Is it time to consider a BROOKFIELD® ChainBar in 2022?

We’ve all had a fair bit of time to think recently. Perhaps it has been time in the paddock waiting to get going… waiting to get pulled out of a bog… waiting at the silos… or just waiting for paddocks to dry up.

It’s been a tricky harvest for most and we already know from the scrapes on our canola stubble scarred legs that paddock preparation is going to be the next big thing to be thinking about.

The question on all our minds will be… is it time for some new ideas? Is it time to think outside of the box for our paddock preparation particularly in relation to stubble management? The answer is yes and the answer for your farming operation could well be a BROOKFIELD® ChainBar.

10 good reasons to get a ChainBar…

Farmers from Capella to Callawadda and Cooma to Katherine are cottoning onto the benefits of adding a BROOKFIELD® ChainBar to their line-up. Increasingly popular throughout many farming regions globally, the ChainBar is proving to be the ideal tool to optimise soil health and productivity.

The ChainBar is one of the most versatile stubble and weed management tools on the market. The entire range of BROOKFIELD® Chains and Tooling can be fitted to the implement frame ensuring all tillage needs are covered from dealing with leftover stubble after harvest to preparing the ground for seeding.

So… what makes the BROOKFIELD® ChainBar essential for your tillage/soil management program?

  1. Versatility – The ChainBar is the most versatile in disc chain technology with up to seven chains ensuring that your specific soil-type is cared for as it should.
  2. Moisture conservation – A ChainBar fitted with chains and tooling of your choice ensures that your leftover stubble is laid down and crushed to create a mulch-like protective layer over your soil reducing evaporation and boosting microbial activity.
  3. Outstanding range of options – The ChainBar can be fitted with the full range of chain and tooling options including Rotary Disc, Knuckle, Prickle, and Dog Leg Chains plus the Small Seeds Application and Chemical Application Kits.
  4. Multi-use applications – The ChainBar has a huge variety of uses in the field including stubble knockdown (wheaten, canola, sorghum, sunflower, corn stubble etc.), mulching, weed control, soil levelling, lime incorporation, and pasture renovation. Did you know… the ChainBar is also highly recommended for chemical incorporation and boosting weed germination prior to sowing?
  5. Excellent for all tillage regimes – The many chain alternatives available have proven to be highly beneficial from zero tillage through to minimum and even maximum tillage options to suit varying enterprises. Every paddock is different and that is where the chain options can be fully adapted to match and overcome any challenge.
  6. Reduce chemical use and weed management costs – An early summer pass with the ChainBar fitted with Disc Chain will encourage weeds to come up early so they can be removed with another pass before seeding.
  7. Ideal for haymaking – The ChainBar assists haymaking in the production of higher quality hay, improved yields, faster making time, and a higher value for the finished product. Overall – a better profit margin with less input.
  8. Available in many widths – The ChainBar is available in working widths from 4m to 18.5m featuring a 45-degree working width. Narrow disc spacing achieves complete cut out for the full width of the ChainBar.
  9. Built to last – Featuring a robust reinforced frame allowing each ChainBar to carry the most aggressive chain types, heavy duty swivel bearings with a protective shroud, and a high-quality powder coated finish – the BROOKFIELD® ChainBar is built to last.
  10. Easy to use – Featuring a simple and fast hydraulic fold on multiple remotes allowing for 100 percent functionality from the cab of the tractor, tool-less chain tensioning and height adjustments, and a cross-over pull eliminating the need for a centre gang – the ChainBar is designed to make the job stress-free!
