McFarlane C3 - Seedbed Management

Chop

• Use as a residue management tool to roll over, knock down, and scatter crop residue
• The 7-blade, 18” diameter open-center Dura-Reel® chops through residue, allows for more material flow, and resists plugging in wet, sticky soil conditions
• Unique soil engaging components help minimize erosion and level the seedbed

Crimp

• Crimp mature cover crops to kill without chemical application
• Crimp immature cover crops to provide mulch and suppress weeds
• Beveled blades require less weight than conventional crimpers

Condition

• Create a level seedbed with minimal tillage
• The vertical action of the blade at the soil surface avoids creating a density layer.
• Plant earlier in damp, cold soils by exposing the soil and accelerating soil warming. Cover more acres per hour with operating speeds up to 10 mph

• One piece frame for easier assembly and less maintenance
• No wing pull cable or bracket
• Open frame area for mounting cover crop seeder or chemical applicator
• Open-centered reel with maintenance free hubs and double bracket for added strength
• 12” gap crimpers with rubber torsion cord suspensions creates a full width coverage
• Radial tires come standard
• HP Requirement: 5-7 HP/foot
