47SX Series sand - sandy loam

While developing the latest generation rotary Spaders
Imants BV introduces a complete new concept. It has
been designed and developed to meet the demands of
discerning farmers, growers and agricultural contractors.
The Imants rotary Spaders are well known for their beautifully
prepared and undamaged soil structure, which is
fully decompacted and aerated. For all-in-one cultivation,
incorporation and seed-bed preparation - the Imants
rotary spader is in a class of it’s own.
 

Spading proven to be cheaper in comparison with ploughing.
 

The more and more efficient use of agricultural machinery,
to get less fuel consumption and lower labor costs, is a hot
issue for the modern farmer and contractor. The choice
between a rotary spader and a plough is not always easy.
This is why Imants BV asked for a trial at applied plant
research, partner of the Wageningen University. In this
trial they compared a 4 furrow plough with an Imants
3 meter rotary spader. The conclusion of the trial is that
spading saves 22% fuel in comparison with the plough
 

More advantages
The Imants rotary spader is a power take off (pto) driven
machine. This mode of action results in a cultivator which
literally powers itself through the soil. The advantage of
this system is de absolute minimal risk of wheel slip or
smearing under wet soil conditions. The ability to mix and
blend, is a huge advantage when it comes to incorporating
stubble and previous crop residues, as well as large quantities
of compost, slurry, manure and other organic materials.
This guarantees an ideal environment for fast consistent
germination, maximum plant establishment and optimum
uptake of nutrients.

When fitted with a rear mounted seed drill, the rotary
spader is transformed into a true one-pass cultivator/seeder
suitable for tractors rated at approximately 140 hp.
This enables the machine to perform primary and secondary
cultivation and seed sowing in one efficient operation.
This leads to a capacity of 1,5 ha per hour with a very low
fuel consumption.
 

Options
One of the options is a tow-frame on the spader which
allows you to pull a carrier device with a 'Goose-neck'
system and a 3-point linkage so that every seeder or
planter can be hooked onto the machine for a one-pass
operation. There is also an accumulator with a gauge
that can be used to reduce the ground pressure of the
rear 'Spiro' resulting in 10% more fuel efficiency.
