Residue Management

Coulters

Adjustable, hydraulic constant-flow 25” diameter coulters, with 8” spacing, are indexed to each sub-soil shank maintaining a uniform cutting pressure across varying soil and heavy residue. A new heavy-duty scraper bar weldment prevents residue and wet soil from building between coulter blades. Coulters are indexed so a single blade is operating on each side of the subsoil shank. Increase the coulter hydraulic down pressure for a blacker, rougher field finish or decrease coulter down pressure for a smaller clod size with an extremely level field finish. Coulter gangs are mounted with Rock-Flex™ bearing arms for added protection. Coulters feature PEER® TILLXTREME™ maintenance-free bearings.

Shank Spacing

Subsoil shanks on 24” spacing provide optimum cut widths for available horsepower per foot of cut. This double-rank design allows for a minimum of 48” between adjoining shanks for maximum “no-plug” residue and soil flow.

Rear Disc Conditioner

Rear Disc Conditioner

Left and right sections of the rear disc conditioner are configured in a reverse tandem design that first moves soil inward, then outward in opposite directions, to aggressively mix and bury residue, size large clods and level the soil. The disc conditioner is hydraulically controlled with a lower limit adjustment valve. Uniform 12” spacing is maintained with individually mounted, 24” fluted, shallow concavity blades. Disc conditioner blade configuration offers a level field finish while functioning within a wide range of operating speeds. Individual rear disc conditioner blade assemblies use a proven sealed bearing with a 5-bolt hub for blade attachment.

Heavy-Duty 24/7® Conditioning Reel

Choice of heavy-duty round bar or heavy-duty flat bar reel with PEER® TILLXTREME™ maintenance-free bearing assemblies mounted on heavy-duty ductile cast bearing arms provides aggressive clod sizing and soil firming. Hydraulic control for reel lift is standard.

Fracture

Shanks

Compaction reduction and subsoil maintenance are accomplished through 3,000-pound point load, auto-reset subsoil shanks. Shanks are equipped with Double K™ ripper points and offer a maximum operating depth of 16 inches.

Double K® Points

 Double K ripper points double the wear life of prior KUHN Krause Dominator fabricated steel and carbide-capped ripper points. Solid casting increases durability in rocky conditions. Choose between the 26.5-pound, 7” wing ripper point and the 22-pound, 2.5” straight ripper point.
