Inventive Farmer Donates Company To Bible Camp
 ✖  |
Ron Tschetter had a great idea for converting a chisel plow into a stalk chopping coulter cart. After manufacturing and selling thousands of coulter kits, which were featured in our “Best of FARM SHOW” issues for many years, he had an even better idea. When cancer hit him hard a year or so ago, he donated the business to a neighboring youth Bible camp.
“Jon Duba was my minister when I was in high school, and now he is the camp director at Byron Bible Camp,” says Tschetter. “They will keep producing the kits with the profits going to the camp.”
Aside from the new owner, nothing else will change for customers old or new, notes Duba. “FARM SHOW readers can contact us through his website,” says Duba. “We will have complete chisel plows with coulters for sale, as well as kits for conversion.”
A 31-ft. wide chisel plow equipped with Tschetter’s coulter system is priced at $16,500. A kit with two, 18-in. wavy coulters spaced 6 in. apart and the mounting shaft with bearing assembly is $350. The bearing support can be greased, 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 to protect it from weeds and other materials.
“Ron kept refining the kit and improving it, making it better and better,” says Duba. “We don’t see any changes that will be needed.”
Duba relates that Tschetter continues his fight with cancer.
