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 fullfill 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, 20, 23, 30 (standard or narrow center), 40 and 50 feet.

The Hydraulic Hitch (U.S. Pat. No. 7,188,680) permits the operator to transfer weight from the front gang to the rear gang or 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 can be equipped with straight coulters on front rank (left picture) and 13-wave coulters (right picture) on rear. This combination is effective on heavy residue in a variety of field conditions.

Units can also be equipped with several combinations of blades as shown in the Blade Selection Chart on the next page.

Utilizing the proven slicing smooth blades on the front gang and the 1-1/4” or 1-3/4” wave, soil moving blades on the rear gang allows the operator to hydraulically determine field finish from the tractor seat.

With this blade combination, 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.

Hydraulic Hitch can be ran in float position in rocky conditions to dampen impact.

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" thick and spaced on 10" centers for an effective coverage of 5".

Dual axles equipped with high floatation tires mounted on heavy duty hubs assist with depth control and aid flotation in a variety of ground conditions.

See specifications for standard and optional tires and 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.)
