38FSX Folded toolcarrier

SPADING IS MORE THAN JUST TURNING THE SOIL

More than 60 years of experience with spading machines is something Imants can look back on. From that experience we learned spading is more than just turning soil. Much more, in fact. Spading means mixing organic material with the living topsoil, incorporating crop residues and creating a seedbed, mixing green manure so it can be broken down into nutrients for the next crop. In short, both above the ground and in the soil you will achieve an even, homogeneous and well aerated soil after tillage with Imants spading machines. The true one pass tillage tool.

SUBSOILING, YES OR NO?

WHAT FINISH WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE?

Why tool carriers?

The present time makes the demand for larger capacity increasingly important. Through a higher working speed or a larger working width, it is possible to obtain this greater capacity. 

However, this makes the tools heavier and often they cannot be lifted in the 3-point linkage of the tractor or they do not comply with road traffic laws. 

Imants has therefore developed a tool carrier. Thereby, if desired, a (folding) subsoiler beam can be mounted on the implement carrier allowing multiple work passes to be combined. To save even more time, money and working passes, a seeder can also be mounted. 

This makes the tool carrier the heart of the combination to do all operations in 1 working pass; subsoiling, spading, seed bed preparation and seeding. An enormous cost saving can thus be achieved. Especially in the current time where labor is scarce and fuel is expensive, it is important to take this into account.

Options for the tool carrier with foldable subsoiler

To make the tool carrier fit your business, you can choose from a number of options. The tool carrier with foldable subsoiler has the advantage that, when folded, the transport width is less than 3 meters and is therefore approved for road transport. In combination with the 38FSX spading machine, everything falls within 3 meters (10 ft.). This machine can also be equipped with various hitches. The picture shows, among others, a lift for seeder bar. This is mounted on both halves of the spading machine. 

The number of ripper legs can be varied as desired, weights can be added to the drawbar to obtain sufficient drawbar pressure, but also additional hydraulic lines to the rear to operate other implements can be mounted. The control box has room for two more functions. So there are plenty of options to customize the tool carrier to meet your needs. 

An optional seed tank (not Imants) can be mounted as well as coulters. In that case, tilling, subsoiling, seedbed preparation and seeding in one working pass. Saving you time and fuel!

*Data based on carrier combined or not with spading machine. For all carriers, the possibility of combining with subsoiler beam and/or seeding as previously mentioned in the relevant option pages applies.

The 38FSX600H with 12 subsoiler legs has been chosen as the illustration. Working depth of the subsoiler legs is (depending on conditions) up to 50 cm (20”) deep. The spading axle and driven power harrow work from 15 to 35 cm (6 to 14”) deep

IMCAL

To point out the differences between current tillage methods and Imants tillage methods in capacity and financial terms, we developed the ImCal app. In a personal conversation of about one hour, you will be asked about the data of your plot, current tillage methods, available horsepower and method of depreciation. We will then explain and calculate the alternative Imants method. Below is an example of such a calculation. Don’t wait but ask for a calculation of your situation and start saving!
