550 C-Shank Features & Benefits

7 INCH SHANK SPACING WITH 7INCH SWEEPS

Salford C-Shank Cultivators have 7 inch shank spacing with 7 inch wide sweeps.
The spring trip shanks have between 200 and 270 pounds tip pressure and provide 26 inches of under frame clearance.

HEAVY DUTY FRAMES

Salford cultivators have heavy-duty frames with oversized hinge pins for durability and longevity. Salford’s durable frame design allows for an option hitch so that growers can pull packers or other field finishing tools.

HYDRAULIC SELF-LEVELING FRAMES FOR IMPROVED FINISH AND EASE OF USE

The self-leveling frame sections of Salford cultivators follow ground contours exceptionally well. The unique frame design allows cultivators to remain level front to back and section to section as the machine follows ground undulations, providing reliable results in varying conditions.

TANDEM AXLES MAINTAIN OPERATING DEPTH AND INCREASE DURABILITY

Found on all Salford cultivators’ mainframe, primary wing, and secondary wings. The tandems ensure that shovels on each cultivator section run at even depth as the cultivator crosses uneven ground, providing exceptionally consistent results.

LEVEL THE FIELD WITH ADJUSTABLE, DURABLE FINISHING OPTIONS

Salford C-Shank Cultivators can be fitted with 3 finishing options.
Salford heavy duty tine harrows features a simple pitch adjustment setting to customize your filed finish and evenly distribute residue.
Salford rolling baskets are designed to size soil clods for good seed to soil contact.

  • 3 rows of 1/2 inch heavy duty tine harrow bars
  • 3 rows of 1/2 inch heavy duty tine harrow bars and a single 11 inch rolling basket
  • 3 rows of 1/2 inch heavy duty tine harrow bars and a single 14 inch rolling basket
