BreakMix Subsoiling Point, a Väderstad Innovation

Väderstad presents the new BreakMix point

The new BreakMix point combines the benefits of subsoiling with very intensive mixing.

This point is an exclusive Väderstad innovation, increasing versatility and bringing numerous agronomic benefits to a farm.

?This new and unique Väderstad BreakMix point very effectively breaks up deeply compacted soils, while providing intense mixing of residues in the topsoil layer?, explains Magnus Samuelsson, Concept Developer at Väderstad, and adds: ?BreakMix increases versatility, reduces input costs and, above all, improves farmers' agronomic results.?

The BreakMix point is designed for primary or secondary tillage on farms with heavy soils at risk of compaction.

?Thanks to its unique design, the BreakMix point combines the benefits of mixing the topsoil with breaking up surface crusting or compaction down to 30cm? adds Magnus Samuelsson.

Since bacteria and fungi are more active in the topsoil, we want to mix the residues in the first 10 of the soil for faster decomposition.

As the BreakMix point does not mix deeply, it does not bring clods of soil up to the surface.

Deep breaking eliminates compaction and surface crusting, while allowing water to move both toward the surface and deeper down.

The BreakMix point is made of Marathon metal. This ensures an extremely long working life. Väderstad gave a preview of the BreakMix point at Agritechnica 2017.

It will be available for all Väderstad tined cultivation implements from May 2018.
