Spading is more than just turning the soil More than 60 years of experience with spading machines is something Imants can look back on. From that experience we learned spading is more than just turning soil. Much more, in fact. Spading means mixing organic material with the living topsoil, incorporating crop residues and creating a seedbed, mixing green manure so it can be broken down into nutrients for the next crop. The rotating movement of the spade shaft with spades ensures an optimal mixing effect. Because of this, crop residues, manure, compost or green manure can be mixed with the soil...

Retention of soil temperature Because spading machines do not form a hard pan in the soil, capillary action remains intact, so rising groundwater can reach the roots of plants when they need it. During spading, the subsoil is mixed, but not completely turned over. This preserves most of the soil temperature, reducing the time it takes for the soil to warm up. This results in faster germination. Level seedbed With an Imants spading machine, the soil can be made ready for sowing or planting in 1 pass. The deeper soil layers are given time enough to warm up as the plants grow. With an Imants rotary...

DEEPER TILLAGE Subsoiling, yes or no? SX Series The SX-Series has a minimum working depth of 15 cm (6”), with a maximum of 35 cm (14”). The blades loosen the soil over the entire working width and mix manure, green manure or plant residues through the most biologically active part of the soil. What finish would you like to have? Driven power harrow The Imants 38FSX and 58 series spading machines can be equipped with a driven power harrow. This harrow breaks up the top layer and ensures a fine and even seedbed. It is the ideal roller for sandy and loamy soils. Image of the 38FSX Spading axle Ringroller...

HIGH CAPACITY Why tool carriers? The present time makes the demand for larger capacity increasingly important. Through a higher working speed or a larger working width, it is possible to obtain this greater capacity. However, this makes the tools heavier and often they cannot be lifted in the 3-point linkage of the tractor or they do not comply with road traffic laws. Tractor with a 450 cm (177”) wide rigid subsoiler. Shown with 58SX spading machine with ringroller. Imants has therefore developed a tool carrier. Thereby, if desired, a (folding) subsoiler beam can be mounted on the implement carrier...

NON-FOLDABLE TRAILED SPADING M ACHINE Trailed spading machines choices and specifications NON-FOLDABLE Working width 300, 366 or 450 cm 10, 12 or 15 ft. The construction of the non-folding trailed spading machine. As mentioned earlier, the tool carrier can be equipped with a subsoiler beam and/or a spading machine. Imants offers you 2 options; the non-folding or rigid options (with working widths of 300, 366 or 450 cm (10, 12 or 15 feet) and the folding options (with working widths of 450 or 600 cm (15 or 20 feet) ). In this section, we discuss the rigid, non-folding version of the tool carrier....

The working depth is very easy to adjust to a maximum of 50 cm (20”). CAN BE EQUIPPED WITH VARIOUS WEIGHT SE...

PRACTICAL EXAMPLES RIGID SUBSOILER TOOL CARRIER To point out the differences between current tillage methods and Imants tillage methods in terms of capacity and finance, we developed the ImCal app (see page 26 for more information). On our trailed models there is the possibility to attach an implement by means of a drawbar. You can think of a trailing roller, a tire packer or a seeder. As you can see, there are many possibilities, so be well advised by an Imants advisor.

FOLDING TRAILED SPADING M ACHINE The construction of the folding trailed spading machine. In this section, we take a closer look at the tool carrier with folding options. More specifically, the combination with the folding trailed spading machine, 38FSX. This spading machine is available in working widths of 450 or 600 cm (15 or 20 feet), but when folded up, the machine is no wider than 3 meters (10 ft.), making it compliant with the Road Traffic Act, RDW (Dutch) and TÜV (German). The tool carrier with folding subsoiler beam comes standard with this spading machine, but because there is a category...

The tool carrier with foldable subsoiler has the advantage that, when folded, the transport width is less than 3 meters and is therefore approved for road transport. In combination with the 38FSX spading machine, everything falls within 3 meters (10 ft.)....

PRACTICAL EXAMPLES TOOL CARRIER WITH FOLDABLE SUBSOILER The 38FSX can be equipped with different brands of seeders or other implements. Share your wishes and preferences with us and work with your Imants advisor to find the appropriate spading machine combination to meet these needs.
