Optimising Tyne Setup- Rethinking Ripping for Better ROI
Manage episode 459913859 series 3381833
Join Tanja Morgan and Research Engineer Dr Chris Saunders from University of South Australia's, Agricultural Machinery Research and Design Center, as they discuss field trial work aimed at improving soil amelioration efficiency.
This episode explores the second year of trials focusing on tine configurations, power requirements, and fuel efficiency with drought conditions in 2024 highlighting the gains that can be made from overcoming soil constraints.
Chris and Tanja discuss how different setups can help farmers save costs, enhance productivity, and address soil constraints effectively, particularly in sandy soils.
