Landplane was developed to prepare paddocks for re-sowing.
The Farmax Landplane is a clever implement with many uses on farm.
Since 2017, more than 80 units have been sold throughout New Zealand.
Designed by a Dargaville farmer, the Landplane was developed to prepare paddocks for resowing, utilising a design that cuts at the front and levels at the rear.
The result removes any high points and fills any hollows to create a regular surface ready for drilling or over-seeding with the minimum of passes.
Advantages include minimal soil disturbance and conservation of the soil profile, alongside time-savings in labour, tractor hours and downtime from crop to crop.
The manufacturer says customers are also reporting increased growth rates and significantly less pugging later, due to the minimal disturbance of the soil.
Said to be a versatile piece of equipment, Landplane can also be used for farm track maintenance, clearing and levelling drain tailings, silage stack levelling, reducing hillside cattle ruts, and general cultivation and contouring.
Landplane is a costeffective alternative to an expensive scoop, features a double-bevelled blade meaning a simple turn over when one side loses its sharpness.
Suited for tractors of 45hp or more and utilising a hydraulic top link, for more details visit www.farmshop.co.nz/products/farmshop-landplane.
