Combining discs and legs in the one cultivator is now pretty much the norm for UK min-till gear. So, with this in mind, Dutch manufacturer Tulip worked with its British distributor, Teagle Machinery, to develop the XL Vario. Unlike many of its mounted cultivator competitors, however, the Vario slots its
pan-busting legs in between the two gangs of discs. Teagle’s reasoning for this approach is simple: the front row of discs can chop up material such as lodged straw rather than it wrapping around the legs behind.
