KELLY-LOGO-2023

Start with a
perfect seedbed.

Every great yield comes from a great seedbed.

Accurate seed placement, good seed/soil contact, consistent soil density, and moisture retention; the KELLY Tillage System efficiently creates these conditions trough an ultra-shallow tillage pass, ensuring that each seed gets the best possible start.

Minimize operation and maintenance costs.

Ensure consistent planting depth for optimal germination.

Boost productivity with a level seedbed.

Uproot the competition.

For a crop to reach its full potential, the seedbed should be free from competing vegetation. 

 

The KELLY Tillage System can remove established weeds through an ultra-shallow tillage pass, or stimulate early germination of weed seeds to dramatically increase the effectiveness of a future herbicide application. 

 

Farmers can capitalize on this integrated weed control with savings on chemical spending and significant reductions in weed pressure. 

Keep the soil covered.

Maintaining soil cover has a significant effect on seedbed quality. 

 

By bruising and breaking crop residue, KELLY Disc Chains leave a layer of mulch on the surface that insulates the soil against erosion and moisture loss. 

 

A KELLY can also be used to incorporate cover crops. By mixing the organic matter with a shallow layer of topsoil, the Disc Chains help to promote microbial breakdown and return organic matter to the seedbed. 

Optimal seedbed, optimal crops.

Levelling the seedbed with the KELLY Tillage System removes ruts and ridges, leaving an even surface that increases the productivity of subsequent field work. 

 

Farmers can enjoy optimized seed placement with a smooth seedbed that allows for higher working speeds, more even seed spacing and improved planter accuracy. 

Customer Testimonials

Tad Hargis
Louisiana, USA

“We double-disked some milo stubble and ran the KELLY one time, then planted on a perfect seedbed afterwards.”

David Gillett
Victoria, Australia

“It’s doing a lovely job of taking out summer weeds… We’re getting a better germination from sowing due to the better seed/soil contact.”

David Evans
Viljoenskroon, South Africa

“A much more even seedbed… the KELLY can be used for pastures, cover crops; there’s a place for it everywhere.”

Simon Burgess
Tasmania, Australia

“It’s such a versatile tool… and is extremely efficient. We’re doing 25 acres an hour and our fuel cost is next to nothing.”
