INTRODUCTION

The new Earthmaster is designed with two tillage tools, a tandem disc and a V-chisel connected together as

one unit for one pass operation in standing corn stalks, bean stubble, and other crop residues.

The V-Chisel bar design places the chisel shanks offsets behind each other to allow crop residue to flow

between and around them. The 36” tal chisel shanks will penetrate the soil up to 16” deep to get under the hard

plow sole-lifting, shattering and breaking it up with the least amount of power required. This allows the surface

water to penetrate deeper into the soil, but most of all, it allows your crop roots to penetrate deeper into the soil

to use the valuable moisture and feritilizer all season long and even during a dry season.

It is extremely important that the Earthmaster operates level (disc and chisel) at all times. This will minimize the

horsepower requirements and allow the best flow of soil and residue through the machine.

In cornstalks and other rowed crops, operate at a slight angle to the row. This allows better trash flow and

assures the shanks will not constantly operate on a row or between rows.

An optional Coil Tine Leveler is available for leaving a smooth field behind for later planting.
