This helps the soil warm and absorb moisture faster, ensuring fields are ready for planting when temperatures rise.
Reduced Compaction: Effective on frozen ground.
Faster Soil Thawing warming: Prepares fields sooner for planting.
Improved Residue Breakdown: Leaves finer mulch to retain moisture.
Prepare your fields early and set up your crops for success with the K4 Notched Disc Chain.
Features precision-engineered notches along the disc edges, designed to capture, cut, and penetrate crop residue efficiently.
Ideal for frost tillage in early spring or late fall. It works on frozen or semi-frozen ground, reducing compaction while incorporating crop residue.
The K4 Notched Disc Chain’s cutting action is highly effective for managing residues such as maize stalks.
The K4 Disc Chain offers unmatched versatility with interchangeable smooth and notched blades, allowing farmers to customise their cutting approach based on crop type and soil condition:
Notched blades provide aggressive residue management by capturing, splitting, and embedding heavy residues for better decomposition.
Smooth blades deliver clean, efficient cutting for lighter residue and specific tillage requirements.
Optional extra weights can also be added to enhance penetration, ensuring peak performance even in frozen, compacted, or wet soils.

The K4 Notched Disc grips the residue, preventing it from slipping over the blade surface and ensuring effective splitting of stubble and crop internodes. This process accelerates decomposition by providing soil microbes with increased access to organic matter, which returns nutrients to the seedbed faster.
As the residue is captured, the notched discs drive it into the soil, improving soil contact. This embedded organic matter creates an insulating mulch layer that retains moisture, reduces erosion, and boosts germination and early crop development by preserving soil health and structure.
By splitting internode stalks and embedding stubble into the soil, it disrupts pest habitats, such as those of the European corn borer, helping to reduce the risk of infestation in the following growing season.
Additionally, the K4 Notched Disc Chain helps reduce the development of mycotoxins—harmful contaminants that thrive in crop residues. By fragmenting residue and enhancing decomposition, the notched disc limits the conditions favourable for fungal growth and overwintering, which is increasingly important given the EU’s stringent mycotoxin limits on cereals.
The K4 Notched Disc Chain increases decomposition rates by splitting internode stalks and creating smaller residue fragments. This increases the surface area exposed to microbial activity, promoting faster composting. As the organic matter integrates into the soil, it creates an even mulch layer that improves moisture retention, temperature regulation, and erosion control—setting the foundation for a healthier seedbed.
This process is especially beneficial for crops like corn, wheat, and barley, where managing thick stubble is critical to maintaining soil health. The mulch layer ensures that nutrients from decomposed residues are returned to the soil, supporting early germination and uniform crop emergence.
Every part of the K4 Disc Chain is built for strength and simplicity. Closer disc spacing ensures complete soil coverage at shallow working depths, improving residue management without compromising soil health. The bolt-on design makes it easy to add or remove links without disassembly, minimising downtime and ensuring your equipment stays field-ready.
The K4 Notched Disc Chain delivers versatility, adaptability, and reliable performance for farmers seeking superior residue management and soil health. Whether you’re using it for frost tillage, pest control, or rapid decomposition, the K4 Notched Disc Chain helps you prepare fields for optimal growth in every season.
