Coulters Convert Chisel Plow To Strip-Till Machine

Coulters Convert Chisel Plow To Strip-Till Machine CHISEL PLOWS “A coulter kit from Ron’s Manufacturing converts any chisel plow into a tool that prepares perfect seed beds for planting ” says inventor and owner Ron Tschetter Ron’s coulters have stronger bearings than other machines on the market to withstand tough working conditions and high horsepower tractors Here are some differences between Ron and his competitors The competitors use a 1 1/4-in or 1 3/16-in tapered bearing compared to the 1 3/8-in size that Ron uses Also one of the competitors has a cap and strap mounting that has to be removed to tighten the tapered bearings The other competitor has non-greasable bearings mounted lower on the shaft Ron’s kits have four larger flat ball bearings that are pressed into a steel hub and a cold rolled shaft That way when the bearings are worn it won’t ruin the hub or the shaft like a self aligning bearing When a self aligning bearing gets dry it spins in the hub and ruins the hub A pressed in bearing in steel tubing won’t do this “The strength and durability of our kits is unsurpassed on the market ” says Ron The bearing center support is greasable and the shaft is made of a cold rolled steel and drilled for a roll pin to the hub plate The outer shield is cup-shaped and goes over the bearing center so that weeds and other materials can’t get into the bearing seal The hub plate is held on with a 3/4-in bolt and collar The coulter can be used to lightly till the soil and incorporate and size residue setting the stage for the spring planting season It’s also a practical way to dry out wet soils The Vertical Tillage Coulter Kit Attachment also works well in no-till conservation tillage and conventional tillage operations The wavy coulter design loosens and fluffs the soil so it warms more quickly in spring and breaks the crust which energizes the seedbed for maximum growth and yield potential The coulters also allow shallow seedbed preparation which decreases the risk of excess soil density below the root zone Operating at field speeds of 6 to 10 mph allows quick mixing of manure and soil to prevent loss of nutrients and to control odor The coulter setup can also be used for very shallow incorporation of fertilizer and certain herbicides The coulter kits come with 18-in earthen hardened boron blades with 13 waves the waves are 1-in apart but other blades can also be mounted All blades are spaced 6-in on center For more information contact: Ron’s Manufacturing 40582 187th St Carpenter S Dak 57322 ph 605 266-2177; email: info@ronsmfg com; www ronsmfg com
