Subsoilers – the most comprehensive range
TerraDig XXS
Perfect maintenance for your soil
Constantly wet soils, soils that
tend towards layer formation
or fields with deep tyre tracks
caused by heavy harvest machinery
or transport vehicles in
wet harvest conditions — these
are just a few of the challenges
faced by farmers which often
2
react very positively to subsoiling.
By breaking up compressed
soil horizons at natural fracture
points and increasing the soil‘s
porosity, the infiltration and
drainage of water, the permeability
of the soil and oxygen
exchange within the soil are
significantly improved, which
then stimulates the ecosystem
within the soil and encourages
plant growth. This effectively
combats deep-rooted weeds
such as couch grass or thistle.

VN subsoiler application areas:
There are basically two methods of subsoiling to choose from, depending on your particular cultivation
strategy, soil supply and local conditions.
Subsoiling in up to a max. of 40 cm of
organic layer
The subsoilers in the SS/SSD range were developed for locations
with shallow soil, in order to maintain the soil‘s natural
horizons. Thanks to the shape of the share and the guide plates,
compressed soil is broken up and hollows are created in the soil.
The slender shape of the tines helps maintain the soil‘s natural
horizons, by avoiding mixing deeper soil with shallow soil. If mixing
crop remains is not the objective, the SS/SSD subsoilers
can also be used in locations with deep soil. Another advantage
of this range is that when a subsoiler is used immediately after
the grain harvest without the stubble being processed in advance,
any spilt grain remains on the soil surface and can be made
to germinate by subsequent stubble processing. This method
causes no problems with secondary growth even if crops are
intensively rotated.
the range
Subsoiling with topsoil cultivation for locations
with deep soil
The VN subsoilers in the TerraDig XS/XXS range are designed for
working depths up to 55 or 70 cm and can thus be optimised for
particular soil conditions and volumes of crop remains. The special
shape of the tines means that this equipment is especially suitable
for deep and humus-rich soils, whilst simultaneously completely
cultivating the topsoil and mixing the crop remains. The tines aggressively
penetrate the soil, making it particularly easy to achieve
very deep working depths. The soil is raised throughout the entire
working depth; coarse clods of earth are chopped up by the cutting
wedges. The winged coulters mounted on the upper area of
the tine allow the soil to be completely cultivated; these subsoilers
are an ideal choice for topsoil cultivation with simultaneous subsoiling.
These subsoilers can also be used for both conservational
mulch sowing and direct sowing processes as well as conventional
cultivation methods.

Advantages at a glance:
These subsoilers combine all the advantages of a modern implement
for loosening soil — a solid frame (200 x 100 x 10 mm) and a
special steel tine design which requires little traction. This equipment
guarantees perfect penetration of the soil: the soil‘s structure
is maintained and is able to store water well again. The subsoilers
feature an overload protection system using shearbolts, a cat. II or
III linkage and two pneumatic depth guide wheels (235 x 15).

SSD subsoilers SS subsoilers
The SSD subsoiler is designed for 4 to 8 tines with a working width of
3.0 and 4.0 metres. Its standard frame design of 80 cm means that it
can work at depths of approx. 55 cm.
tines
the tines:
• break up subsoil compaction
• make root growth easier
• improve rainwater drainage
The tines do not mix soil horizons and leave the topsoil uncultivated.
The tine design of the SSD subsoiler allows the soil to be
loosened in strips. In contrast, the SS leaves only slots in the soil.
Manual folding system
Subsoilers with a 4-metre working width can be delivered with
a manual folding system and can be folded to a transport width
of 3 metres.
Rollers
In contrast, the SS subsoiler has a lower frame design (75 cm), which
allows for a working depth of approx. 40 cm (optional frame design
of 90 cm possible). This model is available with 3 to 7 tines (working
width of 3.0 and 4.0 metres).
ssd tines ss tines
Stump-jump system
Both subsoilers are equipped with shearbolts as standard. However,
an optional hydraulic stump-jump system is available, which
makes the subsoilers even more efficient.
Both subsoilers can be equipped with rollers. Packer rollers (500
mm diameter) and cage rollers (450 mm diameter) are available.

