(Grower of Japanese spring onions, rice etc.)
We grow rice in 6ha and spring onions in 60a. Last autumn we had a continuously long rain which delayed the rice harvest, so we started harvesting spring onions at the end of November. It’s been some time since we started to use Super Soiler, SV3-NGTK, but still, its speed amazes us.
It takes me 5 minutes from my house to the field, then it takes just the same length of time to dig up 2 lines of furrows for the length of 50 meters. It does the work so quickly I even do it for my neighbors.
Of course for free!
Every year after shipping out our spring onions in April, we break up the compacted soil in the field using Super Soiler. Since we started to use the machine, we have not had a puddle even after a heavy rain. It must have improved the drainage. Our spring onions are very soft and delicious.
In my neighborhood, there are four farmers who use the machine. It’s quick, and eases farming work so much.
