Cost-Saving Innovations in Stubble Management
One of the standout features of Kelly Tillage equipment is its remarkable ability to manage stubble efficiently. The unique disc chains are engineered to chop and split the toughest residue, accelerating decomposition and leaving a protective layer of topsoil. This process not only improves soil health but also significantly reduces labour and fuel costs. By preparing fields early in the season, farmers can enhance organic matter and soil structure, ultimately boosting productivity and profitability.
Effective Weed Control with Reduced Chemical Usage
Kelly Tillage Harrows are also at the forefront of innovative and cost-effective weed control. The advanced CL2 discs, renowned for their aggressiveness, deliver exceptional results in managing weeds and maintaining paddocks. By reducing the reliance on herbicides, farmers can cut down on operating costs and mitigate the risk of herbicide resistance. This dual approach of mechanical and minimal chemical intervention is a game-changer in sustainable farming.
Creating the Ideal Seedbed
A smooth and even seedbed is crucial for planting efficiency and seed cost savings. Kelly Tillage equipment excels in creating optimal seedbed conditions that promote consistent germination and early plant growth. By maintaining soil moisture and even density, Kelly Harrows ensures that your planting equipment remains undamaged and seeding is precise. This leads to uniform crop establishment and enhanced yields.
Enhancing Pasture and Cover Crop Seeding
Cover crops play a vital role in reducing mineral leaching, preventing soil compaction, and minimising erosion. Kelly Harrows are adept at establishing cover crops by breaking down stubble, mixing topsoil, and applying seed mixes—all in a single pass. Kelly’s integrated air seeder units streamline this process, allowing for quick and accurate pasture establishment. At the end of the season, these harrows efficiently mulch the cover crops back into the soil, preparing it for the next cycle.
Sustainable Farming for the Future
Sustainability is at the core of Kelly Tillage’s philosophy. By reducing the need for chemical inputs and enhancing soil health, our equipment supports eco-friendly farming practices. The increased organic matter and improved soil structure not only benefit current crops but also contribute to long-term soil sustainability. Farmers using Kelly Tillage Harrows can achieve higher productivity while preserving the environment for future generations.