Blockage-free operation even when
there are large quantities of crop remains
Tines penetrate the soil aggressively,
allowing for outstanding penetration
and fine crumbling of the
soil by the winged coulters
Tines with reversible chisels reduce
wear costs. A shearbolt prevents
overload of tines and frame
6
Advantages at a glance:
This subsoiler model combines an intensive loosening of subsoil layers
with the crumbling and mixing of topsoil. This intensive loosening
results from the aggressive way in which the tines cut through
the soil. The work tools leave no tracks and the soil is left raised and
loose.

TerraDig XS TerraDig XXS
The TerraDig XS is designed for 5, 7 and 9 tines with working
widths of 2.5, 3.0 and 4.0 metres. Its frame design and long tines
mean that it can work at depths of approx. 55 cm.
overload protection
All TerraDig models are fitted with tine overload
protection in the form of a shearbolt.
This is located in a protected position at the
very top of the tine and reliably protects the
tines and frame against overloading. The
bolt‘s position means that it can easily be
replaced afterwards by the operator if it is
deployed.
Roller adjustment
All TerraDig subsoilers are designed with
hydraulic roller adjustment as standard.
edge plates
The edge plates (optional) ensure a clean
connection between the individual working
widths when travelling backwards
and forwards. The edge plates prevent the
soil being thrown out beyond the working
width of the equipment and automatically
adapt to the specific working depths.
The TerraDig XXS has a larger frame height and can therefore work
to depths of up to 70 cm. This model is available in a 5, 7, 9 or 11 tine
version (working widths of 2.5, 3.0, 4.0 or 5.0 m).
Rollers
Both models are usually equipped with a double spiked roller. This roller design helps
to enhance the crumbling of the soil and the intensive incorporation of fouling and
crop remains. Moreover, it ensures that the topsoil is left loose and largely uncompacted.
The height of both rollers can be adjusted in relation to one another; the equipment
functions more efficiently when the front roller is in a higher position.
TerraPak rollers, tapered drum rollers and packer rollers are alternatively available.

testimonials
MB-tRANS-AgRAR, Mr Bruno Moosbrugger on
using Vogel & Noot equipment:
We are a transport and trading company from
Rankweil in Vorarlberg, Austria, and hold the modern
technology of Vogel & noot‘s soil cultivation
equipment in high regard.
We have had the best soil cultivation results particularly
with the Vogel & Noot SSD subsoiler.
Tóth farm, Mr Tóth on the SSD
subsoiler:
We use this implement primarily for mediumheavy
to very heavy soils in cultivation of cereals,
corn and catch crop. With it, we can achieve the
best permeability and water infiltration without
mixing the individual soil horizons. By using this
implement regularly we have succeeded in getting
rid of standing water that is unable to drain
and soil compaction. This was particularly helpful
for us when we experienced
heavy rainfall in
summer 2009; we were
able to make maximum
profit despite the bad
weather conditions.
Success is no coincidence;
it requires hard
work!
As we have been using Vogel & Noot
equipment for several years, this year
we bought the SSD subsoiler. The most
important advantage of the SSD is that
you can also work with slightly damp
soils. The implement raises the soil and
then closes it with the packer roller. This
method keeps the water in the soil.

Hegedűs farm, Mr
Hegedűs on Vogel &
Noot subsoilers:
Voll FARM,
Mr Voll on his new terraDig
XXS:
i got the ssd subsoiler last year and
it achieved really great results both in
summer on very dry soil and in autumn
on very wet soil. In my opinion, the SSD
does the least harm to the soil and you
can work really well with it even in problematic
conditions. We are so happy with
this subsoiler that we‘ve even bought another
Vogel & Noot subsoiler, the TerraDig XXS. With
the new subsoiler, we work at depths of 65–70
cm before cultivating sugar beet.
I‘ve been using tried-and-tested Vogel
& Noot models for six years on my farm
in sunny southern Germany. My most
recent investment has been the TerraDig XXS
for my 315 HP tractor. I can already say that it‘s
been a worthwhile investment. Because 80% of
my land is cultivated without a plough, this implement
is essential for cultivating vegetables. Despite
the oversized work tools, the TerraDig XXS is
very easy to pull and has great fuel economy.
