SPADERS

Fast & Effective Cultivation

Imants Spading machines take care of your soil.

The rotating movement ensures an optimal mixing effect. Because of this you can incorporate clay thoroughly through the profile.

Since the spade take soil bites of 25 to 30cm (10-12inch) and pull these from the underlying soil layer, an impermeable disturbing layer is not created at the bottom, the so-called plow pan. This means the precipitation can penetrate into the deeper soil layers and replenish the groundwater. The good structure remains after the spading which not only allows water to penetrate, but also ensures a good oxygen level.

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 prserves most of the soil temperature.

“We have found our Imants spader with rippers in the front a true one pass machine. Having owned an opposition spader for a few years where we were having to pre-rip before spading in clayed or non-wetting sand country, this machine has saved us time and money by being able to do it in one pass. We also love the mixing ability of the Imants spader and have found it far superior to what we had in the past with far less wear on the spades as well. Nathans back up service and help has also been second to none”

Damien Schlink, Mt Howick, East Esperance

“Purchased the Imants spader for incorporating clay and couldn’t be happier with the results.”
