TILL-N-PLANT "SERIES 2" ROW UNIT DETAILS

The "series 2" row unit was completely redesigned for the 2007 season.  We reworked some areas of the unit and now believe we have the best row unit we have ever had!  They are even tougher than the previous unit and easily adjustable to get the job done the way you want it to be done. The unit's down-pressure is adjusted by moving one rod.  The front flat coulter depth is adjusted with one bolt.  The wavy coulters and rear packer are adjusted by moving a pin. 

The row unit starts with a flat coulter to cut the trash ahead of the 1" thick parabolic automatic-reset trip shank.  The unit can be adjusted so the shank tills from 6 to 16 inches deep.  When the shank trips, simply raise the machine up and shank will reset itself. The parabolic shank and point are designed to prevent soil from slabbing up in big chunks.  Following the shanks, we use two wavy coulters to lift and pinch the soil together.  This closes the void left by the shank, removing any air pockets in the seed bed.  The final key component of the row unit is its dual-wheel packer.  This packer acts as a "depth gauge wheel" for the whole row unit.  This firms the soil to lessen moisture evaporation and also breaks up any dirt clods.  Dirt clods can impede seed placement and seed-to-soil contact.

 

I would also like to remind you of the TILL-N-PLANT’S potential fall use.  The TILL-N-PLANT can be used to apply fertilizer right where it will do the most good - directly under the seed, where it is available to the crop and not wasted on weeds.

Corn On Corn High Residue Flow

One of the key features of the Till-N-Plant machine is its ability to handle high residue situations.  Its design allows the trash to flow through the row unit components with minimal disturbance and minimal plugging.  Tests have proven the Till-N-Plant is far superior to other machines in ability to handle residue.
