New-Style Tillage Tool
 ✖  |
Latest innovation in minimum tillage is the ConServ-All, designed by Harold Reimann, Madison, Wis. It features a gang of coulters on the front that break up the soil and cut trash. A pto shaft runs back to a 3 pt. hitch on the rear of the unit to attach power harrows and other equipment to further break up the soil and incorporate chemicals.
"The ConServ-All lets you till the soil at 6 to 7 mph with the coulters 1 to 6 in. deep, and the power harrow 1 to 4 in. deep. At these speeds, you get good tillage of the soil without the usual ridging problem associated with high speeds," Reimann explains.
"On light soil," he notes, "you could plant right after tilling with the ConServ-All. In fact, some farmers have a bridge hitch on the back of the unit to pull a planter directly behind the system."
Reimann explains that most power harrows will fit on the back of the unit as well as other Cat. 2 or 3, 3-pt attaching equipment, such as chisel plows. Spray booms can also be attached.
Tillage depth for both the coultersand pull-behind equipment is controlled by manually-adjusted top links.
The unit has a pin hitch and is available for both 540 and 1,000 rpm pto's.
ConServ-All is available in 10 to 20 ft. widths. The 13-ft. model sells for right at $6,250, not including the power harrow, and, depending on soil conditions, requires about a 130 hp. tractor.
