Preparing a seedbed with one pass was the goal of Sunflower, the seeding and tillage line from Agco Corp. But with large equipment comes oversized loads. So the company introduced its new narrow transport for the SF6830 Series high-speed rotary finisher. Available in two models SF6830-18NT (17 feet, 8 inches) and SF6830-21NT (21 feet, 5 inches), both tools transport at the narrow width of 9 feet, 10 inches. Learn more about the Sunflower SF6830 from Agco, Duluth, Ga., by calling 770-813-9200 or visiting agcocorp.com.

A chain harrow on wheels, the Harrow Caddy makes getting to the work site easier. Harrows from 17 to 26 feet wide can be attached to the caddy for transport. It then swivels for narrow-width transporting of less than 8.5 feet. It also offers a low storage height. It is equipped with a longer tongue for tighter turns.

Keeping up with the high-speed planters of today takes an equally fast tillage tool. Kuhn Krause Interceptor 8050 quickly prepares the seedbed, while sizing and evenly distributing residue into the worked soil profile. This action not only kills weeds and limits potential movement of wind-driven residue, but also contributes to residue breakdown throughout the year and builds soil organic matter. The Interceptor 8050 has individually mounted 22-inch-diameter by 32-flute Excalibur CT shallow concavity blades mounted in parallel to front and rear rows to cut and direct soil and residue flow. Additional standard features include bearings that don’t need daily grease maintenance, walking-beam pivots, and wing-fold and wheel-lift pivots.
