OPICO Shatta's establishment costs
Printed in Farmers Guide September
2001
A new high output, one-man system for soil
levelling and rolling in one pass is saving farmers time and
money by reducing the machinery and manpower costs involved
in seedbed establishment.
The combination of OPICO's Vari-Flex Rolls
with the Shatta Board spring levelling board not only provides
extra levelling and consolidation of ploughed ground; on lighter
and medium soils, one pass after the plough works the ground
down and consolidates it ready for the drill to go straight
in, OPICO told Farmers Guide.
The levelling board, which is mounted just
in front of the rolling assembly, can be lifted out of the way
hydraulically when it is not required, eg for the final rolling
of the seedbed. The hydraulics also control the board's working
angle while a number of height positions can be selected for
all soil situations.
