, plow, disc harrow, rotary tiller or power harrow, preparing it for direct seeding.
How does it work?
- The rotor, to which the blades are attached, rotates in the opposite direction compared to conventional machines. This allows the soil to be broken up from bottom to top, without hardening the subsoil, using the sharp tips of the blades.
- The soil is lifted from a depth of 30 cm and piled toward the tractor. This pile may contain clods, crop residue, or stones.
- The sharp edges of the blades, positioned above the soil level, strike this pile, breaking up the crop residues, clods, and any stones that could be shattered.
- With repeated shovel-like movements, the fragmented soil, crop residues, and stones weighing less than 7 kg are ejected into the screen system at the back of the machine.
- Stubborn clods, crop residues, and stones that cannot pass through the gaps in the screen fall back into the 30 cm deep trench created by the blades.
- The soil that passes through the screen gaps starts to fill the trench and cover the residues on top.
- The leveling plate smooths over the filled trench.
- The roller gently compacts the leveled trench.
Benefits:
- Creates a loose soil structure at 25 cm depth, allowing easy root establishment for seeds or seedlings.
- Shortens the germination period.
- Enhances soil drainage, enabling water retention at depths of 25-30 cm.
- Increases the soil’s organic matter content through the decomposition of buried crop residues and roots.
- Prevents blemishing of fruits grown underground by burying stubborn clods and stones.
- Reduces fuel, labor, spare part costs, and saves time by performing the work of four machines in one pass.
