How Does It Work?


The Wilco Spot Cultivator can be easily mounted onto any standard-sized excavator and carries out several tasks in one quick action:
 

1 and 2: Spot rakes the ground to clear slash/vegetation

3: Rips the soil up to 1.0m depth (depth can be varied)

4: Cultivates the soil into a mound centrally over the rip (height can be varied)

  • With optional attachments it can release fertiliser and/or spot spray for dessication.
  • Can also rake and mound if the ripper tine is removed.
