Soil Loosening
V Form™ Soil Looseners
The offsetting of the tines allows them to run much closer achieving a complete movement of the soil across the working width of the frame, thereby intensifying the cultivation whilst still causing minimal surface disturbance. The rear attachment is an important feature of this machine, dispersing the suction from the tines into useful energy for crushing, levelling and depth control, resulting in no large clods, good moisture control and level surface finish.
Options:
- All models can be fitted with 'Original Level Lift Legs,' 'Quickfoot Legs,' new Micro Wing tines, double leg tines, or Step Change Low Disturbance.
- All rigid V-Form models are also available with Micro Wing or double leg tines cutting discs and Leg Zone Press option for rape seeding.

'Less' Lift - Low Disturbance
All aspects of the new Less Lift low disturbance loosener have been designed to cause minimal soil disturbance. Front cutting discs run ahead of the Step Change tine which has all soil-contacting faces running vertical to give neither downward pressure nor upward disturbance.
The rear Shark Fin roller has reduced surface disturbance by 30% while teeth have a closing action to the tine marked slot.

LESS lift
LESS mixing
LESS moisture loss
LESS fuel consumption
