2019 Bigham Strip Till – Generation 3 789-223

Prepare a tilled zone and leave valuable residue around it for protection of your tender young crop.

Disturb less soil and residue for conservation of water, soil, and organic material, and eliminate wasteful multiple tillage and chemical application passes.

This tool tills planting strips for better crop growing conditions and increased water holding capacity, firms and prepares the seedbed for optimum planting results, and lets you place fertilizer and herbicides at the same time. It easily handles large volumes of crop residue while providing the advantages of combined field operations to reduce field trips. Row unit mounts to 7×7” tool bar. Rugged rear gang is welded from structural tube and may be equipped with virtually any combination of attachments. Extended frame promotes maximum residue and soil flow between tillage components.

• Welded “tab and slot” frame for durability and reduced weight.

• Optimized tool spacing.

• Extended frame promotes maximum residue and soil flowbetween tillage components.

• Only three grease zerks per row. Greasing interval is once each operating season.

• 3/4” pivot bolts.

• Polymer wear bushings keep the linkage assembly tight and never need greasing.

• U-Bolt Rear Mount clamps give more vertical travel.

• Wrap-around clamps keep gangs straight and prevent “walking” in side-draft conditions, and moves the gang forward, making the unit easier to lift.

• Trips the gang in two dimensions when an obstruction is encountered.

• Spring allows gang to rotate. Coulter amplifies action.

• Gang resets automatically.

• 1-1/8” Arbor Bolt

• New notched discs clear residue in front of the tillage shank.

• Twisted blades on right- and left-hand discs boost aggressive residue clearing.

• Tillage discs are mounted on twisted flat shanks with a positive hexagon angle pitch adjustment feature.

• Each blade is adjustable vertically and laterally on the tool bar.

• Basket weldment features 1-1/2” shaft and flange bearings with triple lip seals.

• Seals moisture, breaks up clods and prepares the seedbed.
