HE-VA Stealth LD Grassland Subsoiler

Amongst grassland and livestock farmers there is a growing demand for effective, low disturbance subsoiling to loosen and fracture the medium depth subsoil to relieve compaction, caused by poaching and vehicle damage, thus assisting drainage and water infiltration, aeration, nitrogen uptake and encouraging grass rooting.

The Stealth – a medium depth, low disturbance grassland subsoiler.

The Stealth’s low disturbance legs are staggered in 2 rows to reduce soil squeeze and improve flow. This also helps maintain a lower HP requirement. Leg spacing is standard at 500mm but can be altered to 450mm, 500mm or 550mm, adding versatility for differing soil types and conditions.

The hardened cast steel low disturbance points are tungsten tipped and 120mm wide creating the necessary lift and shatter whilst ensuring longevity. Similarly, the 15mm Hardox leg is designed to give strength and durability whilst keeping soil movement on the surface to a minimum.

Surface compaction can be alleviated to a maximum working depth of 300mm (12”). HE-VA’s standard hydraulic depth control is fully adjustable from the tractor seat.

The Stealth was designed to satisfy the requirements of no till and reduced input farming systems, however, it is also suitable for use in livestock and grassland farming systems where farmers are looking to alleviate compacted layers in the soil, thus reducing water runoff and improving drainage along with air and nutrient movement throughout the profile which in turn increases sward productivity.

The Stealth is available as a 3m, 3.5m, 4m, 5m and 6m mounted or 5m, 6m and 7m trailed machine. Machines over 3.5m fold hydraulically.
