Filmed for a virtual student tour last year, Martin Lole walks us through the build of the Pro-Til from start to finish. In this video Martin demonstrates the unique design features that makes Mzuri a market leader in innovation.
After five years of having the oilseed rape at the 1000ha Penlynn Estate, Llwynhelig, Cowbridge in Wales established by a contractor using the Mzuri strip-till system, the estate has bought its own 4m Pro-Til 4T model and a stubble rake for the coming season.
The crop accounts for about a quarter of the 400ha of arable area, and was previously established using a Biodrill on a TopDown cultivator. “As a break crop it’s becoming increasingly marginal to grow, so strip tillage will help reduce establishment costs while improving soil health and structure,” says assistant manager Damien Burnell.

When you manage 3300 acres, consistency is vital as Warwickshire grower Chris Heath demonstrates with his side by side drill comparison. Both Spring Barley, both direct drilled – The one, Mzuri the other, a popular direct tine drill. The difference speaks for itself.
Warwickshire grower, Chris Heath talks to us about how the Mzuri Pro-Til has allowed him to establish even, corner to corner crops in his first Spring with his new drill.
Six weeks on we discuss the importance of retaining moisture and band placing fertiliser below the seed, particularly in spring drilling.
