offers all the benefits associated
with the standard Pro-Til machine,
specifically, high leg clearance
enabling it to work with large
amounts of surface straw without
blockages, independent groundfollowing leading and seeding

models on display will be fitted
with the latest design springloaded pivoting discs which award
even better straw clearance than
before and a fertiliser placement
option behind the leading tine. The
units will also feature the new
electro-hydraulic drill management
system which offers full ISOBUS

integration and monitoring,
improved hydraulic efficiencies
and ease of use.
For farmers with a blackgrass or
slug problem, Mzuri will be
showcasing its Rezult straw rake.
Incorporating five rows of extralong 28” tines with optional
leading discs to chop surface
residue, the Rezult is an ideal tool
for p roducing light tilth, disturbing
the slug populations and chitting
the weeds prior to chemical
treatment.
Used as part of the wider soil
management strategy, the Mzuri
system can quickly improve soil
fertility and increase worm counts,
as only a narrow band of soil is
tilled leaving the previous crop
residue and straw on the surface
and the untilled soil structure
intact. Other benefits include
reduced soil compaction through
reduced traffic, better moisture
retention and improved drainage
which subsequently result in
significant financial savings and
improved yields.

APP & GO® to unlock optional
functions. In addition the TRACKGuide III can be upgraded to
enable Automatic Steering as an

inch touch terminal, TOUCH1200.
A TANK-Control can be added
