THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY IN TRASH BREAKDOWN
SYSTEMS – K-LINE SPEEDTILLER The Speedtiller by K-Line Industries was released
in early-mid 2010 and it has been a great success
in the marketplace.
The Speedtiller is a highly effective disc-tilling machine ideal for soil conditioning in the presence of high levels of crop residues. With a full soil disturbance, trash is cut and distributed evenly providing a protective barrier to retain moisture and increase trash flow in tine seeders. All discs are individually mounted on rubber suspensions with heavy duty bearing assemblies allowing maximum working depths and excellent soil conditioning due to the disc arm action & offset. A depth gauging roller is provided at the rear giving the desired crumbling effect on the soil profile and excellent seedbed preparation. The K-Line Speedtiller operates best at high speeds i.e. 8-15km/hr, giving a fuel efficient operation and allowing stubble residues to pass easily through tined seeders. The Speedtiller can be supplied in vineyard and orchard models down to 1.75m wide through to 9m machines with full hydraulic lift & fold. If you have the need of soil conditioning with heavy residues ask for an obligation free demonstration & check out the benefits of this all new machine.
We have been doing demonstrations over the past
few months with the Speedtiller throughout
eastern Australia and have generated a lot of
interest and sales due to the high amounts of
summer weed growth and heavy stubbles. The
demonstrations are a great way to see the way the machine works in the field & the excellent results generated from it. Put the Speedtiller to the test and prove the benefits of high fuel efficiency, time-saving and reduced wear-and-tear over traditional tillage systems.

MOWING YOUR WAY WITH K-LINE Throughout the past two years, the K-Line team has
been busy designing & manufacturing turf & finishing
mowers.
These mowers have been developed in conjunction
with turf farmers & have been tested extensively in
the field, providing great results.
We have two types of Mowers in our range – the
Precision Cut Turf Mower & the VR Mower.
The Precision Cut Turf Mower is a revolutionary
mower, enabling large areas to be mown with the
precision & quality of cut previously achieved by
smaller & slower machinery. The quality, safety &
strength of this mower sets a new benchmark for the
Turf Industry.
The VR Mower is a precision-cut finishing mower
with a high tip speed. Some of its benefits include
stainless steel decks, unique quad-blade spinners
(for excellent finish), fast operation with high tip
speed, & simple height adjustment.
They are also easy to service & maintain. The VR is
widely recommended and has been sold nation-
wide, proving to be very popular to both councils &
contractors throughout Australia, particularly in WA.

K-Line’s K55 Easy Fit Coulter Kits are an effective
way to upgrade your tine seeder to increase its
stubble and trash handling capabilities.
These coulters come in both single & double units
and have a lot of benefits, including decrease in soil
throw, increase in point life & less downtime at
seeding time, taking away the dreaded wrapping of
vine type weeds.
With simple fitting adjustments, fully bushed pivots
(non-greasing) & robust construction & design,
these are the product for you. The coulters are a
great product & are proving very successful in the
field.
We have kits available to fit most standard drills and
a wide range of options.
The advent of minimum and no-tillage cropping
systems has led to farmers seeking better ways of
handling stubble. Traditional methods such as
burning stubble are now far less popular while other
management techniques include baling it just after
harvest or working it into the ground where it breaks
down gradually over time.
The 2700 Trashcutter is a fast, simple & effective
unit used to mulch both winter & summer stubbles. It
has proven to be an extremely useful tool in
providing residue cover for conserving moisture over
the summer & autumn periods. Farmers are proving
this machine to cut & spread evenly on the surface
with little soil disturbance, facilitating the biological
processes in breaking down the stubbles & returning
nutrients to the soil.
The Trashcutter has some unique benefits including
the cutting up of summer weeds, the root system is
left intact in the soil giving a holding power to
minimize wind erosion, extremely even trash
distribution giving excellent trash flow, an ability to
angle discs for soil disturbance when incorporating
chemicals & controlled cutting of stubble and other
vine weed, bushes and grasses.
The 2700 also has the ability to be set on angles up
to 7.5°, allowing effective soil disturbance. This has
proven extremely useful when incorporating pre-
emergent chemicals and creating a tilth,
encouraging weed germination in some stubbles.
The angle can also be used to cut the stubble out of
the ground, giving maximum ground cover.
Roly-Poly Control/Vine Weeds: Farmers in the
north of the state have also found the 2700 as a
successful tool in eradicating and cutting out roly-
poly in both pasture and cropping phases. In a
pasture phase, roly-poly can be mulched with
minimal disturbance to natural grasses. Roly-poly in
a cropping phase can be cut and chopped allowing
seeders to pass with minimal blockages.
This machine is available in both hydraulic or spring
pressure varies in sizes of widths from 9.14m-
24.38m. Now’s the time to start treating your
stubble residues as a valuable asset; put them to
work for you - secure your Trashcutter for the
upcoming seasons.
