You won't need your entire toolbox to set up or adjust the new rolling cultivator from Fasse Manufacturing and Distribution, Inc., Cozad, Nebraska.
  "Our goal with this machine was ease of adjustment," says Steve Pawley, Fasse's sales representative. The machine can be adjusted with a 3/4-in. wrench and socket, a 15/16-in. wrench, and 10-in. and 12-in. adjustable (Crescent) wrenches.
  The cultivator features swivel coulters to cut through residue, permanently angled 14-in. barring-off discs that can't slip and slice the crop, two gangs of spiders and a rear sweep on a shank with a break-away foot piece. The rear shank is square, so it can't twist and adjusts for depth with just a pin and clip. The rear shank is also built to handle optional ridging wings.
  Fasse's rolling cultivator looks somewhat like the Lilliston Rolling Cultivator. Pawley says Lilliston cultivators can be changed over to incorporate the increased down pressure offered by the Fasse cultivator.
  The cultivator has a heavy-duty parallel linkage with greasable full-width shafts and machined bushings. Heavy-duty springs maximize down pressure on the gang pipe to keep the spiders in the ground. The spiders are easily adjusted to increase or decrease tillage action. The rear gang of spiders is mounted 1 1/2 in. lower than the front gang so they continue the tillage started by the front gang. A long gang pipe allows the gangs to be spaced farther apart for better crop residue flow and virtually no plugging.
  Steel full-tent shields protect crops up to 14 in. tall, allowing faster cultivating speeds in taller crops. The shields can be precisely adjusted to crop height by a combination of chain link and threaded rod.
  Fasse Rolling Cultivators are available in four, six, eight, 12 and 16-row configurations. The company also sells cultivator units you can mount on your own toolbar.
