SS1800
Designed for deep vertical tillage, the Great Plains Inline Sub-Soiler shatters yield-robbing compaction layers created by horizontal tillage tools such as plows, disks, and sweep implements. With a working depth of 12″ to 16″ (30cm – 40cm), this Autumn tillage tool resets the soil profile and maintains uniform soil density with minimal topsoil disturbance and no residue burial.
The Sub-Soiler’s frame features high-tensile, 3/8″ (9.53mm) wall tubing for added strength and durability. The SS0300 is available in 3, 5 or 6 shank with spacing of 75cm, 68cm or 54cm. The ¾” (19mm) no-till shank and no-till point provide maximum shatter with minimum surface disturbance. To achieve the full benefits of vertical tillage, it is important to select a point design that promotes horizontal fracture without blowout. The Sub-Soiler is offered with several different point options to fit a variety of conditions and needs.
Features
-
NO-TILL POINT
A no-till point that is approximately 10″ (25cm) wide is used with the ¾” (19mm) no-till shank. The no-till point minimises surface disturbance and maximises soil-structure-shatter below the surface. It also increases the amount of exposed surface residue and buries very little trash.
-
BERM CONDITIONERS
With 1″ (2.5cm) solid rods, the 16″ diameter (41cm) berm conditioners mounted to each shank help provide a level surface, enabling single-pass seedbed preparation. These are standard equipment.
-
ADJUSTABLE GAUGE WHEEL
A screw jack makes adjusting the gauge wheels simple and easy.
-
SHANK
The 3/4″ (19cm) no-till shank in most soil conditions, only leaves a shank slot exposed on the soil surface and shows a gentle uplifting of the earth between shanks. Therefore, it should be used where less ground disturbance is desired. Replaceable wear shins are standard.
-
AUTO-RESET
With 3000 lb. (1360kg) trip force, the Auto-Reset Shanks provide stop-free operation in areas where sub-surface obstructions exist.
-
Sub-Soiler Hitch
The Great Plains Sub-Soiler Hitch is quite capable as a tough 3-point pull package. The SSH can turn your 3-point sub-soiler, no-till drill, or other 3-point implement into pull-type machines – no longer requiring the normal hassle of hooking and unhooking to the tractor’s 3-point hitch. The rugged design allows it to handle equipment up to 15,000 (6803kg) pounds. Optional 300-gallon (1135L) fertilizer tank is available.
