Cross Slot Uk
No-Till.uk Manufacturers information
Cross Slot is a proven No-Till planting technology used successfully in over 20 countries around the world, 10 states and Canada. The planters are now being manufactured in Appleton WI for the North and South American markets.
Cross Slot No-Tillage Systems
Cross Slot is the only known no-tillage technology and system in the world that arose from extensive, independent, published and peer-reviewed biological research.
- A new viscoelastic benchmark flow: Stationary bifurcation in.
- The only known no-tillage technology and system in the world that arose from extensive, independent, published and peer-reviewed biological research. Cross Slot is the only true Ultra-low disturbance (ULD) no-tillage system available worldwide!
Increasing yield results in more profit than decreasing costs
Cross Slot drills can increase crop yield. Tractors and combine harvesters can not!
Benefits
Yield depressions are rare - even in the first year
Yield increases are very likely - as new management skills are mastered
Reduces fuel use - by 50-75% (25-50% compared with minimum tillage)
Reduces labour - by up to 60%
Reduces time in the tractor seat by up to 50%
Reduces costs - by up to 50%
More hectares can be farmed with the same resources (= more profit)
Alternatively, more time is available for management or leisure
Machinery replacement and maintenance are less frequent
Reduces soil erosion wind and water
Stones are not brought to the surface they are progressively buried
Equipment breakages in stony soils are rare during tillage they are frequent
Reduces soil moisture loss - each tillage operation can loose 12-25 mm of water
Reduces irrigation frequency
Capital cost is similar to tillage but operating costs are much less
Builds soil organic matter tillage depletes organic matter
Reduces CO2 emissions into the atmosphere by several fold
Reduces soil compaction
Increases soil trafficability machinery and stock
Enables earlier grazing of new pastures from reduced treading and pulling damage
Cross Slot drills build the drill you need. No other no-tillage technology has ever out-performed Cross Slot!
Proven results on the farm from a unique partnership of biological science and engineering
Benefits
Features several world-first functions that are simply not available elsewhere
Is recognized as state-of-the-art by international authorities
Creates horizontal slots only no-tillage opener to do so most others are vertical
Creates true low-disturbance no-tillage by replacing residues over the slot
Harnesses both liquid and vapour soil water to almost guarantee seedling emergence
Self-adjusts downforce to match soil hardness, thus maintaining seeding depth & cover
Is virtually unblockable in most residues, even by the heaviest yielding crops
Eliminates almost all hairpinning problems
Greatly reduces risks - biological, mechanical and financial
Bands fertilizer close to the seed with virtually no risk of seed burn
Cross Slot Uk National Lottery
Outstanding crop & pasture yield responses up to 50%
Needs only a 1 - 4% yield response to justify its cost compared with cheaper options
Cross Slot Usa
NZ owners consistently report 95%+ success rates with crops and pastures
Is the result of 30 years of internationally-published scientific research
Is designed in NZ, which has some of the most varied farming conditions in the world
Was designed by identifying and eliminating the failings of other no-tillage machines
Leaves stones buried not all no-tillage drills do this
Most functions are self-adjusting reducing dependency on skilled operators
Is deliberately robust to handle rough and steep surfaces without breakage
Operates well on slopes up to 45ยบ
Has a minimum 10,000 hour (10 year) design life (similar to tractors)
