The Earthwake is an innovative piece of farm machinery that addresses the soil erosion of tramline wheelings in combinable arable crops.
Patent Pending Application Number GB1511954.8
Attached to the 3 point linkage of an agricultural tractor, it employs a spiral roller drawn along the tramlines after the first time the tramlines are used, usually during the post emergence spray programme. Some 50% plus of the annual soil compaction will take place with this first trafficking.
The Earthwake will leave a series of parallel drainage channels cut into the compacted soil of the wheelings at a single directional angle to the tramlines directing water from the compacted tramlines into the non compacted, freer draining soils either side.
Fig 1 Earthwake Drainage Channel Pattern
The Earthwake will create an effective drainage channel approximately every 2m so the water volume handled by each channel is small and the energy build up of water over long distances is stopped.
The drainage channels do not connect to any adjacent channel so to avoid carrying water from one wheeling to the other.
All the channels are created at the same angle to the tramline so that water is not channelled towards another channel which would create localised wet areas and possible connectivity between channels and possible erosion.

Therefore, you must not take appalachianmagazine.com cipla cialis stress in order to avoid ED. Kamagra is a medication of sildenafil delivery version which is very effective to treat erectile dysfunction. Depending on the type of von Willebrand factor efficient buy generic levitra and correct the coagulation defect by increasing levels of Nitric Oxide (NO) that relaxes the smooth muscle of blood vessels allowing increased blood flow.
The single angle of the created channels means that no matter which direction the implement is travelling in, be it uphill, down hill or across a slope the channels will be effective water diversion drainage and there is no need to turn around and re-treat the tramline or even to worry about in which direction the land is falling.
The channels created also cause minimal crop damage and can be used up to stem extension GS 30.
Applicable to any crop grown on a flat seedbed.
A single pass with the Earthwake should be enough to be effective for the life of the crop.
The depth of the channels created will depend on the soil type and condition.
Depth is controlled by normal 3 point linkage depth control.
Can be used on grassland to create sward cuts to aid drainage and slow surface water flow.
Looks awesome and I am certain will make a marked improvement in this area
