SECONDARY CULTIVATION

Our Approach to Secondary Cultivation

Secondary cultivation is about refining the groundwork already established — incorporating residues, levelling the surface, and creating a firm, even seedbed that drills cleanly and holds moisture.​​

​​

Our Toolkit

​

• Lemken Rubin 10 (6 m) disc cultivator – Featuring two rows of aggressive cultivating and mixing discs, levelling paddles, and a double press, the Rubin delivers a consistent finish in one efficient pass. From trash incorporation to final seedbed preparation, it’s fast, versatile, and particularly effective in stony conditions — helping to prevent fresh stones from being brought to the surface.

​​

• Köckerling Allrounder Profi Line 600 – A versatile and powerful cultivator designed for precision secondary cultivation and seedbed preparation. With its wide working width, adjustable tine configuration, and robust levelling system, it delivers exceptional mixing, levelling, and consolidation across a range of soil types. When combined with our trailed Cambridge roller, the Allrounder achieves a refined surface finish and consistent seedbed structure ideal for optimum crop establishment.​
