They also have a John Deere Disc Planter with a variable rate airseeder Flexi-Coil aircart. “Last year (2020) was our first season using this machine and we couldn’t be happier.” Peter and Belinda invested in a K-Line Ag Speedtiller ® because of the one pass aspect and the machines ability to prepare the paddocks for an ideal seed bed.
After seeing a demo day in our local Gilgandra area during 2012, and researching better options to upgrade our offsets, we purchased an 8.5m Speedtiller ® , which we still have today. We upgraded the machine to the more efficient discs bearings setup in 2015. We believe this machine is a no-brainer. The Speedtiller ® is one pass machine and leaves the seed bed level like no other tilling machine. We go through one or two sets of discs every 12 months depending on the seasons as we cover of a lot of varied soil types and we do a lot of contracting acres. The purchase of the Maxxripper ® in January 2019 kept us busy even through the drought. It was a tough decision at the time, juggling finance with no cropping income, but it definitely paid off and the word is increasingly spreading with obvious positive results from the deep ripping.”

They also own a K-Line Maxxripper ® to break up
compacted paddocks, giving them new life and improving soil health. This in turns increases root biomass as the plants have more access to more nutrients, resulting in higher yields. “ In 2020, we deep ripped half of one paddock. We sowed wheat and by August/September the differences were so easy to see. The ripped side plants were so much bulkier, and the heads were larger, with more on the one plant.
