For more than 17 years Rovic Leers have been the distributor in Southern Africa for the tough range of ‘Yeomens’ pasture renovator ploughs from Australia. This robust, versatile plough, with its ease and simplicity in operation has made a positive mark in the rehabilitation of pastures in South Africa. The two models imported to S.A. (5 & 7 tine) are ideally suited for tractors from 75 to 120kw. The Yeomens 22” tine fitted to the frame has a Ø12.7mm shear pin fitted to ensure a tip break force between 3 and 3.5 tons. This, coupled with a strong 16” coulter fitted in front of each tine, will enable the tine to rip through the toughest of soils at a maximum working depth of 300mm. The unique design of the frame also allows for a variable spacing ranging from 300 to 500mm. The primary function of the plough is to increase fertility and productivity of the soil through sub-soiling. In cropping lands where hardpans have formed, the tine easily fractures these pans allowing for the penetration of water and air and the spread of new root fibers into the dead soil material beneath the pan. In addition, the abundance of water and air benefits microbiological activity converting all dead soil organic matter into much needed humus. With sensible YEOMENS sub-soiling, soil fertility and positive crop response will increase.
