In addition to the variable inter-row setting, the Select series P 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 tines to ensure a clean strip of friable soil and excellent seed depth control and reconsolidating wheels behind each tine for perfect seed to soil contact.

David King Electronics can offer solutions for retrofit for all budgets. he controllers are manufactured by German Company by MüllerElektronik and range from the SPRAYLIGHT for simple trailed and mounted sprayers, to the TRACK-Guide II and TRACK-Guide III through to full ISOBUS compatible solutions for more complex mounted, trailed and selfpropelled sprayers. Starting at the lower end of the price range is the SPRAYLIGHT terminal providing up to 7 boom section settings with a main switch enabling start of work at the touch of a button, and up to 4 hydraulic functions. The display shows pressure, speed, flow rate, area worked, total area worked and tank contents. Moving up the price scale, GPS guidance terminal TRACK-GUIDE II can be used as part of an integrated sprayer control system. With software option activated the terminal can be used as an ISOBUS terminal. Other software options include SECTION-Control to switch machine sections using GPS and VRC for variable rate T www.farmingmonthly.co.uk 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.

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. using shape files.
