The Raptor strip-till tool features TerrainPro row-units with independent depth control to optimally follow soil terrain for creating the ideal seedbed in six stages:

The leading swivel coulter with a 20” blade features 1,500 lbs. of down pressure to cut through the heaviest residue.

The free-floating row cleaners with curved finger design help clear residue from the strip.

The centrally mounted crowfoot-style wheel maintains row unit depth independently from row to row.

The tillage shank precisely tills the soil from 6” to 12” deep to manage the root zone hardpan. Shanks feature 2-1/4” cast points and integrated 1-1/2” wear bars for long-term, trouble-free use.  Model 2030 features spring-cushioned auto-reset shanks with 2,000 lbs. of point-load pressure and Model 2015 offers shear-bolt protected shanks with 5,000 lbs. of sheer pressure.

To create the seedbed, 18” notched concave closing coulters are mounted on each side of the shank to keep the soil in the strip. They feature tool-free down pressure, width, and angle adjustability to fine-tune the seedbed finish.

Standard trailing crowfoot-style conditioning wheels break up clods, condition the strip and the unique self-cleaning design prevents plugging with rocks, mud or other debris. Other conditioning options include 15” Rolling Harrow baskets for additional tillage or 15” rubber press wheels for added soil firming.

Raptor strip-till tools are available in pull-type 12 or 16-row models with 30” spacings or 3-pt. mounted units in 6- 8- and 12-row models with 30”, 36” or 38” row spacings.  Pull-type models are constructed with a heavy-duty 7” x 7” toolbar for reliability and feature a narrow folded width of 13’6” for easier transport and storage. The toolbar features 15 degrees of upward and 5 degrees of downward flex to follow uneven terrain. Mounted 3-pt. MT models are manufactured with heavy-duty double-wall steel with a 6” x 6” rear mounting bar for long-term operation.  A flex-frame is available as an option for 12-row 3-pt. MT models.

Pull-Type models can be equipped with liquid or dry fertilizer distribution systems for the ultimate one-pass tillage solution. LT models feature a 1200-gallon liquid tank with a 50-gallon sump for keeping the pump primed on sidehills. DT models feature dual, 6-ton dry fertilizer tanks for single or dual material distribution.

The rearward positioning of the tanks allows enhanced visibility of the TerrainPro row units from the tractor cab. Both feature ISOBUS rate control that provides easy operation from the tractor’s virtual terminal and can be used with section control to automatically apply pre-loaded field fertilizer prescriptions. Mounted 3-pt. units can also be equipped with optional liquid or dry fertilizer shank attachments with a rear hitch for pulling a fertilizer caddy.
