Coulters Convert Chisel Plow To Strip-Till Machine
Ron’s coulters have stronger bearings than other machines on the market to withstand
tough working conditions and high horsepower tractors.
The strength and durability of Ron’s kits is unsurpassed on the market. The bearing
center support is greasable and the shaft is made of 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 coulters 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.
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, with the waves 1-in. apart. But other blades can also be mounted. All blades are spaced 6 in. on center.
