any secondary tillage tool you
choose The 3" heavy duty leveling
bar does an extra effective job of
breaking, leveling and firming the
soil without floating Two simple
adjustments accommodate all dif
ferences in working depth and soil
textures
The HITCHHIKER uses 8" long
teeth, attached to a brawny level
mg bar at a 45° angle This enaoles
the teeth to actually roll and churn
the soil more effectively, incor
porating chemicals and putting the
finishing touches to the seedbed
Whether your tillage tool is OLD or
NEW, it will pay you to stop and
pick up a HITCHHIKER at your
nearest dealer

fertilizer tanks
to a Calumet vacuum tank
Liquid hog manure can save thousands of dollars in
commercial fertilizer costs. So it makes sense to
preserve that value with good management.
That’s why Calumet recommends pairing our
vacuum tank with a 2 or 4-shank Calumet soil injector.
Soil plow down retains about four times the nitrogen
lost with surface spreading, plus reduces odor and runoff,
Stop in to see the full line of
Calumet vacuum tanks in
capacities from 1180 to 4500 gallons
and choice of two vacuum pumps.
And ask about the benefits of using
a Calumet 2 or 4-shank soil injector.
