68 series

More than 60 years of experience with spading machines is something Imants can look back on. From that experience we learned that spading is more than just turning soil. Much more even. Spading means mixing organic material with the living topsoil, it means working crop residues under and creating a seedbed, it means mixing in green manure so that it can be broken down into nutrients for the next crop. 

From that experience we have learned that spading is more than just turning soil. A lot more even. Spading, that is organic material mixing with the living topsoil, it is working crop residues under and creating a seedbed, it is creating a seedbed, it is mixing in green manures so that they can be broken down into nutrients for the next crop, it is removing disturbing layers permanently and it is soil refinement. 

In short, both on the soil and in the soil preparation you can speak of a healthy soil after treatment with Imants machines.

Imants spading machines  take care of your soil

Deep tillage is mainly used to remove soil compaction and disturbing layers. Through the rotating movement movement of the spading axle with spades, an optimal optimal mixing is achieved. The soil can also be enriched or if desired you can increase the size of the cultivation layer.

The end result? Disruptive layers are lifted, resulting in a better mixing of the nutrients through the soil and thus creating better rooting. This in turn leads in turn to better water permeability and more air in the soil. In other words, the (capillary) action of the soil is restored.

Intensive mixing or not?

The drive train of the 68 series 

The drive train of the 68 series consists of a central drive box and 2 planetary drive boxes on the side. Very robust and reliable with a quiet run. Depending on the type of soil and the desired result, the 68 series can also be equipped with mixing plates (for intensive mixing), standard spading blades or narrow spading blades (breaking through obstructing layers with minimal mixing), but also with a clod rake and various trailing rollers such as cutter, cage roller (various diameters), tire packer etc. The trailing roller always has a double function. On the one hand it ensures that the top layer of soil is pressed firmly together again and is finished flat. On the other hand, it serves as a depth limiter
