SUBSOILING TECHNIQUE
specification
• For working depths up
to 70 cm : SO 270
and SO 370
• The machine is
available in two body
form transformable to
three bodies.
• The beam is of a
simple and robust
construction.
• Subsoiler point made
from special steel with
a high wear and shock
resistance.
CHANGE IN SOIL STRUCTURE
Soils are lifted and loosened in breadth
and depth.
Maximum break-up of soil is achieved in dry
compacted soils. Such operations are
therefore, best carried out during the drier
periods in the year e.g. during harvest.
Breaks any plough pan present.
Allows crop roots to penetrate deeper and
thus increase drought resistance and
resistance to disease.
Improves soil drainage.
Improved soil water retention during dry
season. Greatly reduced risk of water
run-off during heavy rain.
Improves soil fertility.
By improving water penetration soil nutrients
are more easily available to the plant.
Moist soils heat up more easily during
Spring increasing in turn the development of
soil microbes beneficial to plant growth.

depth
The width of the soil area loosened
by the subsoiler is approximately
equal to twice the working depth.
During wet periods in flat areas,
before subsoiling, soils remain
saturated, cold and without air.
In hilly areas in soils which have
not been subsoiled, water run-off
carries away surface top soil.
SPECIFICATION
SO 270
Subsoiling permits water infiltration
and improved soil drainage.
Soil is better aerated and warms
rapidly.
Speed of plant growth is improved.
Improved soil and subsoil water
penetration with greater top soil
stability.

The SO 270 subsoiler plays an
important complementary role in the
soil cultivation process. Whist
improving the soil structure, the
subsoiler will also serve to substantially
reduce the effort needed to pull the
plough during subsequent cultivations.

ADDITIONAL ATTACHMENTS
Subsoiler wings
Drainage mole
Ditching equipment
The subsoiler wings greatly improve the
area shattered and increases the number of
soil fissures created.
This equipment comprises :
- One drainage point
- One mole drainer body
The sub-soiler can rapidly be transformed
into a soil drainage machine.
Drainage is a supplementary operation to
be carried out in conjunction with sub-soiling. Subsoiler draining can be used for
land improvement especially on wet clay
soils. This should be carried out to a preestablished drainage layout.
Can be used for various functions :
- Ditch digging,
- Land reclamation,
- Irrigation.
Weight of body alone : approx 38 kg.
In the European Union member states our material complies with the European Machinery Directive. In other countries it complies with the safety regulations in vigour in these countries. In our leaflets, to better illustrate certain details of the machine some safety devices could have been removed. Conforming to the assembly and operator’s manual, in no circumstances must machines be operated without these
in place. All machines are equipped with safety devices which comply with the regulations of the countries in which they are delivered. In the interest of progress, we reserve the right to change without notice any specifications, design or materials listed. Patents filed in several countries.
