In today’s reality of high input costs and low commodity prices, proper soil preparation is of the utmost importance. In order to make effective decisions, it is important that producers keep abreast of the latest soil tillage technologies. This is especially true when you consider that, depending on the texture and topography, soil preparation involves a lot more than just hours of physical labour. The fact of the matter is that the wrong implement can increase the risk of erosion and even contribute towards crop failure.
Amazone’s range of soil cultivating equipment bears testament to German precision and boasts a legacy of innovation and technology. The range furthermore offers the market everything from entry level solutions through to the most advanced mechanised technology available. In short: Amazone promises to take the stress out of soil preparation.
