Tillage Tillage

Market development in the segment of tillage technology correlates with trends in the whole agricultural technology sector and represents a market volume of about 10 % including drilling / sowing technology. Segments of tillage and drilling technology are similar in volume. Processes of tillage are more and more integrated into the whole process line. Latest machine developments demonstrate this trend. The combination of tillage with drilling within a single machine is practiced for quite some time. For an improved sanitation it is currently tested to integrate stubble management in the process line. Technological trends are modular, platform based set-ups to improve flexibility in the adaption of implements and machines to requirements and decrease manufacturing costs. Furthermore a clear trend to automation is arising. The first ISOBUS controlling for a plough performs, by the way of example, the adjustment and operation of the implement before and during processing in the field.
