STRIP-TILL TECHNOLOGY

Cultivate only the seed strip

ST series cultivators are built to work without compromise. Instead of disturbing the entire field surface, you loosen only one third of the soil. This delivers substantial savings across the whole farm.

ST working section

6 steps to plant growth

One pass. Six perfectly synchronised working zones.

1
Step 1

Clearing and tearing discs

They clear the soil strip of crop residue and mulch, preparing the ideal space for the following components to work.

ST working-section component: Clearing and tearing discs
2
Step 2

Wavy cutting coulter

It cuts the soil to a depth of 12 cm and lets the tine enter as non-invasively as possible, preventing the machine from clogging.

Step 3

Vertical loosening and aerating tine

It works to a depth of 35 cm; its shape causes no soil-mixing effect, preserving the natural capillary structure and protecting moisture.

Step 4

Fertiliser application nozzle

It ensures precise placement of one or two types of fertiliser across the entire profile of the loosened soil in the root-development zone.

Step 5

Closing and gathering discs

They keep a loose layer of soil inside the cultivated strip, preventing moisture loss from the deeper layers.

Step 6

Off-set tyre roller

It effectively compacts the soil and levels its surface. The off-set system (wheel offset) eliminates clogging and reduces draft requirement.

CONSTRUCTION

Engineered to work without compromise

Four design solutions that determine the quality of ST work — expand each item to learn more.

Provides stability in the field position and safe road transport for a machine of this size.

Three operations in one pass

ST cultivators are designed to work with the dedicated PS coulter drill attachment or precision planters from leading third-party manufacturers.

  1. 1. Loosening

    down to 35 cm in the soil profile.

  2. 2. Fertiliser placement

    at two depths in the root development zone.

  3. 3. Seed drilling

    with the PS attachment (wheat, peas, oilseed rape) or an external precision planter (maize, beet).

  • you need a wide machine (up to 6 m) with uncompromising output
  • you want one machine to handle the entire crop rotation
  • you have a tractor from 200 hp to over 400 hp

What the ST series offers:

  • 3900–4900 l hopper (60/40 or 40/60 fertiliser/seed split)
  • continuously adjustable spacing (4 to 16 row units)
  • 20–35 cm working depth
  • Ø 102.5 cm tyre packer and 2 electric metering units
  • pneumatic braking system and cameras (1–4 units)

ST FOR ONIONS

Sowing onions with the Czajkowski ST

Strip-till technology with the Czajkowski ST can also be used for onion cultivation. Watch onion sowing in this video from Czajkowski Strip Till.

The prepared strips must align with the row layout and configuration of the onion seeder. Specific spacing and equipment are agreed when selecting the configuration.

GRANTS AND ECO-SCHEMES

Strip-till that can also earn through grants

Strip-till is not only about lower costs — it is a practice supported by EU agricultural schemes. When properly accounted for, it can further improve the return on an ST investment.

Eco-schemes — carbon farming

Strip-till supports simplified cultivation practices under carbon-farming and nutrient-management eco-schemes.

Machinery purchase support

A modern cultivator may qualify under interventions supporting farm modernisation. We can help prepare the technical specification.

CAP objectives

Lower emissions, protection of soil structure and reduced erosion help strip-till support the environmental goals of the Common Agricultural Policy.

Rates, scoring and application rounds change every year. Check current conditions with the relevant paying agency or an agricultural adviser — we will help match the ST configuration to programme requirements.

ASK AN ADVISOR ABOUT CURRENT PROGRAMMES

Proven in the field

Hear from farmers operating ST machines on the largest acreages in Poland and abroad.

We switched from conventional cultivation to ST 450. Across a thousand hectares, the time and fuel savings are worth hundreds of thousands of zlotys.

Jan, 1100 ha

cereals, rapeseed, maize

I needed a machine for the whole rotation. My stepless ST 600 handles rapeseed, soybeans and sunflower with one attachment.

We provide services to large farms. Customers see the difference in emergence, and we see it in our finances. The durability of the working parts is outstanding.

19 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

"I built the machine I needed myself"

ST machines were not created in a design office detached from reality. They arose from the need to optimise costs on my own large farm. Years of field testing gave me confidence that I am offering equipment that simply works and earns its keep.
