It's FAST.... it's Economical!

The Supercoulter Plus provides for even greater management of excessive field residue in no-till, minimum-till, and conventional-till farming operations.

It's the same, farmer proven Supercoulter with one "hitch". An Hydraulic Hitch that permits the operator to transfer weight from front gang to rear or from rear gang to front, turning it into a real multi-function tool. This feature along with the different blades and blade placement match the Supercoulter Plus to most farming practices.

Built on a rugged 4" square and 4" X 6" rectangular tube frame, the Supercoulter Plus is designed to fulfill an important need in your Spring seedbed and Fall residue management operations..

The Supercoulter Plus requires low horsepower, covers fields fast and penetrates residue allowing for earlier planting. It is available in working widths of 15, 23, 30 (standard or narrow center) and 40 feet.

The Hydraulic Hitch (patent pending) permits the operator to transfer weight from the front gang to the rear gang from rear gang to front, turning the Supercoulter Plus into an even more multi-function tool. The Hydraulic Hitch can also be installed on existing Supercoulters. It cannot be installed on machines equipped with the optional rear hitch.	The Supercoulter Plus comes standard with straight coulters on front ranks (left picture) and 13-wave coulters (right picture) on rear. This combination is most effective on heavy residue in a variety of field conditions. Units can also be equipped with the same 13-wave, 1-1/4" pitch coulters on both front and rear gangs. Turbo blades with 20-wave, 5/8" pitch coulters are also available.

Utilizing the proven slicing smooth blades on the front gang and the 1-1/4" wave, soil moving blades on the rear gang allows the operator to hydraulically determine field finish from the tractor seat. Transferring weight to rear gangs with the Hydraulic Hitch results in moving more soil thus burying more residue.	In dry, hard conditions, the Hydraulic Hitch is used to transfer the weight to the front gangs providing extra pressure to slice through the toughest residue. Resulting small sections of residue are not buried but remain on top of soil to help prevent moisture loss and erosion.

Super-Flex™ C-Shanks assist in absorbing shocks from rocks and stumps. This important feature extends the life of the bearings and blades. Toggle mounted, shielded, triple seal ball bearings are relubricable and self-align as the gang flexes.

Blades are .256" thickness x 22" in diameter and spaced on 10" centers for an effective coverage of 5".

Dual axles equipped with 11L x 15" tires mounted on 6 bolt hubs assist with depth control and aid flotation in a variety of ground conditions.
The center section of the 30 ft. narrow center and 40 ft. units are equipped with 12.5L x 15" tires on 8-bolt hubs. All hubs include grease fittings and rims have valve stem protectors.

Depth is set with rephasing hydraulic cylinders located on each set of wheels. (Shown with transport lock installed.)

A non-hydraulic hitch is available as an option. As with the Hydraulic Hitch, this long hitch follows the line of draft and practically eliminates side draft, allowing the Supercoulter to pull evenly.

Proven benefits of using a Summers Supercoulter

Wheat direct seeded on field that had previously grown beans. Supercoulter was not used prior to seeding.

Beautiful wheat field illustrating accurate seed placement without plugging. The Supercoulter was used on this field prior to seeding.

Heavy corn residue from last fall's combining. Note long stalks... just the thing to plug seeding equipment.

Close up illustration of residue after treatment with Supercoulter. Note stalks cut to small lengths allowing easy diversion by seeder. Plugging is very unlikely.

Seeded bean field with resulting furrow left after row crop seeder was plugged with old corn crop residue.

Pile of corn stalk residue almost 2 ft. high that plugged seeder in the field above.

The Summers Model 104 Mounted Harrow is available as an option on all Supercoulters. These heavy, long spring tine harrows assist in a more thorough distribution of residue.

When used with the Hydraulic Hitch, the tractor remote can be placed in the float position allowing the machine to follow the field contours for a perfect seedbed.

Mounted harrow can be locked up when not needed.
