Farmer Designed Hitch For Deere No Till Drills
An Indiana farmer's gang hitch for two Deere 750 no-till drills worked so well that it's now being manufactured by Erskine Mfg., Erskine, Minn. and is avail-able from Deere dealers throughout U.S."We have two Deere 75015-ft. no-till drills and we wanted to pull them together," says Shane Houck, who farms with his father, Jack, near Pennville, Ind. "We wanted a hitch that one person could operate."
The hydraulically-controlled hitch automatically moves two Deere 15-ft. drills into planting or transport position. The driver never leaves his seat.
The hitch is supported by the Deere dolly wheels. No modifications to the drill frame are required to attach the hitch. Drills can be separated to plant individually within minutes.
Sells for $5,995.
