BRH & BHFF RO-CROP CULTIVATORS
Minimum Tillage
The heart of the BRH Ro-Crop is Brillion's No-Wobble
Parallel Linkage. Heavy duty is an understatement, the
linkage for each gang weighs over 50 pounds. Strength
where it's needed, a Brillion tradition.
Heavy duty straight edge shanks allows high-speed
tillage without throwing dirt or residue.
Underframe shank clearance of 25" allows you more
days to cultivate your crops before they get too tall. 4,6,
8,12 row.
BRS RO-CROP CULTIVATORS
The Brillion "S" tine cultivator (model BPS) with four-way
tooth movement is designed for high speed cultivation,
especially in conjunction with chemical weed control.
The "S" tines also mulch the soil and level the ground
for easier harvesting.
