Subsoilers and Decompactors

Built tough for New Zealand orchards and vineyards, these heavy-duty decompactors are designed to restore soil health, improve drainage, and help your trees and vines thrive season after season. Suitable for tractors from 60–120HP, these machines are available in working widths from 1.4m to 1.8m, with impressive working depths of up to 40cm or 50cm depending on the model.

Years of machinery traffic can create hardpan and soil compaction beneath the surface — restricting root growth, trapping moisture, and limiting productivity. Our decompactors are engineered to break through compacted layers while leaving the surface soil structure largely undisturbed. The result? Better water penetration, improved airflow, healthier root systems, and stronger crop performance.

Whether you are managing kiwifruit orchards, vineyards, avocado blocks, apples, citrus, or mixed horticulture operations, these machines are built to handle demanding New Zealand conditions with ease.

What sets these decompactors apart is their combination of strength, versatility, and practical orchard-focused design. The robust chassis is built for long-term durability and is available in fixed, mechanically adjustable, or hydraulically adjustable configurations depending on the model. Adjustable tine positioning allows the machine to be matched precisely to your tractor wheel track for efficient operation between rows.

The specially designed curved outer tines feature mechanical safety protection, wear-resistant components, and reversible ploughshares for extended service life, while the central tine configuration delivers deep, effective soil loosening where needed. For grassed orchards and vineyards, optional front cutting discs help slice cleanly through turf and residue for smoother operation.

To finish the job, optional rear levelling rollers leave the ground tidy and ready for immediate machinery access — ideal for busy orchard environments where downtime is not an option.

For growers wanting even more versatility, selected models can also be converted into a fertiliser planter using the dedicated conversion kit, helping combine soil improvement and nutrient placement in one efficient pass.

At Agtek, we know that healthier soil means healthier crops — and these decompactors are designed to deliver exactly that. Strong, reliable, and built for serious orchard and vineyard work, they are quickly becoming an essential tool for growers wanting to maximise productivity while protecting long-term soil health.

Simple. Effective. Built to perform.
