Vaderstad TopDown Brochure - LiveUpdater

The tines on TopDown can be equipped with threedifferent types of points – 50, 80 or 120 mm wide. Thetwo wider points can also be complemented with 300Two strategies with TopDownmm wide wing shares. This provides a range of tillagepossibilities based on two main strategies. TheTopDown is as standard equipped with 80 mm points.1. Wide wings cut …For shallow and normal tillage, the points are used with the wing shares fitted.They produce a soil profile that is completely tilled and aerated since the angleof the wing shares raises the soil up. The advantage of this operation is thatroots of e.g. couchgrass are cut off. At the same time, the entire soil volume ismixed together with harvest trash down to tillage depth.2. Deep grooves drain…For deep tillage, the narrower points are used without wing shares. When tillageis mainly being carried out to loosen and to break up a pan, then this alternativecomes into its own. The soil profile left by the tines is a landscape of hillsand valleys. Where the tine points have etched their pattern, excess water canrun off from the soil profile.
