Next is the residue manager, a
set of angled wheels with steel fin
gers that throw aside com stalks
and other heavy residue. The
residue manager clears a path for
planter openers without disturbing
the soil. This tool is ideal for both
row crop rotation and continuous
com, and it doesn’t disturb pre
applicd herbicides.
The third member is the residue
brush, a set of rotary brushes of
durable polymer that greatly
sweep aside residues, leaving, the
soil untouched. Because the soil is
undisturbed, herbicide control will
not be lost, especially when
applied at reduced rates.
All units are planter-mounted,
have heavy duty spindles with sea
led, greasable double row bear
ings, and the mountings are adjust
able for depth control.
