Trio – Combination Cultivator
The Trio is a combination cultivator for deep loosening, residue mixing and reconsolidation before crop establishment. Staggered straight legs work ahead of two rows of serrated concave discs, with a Multipacka roller finishing the surface. Mounted and trailed versions serve different tractor and field requirements. It is a relevant option where a compacted stubble field also needs surface tilth, rather than seed placement alone. For an on-farm evaluation, compare the soil profile before and after a pass and inspect residue incorporation and the finish available to the following drill. That gives a farmer or contractor a concrete basis for deciding whether the combined operation fits the existing cultivation sequence.

DD – Direct Drill
The DD is a dedicated direct drill for placing seed into stubble or cover crops with minimal soil disturbance. Leading discs and low-disturbance openers handle residues, while press wheels and packers consolidate around the seed; hydraulic depth adjustment and fertiliser-placement options support different establishment requirements. The range includes mounted and trailed machines, with hopper and row arrangements varying by model. For a farm moving away from a cultivation-led sequence, a useful field evaluation would open several seed slots across a representative pass, checking depth consistency, residue interference and soil-to-seed contact. Those observations help establish whether the selected configuration can deliver the intended crop placement under that farm’s conditions.
