RotoSeeder in Action

As you might remember this is our newest 'farm toy'. The MulchTec-RotoSeeder combines a reversing rototiller with an air seeder unit. Rear and front rollers enable precise height guidance.

We use this machine for a number of things:
- False seedbed cultivation
- Bed preparation
- Sowing cover crops
- Terminating cover crops

What we especially like: we can establish cover crops in the presence of crop and mulch residues while keeping the residue at the surface with pretty minimal soil disturbance.
The machine cultivates precisely at very shallow depths. The seed hopper has two compartments, allowing for different plants to be sown in different sections of the bed.
The angle at which the knives hit the soil means that no compacted cultivation pan is created.

In the photo you can see us terminating a buckwheat cover crop by tilling 25 mm deep.

We will spread silage mulch and plant autumn cabbage here very soon. 👩‍🌾
