SOIL COMMANDERS
The Brillion Soil Commanders take Residue
Management to the next generation of soil
conservation efficiency.
The Soil Commanders are versatile tillage tools
designed to meet the needs of the mid-size farmer who
uses a 150-200 H.P. tractor. One of the keys to the
machine’s versatility is that it uses interchangeable
shank legs and individually mounted disk assemblies
instead of a disk gang. This makes possible a machine
with disk assemblies on the front and rear of the frame
with chisel plow or deep-ripper shanks on 15", 24”, 27”
SOIL BUILDERS
SOIL BUILDERS. Optional Coulter gang can be
hydraulically controlled to save maintenance dollars.
5,7, 9,11 &13 shanks. Available in 2& 3 bar.
