Strip-Till 8
SAMSON Strip-Till's workflow is functional and extremely precise. The slurry is placed in two lines: approx. 30 % in an upper and approx. 70 % in a lower slurry line.
The width of the tillage area is 25-30 cm, the working depth 20-30 cm, and 75 cm between rows is standard, but can be adjusted. The distance between crop and slurry is approx. 5-7 cm. The precise placing of slurry using the SAMSON Strip-Till ensures high utilisation of nutrients in the slurry throughout the growing season.
The Strip-Till’s front drum with the disc first cuts a groove. The two cleaning wheels efficiently remove any plant material in the tillage area and the unique parabolic disc stand lifts up the soil and creates a V-shaped opening in the soil with sufficient space for the slurry. The slurry nozzles place the slurry in two lines. The disc then levels and closes the soil surface again and the packing wheels leave
behind a fine surface.
The precise placing of slurry with the new SAMSON Strip-Till not only reduces the amount of starter fertilizer, it also gives you an efficient tool that complies with new phosphorus rules and maintains a high yield.

Due to legislations via nitrate directives, water framework directives etc. distribution of phosphorus in fertilizers is gaining significant more attention. Some European countries and regions have legislation restricting phosphorus fertilization. This has an impact on the amount of phosphorus available on each farm, why starter fertilizer for maize from natural sources has high advantages.
Precise application of slurry as start fertilizer for maize has in Denmark and Germany showed higher yield potentials in public trials.
The spring damped trash wheels moves residue from previous crops away from the seedbed.
This gives the SAMSON Strip-Till advantages as soil-drying and warming benefits, reduced weed pressure and advantages from conventional tillage.
Independent hydraulic row suspension ensures a precise and robust depth control of each row.
This has a high influence on the excellent distribution precision of the SAMSON Strip-Till.
Furthermore, all rows are raised and lowered automatically in the headland when mounted on a SAMSON slurry tanker, which insures high ground clearance in headland as well as transport mode
Adjust depth wheels without tools.
Packing wheels create a homogeneous seedbed, closes the strip and crumbles the soil.
To prevent undesirable breakdowns and enhance tine safety, the SAMSON Strip-Till is equipped with hydraulic stone release function for each row individually.
The vertical distributor can be fitted with a hydraulic gate valve that empty the stone trap more practical. The valve can also be fitted with an Auto-close function.
The vertical distributor has a stone trap integrated, which protects the distributor. The stone trap can be emptied via the hydraulic gate valve which can also be fitted with an automatic closing function.
