Seedbed Preparation Machinery Hire

Creating the right seedbed provides the foundation for successful crop establishment. The aim is to produce conditions that provide good seed-to-soil contact, retain moisture and allow consistent establishment while avoiding unnecessary soil movement.

The machinery required can vary considerably depending on soil type, previous cultivation, weather conditions and the crop being established.

AMTEC Hire provides a range of machinery for seedbed preparation, including power harrows, presses, rolls and other cultivation equipment.

Hiring allows farmers to select machinery according to the conditions rather than being restricted to the equipment already sitting in the machinery shed. This can be particularly valuable during difficult seasons when soils require a different approach from normal.

Additional machinery can also help increase capacity during short weather windows, allowing ground to be prepared and drilling to continue while conditions remain suitable.

Seedbed preparation equipment can be used following ploughing or reduced cultivation systems and can form part of either a separate-pass or combined establishment approach.

If you need additional machinery to prepare land ahead of drilling, speak to AMTEC Hire about your soil conditions, previous cultivation and the finish you're trying to achieve.
