To guarantee the same depth across the whole working width, the EL BIOMULCH rotary tiller has 4 gauge wheels to ensure optimum stability and uniformity when doing shallow work. High work output is ensured with forward speeds of up to 10 km/h. New blades with a 95° curve have been developed to reduce soil smearing. These new blades have excellent soil/plant-debris mixing capacities to produce fine mulch.
The soil and plant-residue mix, created when you till the top few centimetres of the plot (3 à 6 cm), and also known as surface composting, intensifies the transformation of residues into organic matter. It makes excellent fertiliser for your soil and increases its biodiversity by enriching it with living organisms and compost. The hydraulic adjustment system of the rear hood gives you perfect control of soil crumbling and mixing in any conditions. The 4 front gauge wheels give you control of working depth, on any type of plot, to obtain perfect output. By adopting this innovative cultivation method to make your soil more fertile, carbon is retained more easily in your land as well as in the vegetation, and this reduces your carbon footprint and contributes to decreasing carbon dioxide (CO²) in the atmosphere. In addition, you give your crops great soil conditions and higher resistance to disease and pests.
Destroy your cover crops and grassland, plough surface stubble, mix in organic fertiliser… the new EL BIOMULCH rotary tiller is atruly multi-purpose implement. Owing to its multiple usage possibilities, the EL BIOMULCH rotary tiller will quickly become the most versatile tillage machine on your farm.
As an effective alternative to herbicides, the EL BIOMULCH rotary tiller excels in mechanical weeding. With a working depth of 3 to
6 cm, even the toughest weed roots are cut. Weeds are kept under control using fewer inputs. Min-till methods are perfectly compatible with organic farming.
Put your EL BIOMULCH rotary tiller to work with the BP 305 PRO shredder (front-mounted) to manage extremely dense plant cover.
It’s the perfect combination for destroying mature plant cover. Farmers use this combination in 1 to 1.5 m-high plant cover, no problem. This comprehensive solution also contributes to reducing your carbon footprint as well as your fuel bill and it saves you time by taking care of two operations in one pass.
The new EL BIOMULCH rotary tiller has been designed to mix fresh residues into the soil at shallow depths of 3 to 6 cm, and at working speeds of up to 10 kph. This method produces mulch composed of plant debris and fine soil in the top few centimetres of the plot, and greatly accelerates the decomposition and transformation of plant cover into organic matter. This technique, known as “biofumigation”, boosts the decomposition of cover plants by increasing the rate of organic matter in the soil while preserving biological activity; its the worms in the ground that break the organic matter down and carry it to all of the layers in the soil.
The new EL BIOMULCH rotary tiller is equipped with the DUPLEX gearbox designed for heavy-duty applications. The gear sets can be inverted to adapt rotor speed as required: just-the-right crumbling in any soil type, light or hard. And a torque limiting slip clutch provides maximum protection against impact and excessive loads.
