BILLION PULVERIZERS ......
pulverizer has long been one of the farmer’s most valuable tools. When pulled behind
lisc or field cultivator the pulverizer will help create an ideal seedbed with fewer trips
oss the field. _
.ome of the most valuable soil nutrients are locked in the clods left in your field. The
trillion Pulverizer crushes clods to release those nutrients for use by growing plants. At
same time air pockets are eliminated and moisture is drawn up the root zone by
,illary action. Good soil to seed contact creates more uniform germination, pollination
md maturity... and that means increased crop yield and greater profits.
