The Great Plains Simba UniPress is a
versatile implement designed to perform an
excellent shallow cultivation combined with
effective consolidation. It may be towed
on its own or in tandem behind another
implement e.g. disc cultivator.
It can be used in reduced tillage systems
behind a disc cultivator to incorporate stubble
or to work down ploughing on medium
to heavy soil types. Like all Great Plains
machines it features the latest innovations
which combine to give an efficient, well-built
unit with unrivalled reliability.
The Simba UniPress consists of two rows
of sprung tines followed by a hydraulically
operated levelling board then a row of press
rings.
The levelling board consists of a series of
sprung leaves with each leaf set between
each roll ring. The levelling board carries
soil ahead of the rings to fill low areas. The
sprung leaves crush clods as they pass
under the levelling board and align clods
with the press rings.
The use of the Simba UniPress in tandem
with a disc cultivator for straw incorporation,
is to consolidate the straw soil mix through
the soil profile ensuring maximum straw soil
contact to increase the breakdown process,
minimise slug problems and to leave a firm
weatherproof finish.
