General Information

The unit consists of a tilling mechanism having 6 numbers of cultivator tynes with shovels, a ridging mechanism having 3 numbers of adjustable ridgers  and a planter  having seed hopper with cup feed seed metering device for seed, ground wheel, transmission system and row markers.  Separate furrow openers and closers are eliminated in this unit.
