Description of Unit
The Verti-Drill is a pull-type seeding implement.
The implement consist of a three-point drill
mounted on a centre-pivot hitch. The hitch and
drill are integrally connected. No-till coulters are
mounted on the hitch to zone-till strips for seed
furrows. Straight-arm openers on the drill prepare
seedbeds and place the seed. The pivoting action
of the hitch helps drill openers track the coulters.
A contact-drive tire on the drill powers seeding off
a hitch tire. The tongue cylinder controls coulter
depth and transport cylinders raise the drill for
turns and transport.
