Successful direct drilling requires a level surface to ensure seeds have easy and quick access to water and nutrients. This was one of the key focus points for Sky when developing its Methys shallow stubble cultivator which, when combined with a front hopper, is suited to establishing cover crops

Most compact disc harrows are developed as cultivation tools that more frequently have seeder units bolted on for establishing cover crops. With its regenerative agriculture hat firmly in place, Sky decided to approach its entry to the shallow disc market from a crop establishment perspective. So, say hello to the Methys, which is available in working widths of 6.0m and 8.0m, with a 12m version coming later this year.
