Cross Slot No-Tillage Systems

Cross Slot is the only known no-tillage technology and system in the world that arose from extensive, independent, published and peer-reviewed biological research.

A Brief introduction to the UK built Cross Slot. Please visit www.primewest.co.uk or www.crossslot.com for more information. Founded by jewellery makers and artisans Cross produce a wide collection of the highest quality fountain, ballpoint and rollerball pens and pencils. Overseeding is ideal if grass is tired or if a pasture has lost its vigour and needs rejuvenating, and is also as a way of introducing a different or more produ. We offer Cross-Slot Mushroom Machine Screws NFE 25-129 in a range of stock sizes from M4 to M10. Order today, track your order and receive your goods quickly with our speedy delivery service.

Cross Slot drills can increase crop yield. Tractors and combine harvesters can not!

Benefits

Yield depressions are rare - even in the first year

Yield increases are very likely - as new management skills are mastered

Reduces fuel use - by 50-75% (25-50% compared with minimum tillage)

Reduces labour - by up to 60%

Reduces time in the tractor seat by up to 50%

Reduces costs - by up to 50%

More hectares can be farmed with the same resources (= more profit)

Alternatively, more time is available for management or leisure

Machinery replacement and maintenance are less frequent

Reduces soil erosion wind and water

Stones are not brought to the surface they are progressively buried

Equipment breakages in stony soils are rare during tillage they are frequent

Reduces soil moisture loss - each tillage operation can loose 12-25 mm of water

Reduces irrigation frequency

Capital cost is similar to tillage but operating costs are much less

Builds soil organic matter tillage depletes organic matter

Reduces CO2 emissions into the atmosphere by several fold

Reduces soil compaction

Increases soil trafficability machinery and stock

Enables earlier grazing of new pastures from reduced treading and pulling damage

Cross Slot drills build the drill you need. No other no-tillage technology has ever out-performed Cross Slot!

Proven results on the farm from a unique partnership of biological science and engineering

Cross Slot Uk Coins

Benefits

Features several world-first functions that are simply not available elsewhere

Is recognized as state-of-the-art by international authorities

Creates horizontal slots only no-tillage opener to do so most others are vertical

Creates true low-disturbance no-tillage by replacing residues over the slot

Harnesses both liquid and vapour soil water to almost guarantee seedling emergence

Self-adjusts downforce to match soil hardness, thus maintaining seeding depth & cover

Is virtually unblockable in most residues, even by the heaviest yielding crops

Eliminates almost all hairpinning problems

Greatly reduces risks - biological, mechanical and financial

Bands fertilizer close to the seed with virtually no risk of seed burn

Cross Slot Corn

Outstanding crop & pasture yield responses up to 50%

Needs only a 1 - 4% yield response to justify its cost compared with cheaper options

NZ owners consistently report 95%+ success rates with crops and pastures

Cross Slot Uk Golf

Is the result of 30 years of internationally-published scientific research

Is designed in NZ, which has some of the most varied farming conditions in the world

Was designed by identifying and eliminating the failings of other no-tillage machines

Leaves stones buried not all no-tillage drills do this

Most functions are self-adjusting reducing dependency on skilled operators

Is deliberately robust to handle rough and steep surfaces without breakage

Operates well on slopes up to 45º

Has a minimum 10,000 hour (10 year) design life (similar to tractors)

Primewest manufactures 3, 4 and 5 metre no-till drills incorporating Cross Slot Technology. These are available with or without liquid fertiliser. In our experience a 3 metre drill will easily cope with drilling 1500 acres (600 hectares) a year with some spring cropping. We currently drill almost 3000 acres (1200 hectares) annually with our own 4 metre machine. Some of our clients who have the 5 metre drill are using this successfully as a replacement for an 8 metre conventional drill.

Our most popular machine specification has 21 openers on a 4 metre wide frame, with hydraulic control systems and sophisticated electronics including ADF and memory value functions. Additional optional extras can be ordered, including blocked-head monitors, Micro-granular hoppers, liquid fertiliser, work lights, tramlining kit, Michelin tyres, second side step, 3-point hitch with K80 ball, isocan monitor and wide row kit.

As well as providing you with the perfect no-till solution we offer all the usual after sales and parts service you would expect from a respected manufacturer.
