- Four adjustable down pressure springs assist with soil penetration while parallel linkages allow the row unit to operate independent of the toolbar to provide
uniform tillage.
- A solid precision tillage shank shatters root zone compaction while placing fertilizer at two precision depths to maximize seed development from germination
through maturity.
- Adjustable wavy coulters “lift and pinch” action incorporates field residue, decreases soil variability, and firms and finishes the optimum seedbed.
- Proven Orthman toolbar designs coupled with a wraparound mount provides a durable row unit foundation.
- The depth band coulter provides consistent row unit tooling depth while the coulter cuts surface and subsurface residue.
- Adjustable heavy-duty notched trash openers manage various residue conditions by reducing rearward plugging in the row unit.
- Optional rearward mounted rolling baskets reduce clod size, retain existing soil moisture, firm, and complete the optimum seedbed.
- Various nurse tank hitches are available to further implement capabilities.
