A new frame-mounted, residue management
tool from Yetter Manufacturing makes
it possible for producers using fertilizer
toolbars to reap the benefits of the
company’s expertise in managing
even the toughest residue conditions.
The 2967-039 Frame-Mounted, Floating
Residue Manager is a member of the Yetter
Manufacturing Titan™ family of
residue managers—the strongest
residue managers on the market.
“The adjustable mounting bracket
of the 2967-039 residue manager enables
it to be mounted to a variety of toolbars,” said
Andy Thompson, a Yetter territory manager.
In fact, the tool mounts on 4-inch- square,
7-inch-square, 5-by-7-inch, 4-by-6-inch,
and many other toolbar models.
The floating
design of this Titan allows the residue
manager wheels to hug the soil surface
and effectively move the right amount
of residue. The 2967-039 can be locked down
to enhance performance in extreme conditions.
In addition, depth-control adjustment options
increase producers’ control over the
operation.
“This unit improves the performance
of the whole machine. Clearing residue
first means there is less plugging around
the knife and a stronger performance from
sealing discs,” said Thompson. “This
is particularly advantageous in strip-till
operations when producers are building
the growing environment for the next crop.
Adding residue managers to a strip-till
toolbar warms up the strips quicker and
makes them easier to see during planting.” |
