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.
Read more about spadingDeep 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.
The deep spitting machines have different working depths depending on the series. As a rule of thumb is that half of the maximum the minimum working depth.
To achieve the desired mixing result desired mixing results, we offer the choice of series we offer the choice of:
The Imants deep spading machines are rotary spading machines. They work the ground by by means of a spade bracket that is attached to the spade. With the 60 series, 4 spade handles form a wreath (see image), The number of whorls on the axle varies according to the type and working width.
The SX spading blade
suitable for all soil types except wet clay. Easy to replace.
The SM spading knife
suitable for all soil types and conditions.
All spading machines are equipped with a cam clutch on the PTO shaft. This provides protection for the driveline.
Driveline of the DKH-machine
A highly reliable power train makes for machine that does an excellent job with a relatively “small” tractor. In addition, depending on the type of soil, you can choose different types of trailing rollers such as cage roller (various diameters), tire packer etc.
