Avatar 3.16 - 8.16 SD

Since 5 years we have been using the Avatar 6 SD on our 750 ha and our experiences are only positive. The heavy soils with a short rotation wheat/barley/rape encourage the development of weeds and black grass. To fight the black grass problem, we carry out a cultivation after the harvest to make the weeds emerge. Before sowing, the fields are treated with glyphosate. After that, the Avatar with the large single disc coulter is used. It moves only little soil while sowing and minimises further emergence of weeds. We noticed that with reduced tillage we can drive earlier on the fields after rain and that biodiversity increases. Moreover, we attach great importance to efficiency to be able to sow at the optimum time. With all these advantages the 6 m Avatar pays off quickly.
