Rigid 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 rigid subsoiler tool carrier

To make the tool carrier fit your farm, you can choose from a number of options. Depending on the desired soil preparation. The tool carrier can be equipped with 4, 6 or 8 ripper legs. These have a hydraulic stone protection. The working depth is very easy to adjust to a maximum of 50 cm (20”). 

The rear linkage is capable of lifting 10 tons (22000 lbs). Heavy implements are therefore not a problem. To maintain sufficient drawbar downwards pressure, additional weight can be mounted to the front of the drawbar if desired. The runs all the way through the machine so driven implements can work.

The image shows the non-folding V-ripper with a working width of 450 cm (15 ft.). Contact us for the options of the model of your choice.

PRACTICAL EXAMPLES RIGID SUBSOILER TOOL CARRIER

To point out the differences between current tillage methods and Imants tillage methods in terms of capacity and finance, we developed the ImCal app. On our trailed models there is the possibility to attach an implement by means of a drawbar. You can think of a trailing roller, a tire packer or a seeder. As you can see, there are many possibilities, so be well advised by an Imants advisor.

MODELS OVERVIEW

Specifications carrier with non-folding trailed spading machine*

*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.

** 58SX available in variant with driven power harrow (example: 58SX300H) or without (example: 58SX300).

*** Weight/dimensions in parentheses are weight/dimensions of the combination with rake roller.

The 58SX450PLH with 8 subsoiler legs has been chosen as an example.

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!
