Great Plains Max-Chisel™
The aggressive Great Plains Max-Chisel™ performs primary tillage at a shallower depth and leaves fields smoother than most traditional disk rippers. With a patented “samurai edge,” the blades remove root balls while chopping and incorporating residue in the top 4- to 5-inches of soil, accelerating the decaying process. It also leaves enough surface level for a single-pass tool to finish the field ahead of the planter in the spring. Angled chopper wheels combine with 15-inch shank spacing to pull dirt back into the shank voids, leveling the soil while maintaining the vertically-tilled profile left by the shanks.

Smart-Till by T.G. Schmeiser
The Smart-Till by T.G. Schmeiser is the ultimate tool for improving soil health and plant vigor. The patented self-sharpening tine system fractures and laterally shatters the soil profile more than 8-inches deep. This action creates improved air and water exchange, which offers many benefits for spring and fall tillage. Available 10- to 30-feet wide, the Smart-Till excels at residue management by fraying and promoting soil contact. The optional rear rotary harrows smooth, level and loosened soil for an optimal field finish. The adjustability of both the tines and the rear harrows makes the Smart-Till the ultimate performer in almost any field condition.

Myers Spring Laser Tooth Tines™
Laser Tooth Tines™ from Myers Spring Co. feature new and proprietary anti-wear surfacing for a dramatic increase in tine life. Thoroughly tested over the last 3 years in all regions of the US and Canada, this improvement has extended life by as much as 5-times longer than untreated tines. The resulting improvement in tine life offers greater cost-savings-per-acre than any wear resistant solution for tillage tines. With the improved wear rate, engagement pressures and angles are easier to control, making the leveling of seedbeds much more consistent for better germination, which equals better yields. Myers Spring Laser Tooth Tines are available in wire sizes up to 0.750-inches — the largest in the field.
Laser Tooth Tines = Better Seed Bed = Better Yields.
