Rake & Roll

TILLSO Rake & Roll: by combing the Straw Rake with Simba's Aqueel 2 roller, Tillso creates a multi-purpose machine with a range of benefits:

• Straw Spreading
• Weed control in stubbles
• Improved slug control
• Enhanced rolling – seedbed finishing; herbicides
• Establishment of cover crops, grass, and OSR
• Erosion prevention and water saving

• Easier following cultivations & drilling, especially, for reduced pass (mintil) systems
• Minimise concentration of straw & chaff whichleads to inconsistent seedbeds and emergence
• Assists precise straw spreading

• Resistant blackgrass dormancy is affected by conditions at seed maturation:  
• hot/dry = low dormancy; cool/damp = high dormancy
• UV light helps to break dormancy: early burial & straw mats do not

Weed Control:

• Fast stale seedbeds at low cost & high output
• Keep pace with the combine
• Surface seeds benefit from UV light to break dormancy
• Can supplement pressing when cultivating

Rake & Roll hasthe proven benefits of the self-cleaning Simba Aqueel® roller:

• allows surface consolidation to reduce slug activity
• rolling window increased: can start sooner after rain & runs in damper conditions
• indenting teeth consolidate deeper than just the surface

• The Rake's subtle tine effect assists fine seedbed production thorough levelling and tilth creation    
• Adjustment of tine angle to suit conditions and requirements
• Roller gives precise depth control of Rake tines

• An ideal platform for establishing cover crops, grass and OSR:
• Following a subsoiler/cultivator
• As a stand-alone machine

• Wind erosion- surface roughness reduces surface wind effect 
• Water run-off reduced by holding on surface for infiltration
• Indentations hold water even when rolling down slope
• Capping reduced by surface undulations
