Product overviewThe SKY Methys PCS is a trailed stubble cultivator designed for conservation agriculture, providing controlled shallow tillage, high residue clearance and low energy use across multiple working widths and variants.
Key features- Large horizontal and vertical clearance for reliable ground tracking
- High clearances to avoid blockages with heavy crop residues
- Penetration capacity for first‑pass stubble work even with large straw volumes
- Adjustable shallow working depth from 2 to 11 cm
Objectives of the redesign- Reduce fuel consumption
- Enable 3 cm scalping across the full width to preserve surface residues
- Keep crop residues on the surface while avoiding blockages
- Operate effectively with heavy plant cover
Performance and operationThe machine delivers low power requirements and consistent scalping quality.
- Seven ground support points for accurate depth control and ground tracking
- Twelve depth-control wheels (model dependent)
- 3D control via isostatically supported chassis/extensions and a deformable structure
- Trailed design to minimise tractor-induced movements
- Indicative fuel consumption: approx. 6.5 l/ha first pass, 3 l/ha second pass
