Standalone Flexibility or PlantMax Integration

The two-bladed Subsoiler can be used as part of a PlantMax system, but it is also available as a standalone product for companies looking to improve their soil preparation without investing in a complete mechanized planting system.

Subsoiler

Designed to improve planting conditions

The Subsoiler works by penetrating the soil with two heavy-duty blades, creating deep, narrow channels through compacted or dense ground. Loosening the soil at depth significantly improves root penetration, water infiltration, and access to available nutrients.

Adjustable Depth Control

The working depth can be easily adjusted to suit different soil and site conditions. The working depth can be set between 300–600 mm.

Built for Large Areas

With two blades and a working width of 2,600–3,500 mm, the Subsoiler is engineered for efficient soil preparation over large areas. Its robust construction ensures reliable operation in demanding conditions.

Fertilizer Cost Savings

The Subsoiler can also distribute fertilizer intermittently directly at the planting spot, thereby saving up to 70 percent of fertilizer costs.

The Subsoiler was originally developed for dry Brazilian conditions and quickly proved its worth in the heavily compacted soils of South America, where demand was high from the outset. However, it is an equally powerful solution for any forestry operation worldwide facing similar conditions.
