SUMO GLS Subsoiler

100-250HP          2.3-2.8m              Upto 350mm depth

The UK's leading GLS Grassland Subsoiler / Sward Lifter

Improving and revitalising compacted grassland that is suffering from the effects of continual heavy machinery, livestock and rainfall is key in growing nutritious animal feed.

The GLS Grassland Subsoiler is designed to alleviate subsoil compaction by opening the soil profile and improving drainage and airflow without negatively affecting the sward. The drainage helps surface water drain away more quickly while oxygen in the rooting zone has significant impact on plant growth when used in the right conditions.

The GLS Grassland Subsoiler offers cost savings through labour, fuel, inputs, machine wear and tear, and a better bottom line as a result of improved soil structure and a better grassland environment.

The GLS can be transformed into an arable low disturbance subsoiler with new legs and points, too. This machine can then be used as a one-pass drill with the addition of seeder and SDO Single Disc Opener accessories - ideal for cover cropping and oil seed rape crop establishment due to the zonal strip-till design.

Agronomic benefit of each working part of the machine.

Front cutting discs

A 18" straight serrated leading disc initiates a rip line for the following leg ensuring a clean entry and substantially reducing the germination of grassweeds. This method reduces the reliance on chemical treatments that are leached into watercourses. By removing competition, grass can establish more vigorously, too.

Low disturbance legs

Working down to 350mm if needed, the legs are designed to produce minimal disturbance. This setup creates a shattering effect in the lower soil profile, allowing roots to penetrate and oxygen to percolate through, rejuvenating the grassland environment.

Packer roller

At the back of the GLS, our Flat Packer comes as standard. This packer leaves an aerated, consolidated, and level finish which will aid surface aeration and surface penetration of water. The fins ensure the packer turns to stop soil smear. This packer closes up the surface after the legs to leave the soil largely undisturbed.
