WHAT'S MEW
TILLAGE TOOL
DM, Inc., Goodfield, 111,,
recently announced the
introduction of a new con
cept in farm tillage equip
ment called the Turbo-Tiger.
According to the
manufacturer, the Turbo-
Tiger is designed for a one
pass operation in order to
save time and money while
increasing yields and con
serving the soil. It ac
complishes this with a
specially designed disc
assembly and V-Chisel
subsoiler.
The company states,
however, that the Turbo-
Tiger is not just a chisel plow

with a disc gang, because the
disc blades are uniquely
spaced, and the subsoiler
has parabolic shanks with
exclusive, low profile,
winged chisel points. Ad
ditionally, the Turbo-Tiger
has an independent,
hydraulic on-the-go vertical
adjustment of the disc depth
without changing chisel
depth; thus controlling the
amount of trash buried, plus
enabling it to match
changing field conditions.
The manufacturer states
that the DMI Turbo-Tiger
gets its name from the
turbulent action created by
its operation which is

described as follows: the
first row of widely spaced
disc blades aggressively
cuts hard packed soil,
windrows the trash, rips out
root crowns and mixes dirt
while the second row of discs
parts the windrow, re-cuts
the trash and returns the soil
laterally to leave the field
level. The rearward and
downward slope of the sharp
wings on the chisel points
lifts, twist and turn the
fractured soil; thus burying
trash and herbicides while
bringing up deep soil without
creating a new sole. This
results in a slabbing
moldboard type action that
leaves the soil open, allowing
moisture to penetrate and be
retained which helps cut
down on erosion. All leading
edges of the winged chisel
points are hard-surfaced and
sharp for smooth
penetration and stay at a
selected depth while using
less horsepower.
The DMI Turbo-Tiger has
a 30 inch spaced V-Chisel
and is avialable with either
five shanks for a 12-1/2 feet
swath or with seven shanks
for a 17-1/2 feet swath. Both
versions are equipped with
widely spaced, spring loaded
discs arranged in two rows

scale, additional details for
professionals who want to
raise queens by the
thousands, how to ship
Queens, re-queen a hive, and
make new colonies.
“Rearing Queen Honey'
Bees” is written for the
beginner with much of value
to the professional. Its “how
to” steps are illustrated with
50 photos.
Morse has kept bees,
studied, taught and written
about them for more than 40
years. He has done research
and education projects in
Africa, Asia, Europe, and
South America.' He is also
the author of “Bees and
Beekeeping,” “The Com
plete Guide to Beekeeping,”
“Comb Honey Production,”
and has edited “Honey Bee
