2021 Orthman 8000 Series 8315 Cultivator

The wraparound parallel linkage and close-coupled row unit design make the Orthman 8315 Cultivator maneuverable in the field and on the road.

Features may include:

• Unlike mounting systems that transfer draft force solely through U-bolts that can stretch, distort and break, Orthman’s heavy-duty force-through-mount design and wedge locking system join steel to steel to stand up to the rigors of high residue cultivation.

• Orthman’s innovative parallel linkage design allows 8 inches of vertical travel, allowing you to maintain a consistent cut depth for dependable weed kill and precision fertilizer placement when side-dressing regardless of the field terrain.

• Provides 9” of quick and consistent tooling depth control with choice of either the depth band coulter or large-tire gauge-wheel option.

• The rugged 22” depth band coulter easily slices through surface and sub-surface residue to eliminate interference with the sweep while it simultaneously maintains precise depth control.

• The 8315’s big tire front option provides superior flotation with its 8” width and 20.5” diameter, all while it simultaneously maintains precise depth control of the row unit for superior weed cutting.

• Reduce your maintenance workload with the 8315’s heavy-duty sealed bearings that allow you to conquer the toughest cultivating conditions.

• The 8315’s rear shank can utilize multiple Orthman sweep styles, including the single piece sweep, western sweep and super sweep, with blade options to match your row spacing.

• Single Piece Sweep; Cut Widths 14” to 26”

• Western Sweep; Cut Widths 16” to 28”

• Super Sweep; Cut Widths 18” to 26”

• If you need to move more dirt for furrow building, the fully width adjustable Orthman ridging wings are available for all sweep options.

• Precision nutrient placement side-dressing options (liquid or NH3 fertilizer) allow for dual operations in a single pass for greater efficiency. The dual fertilizer tube option splits to each side of the row to precision place fertilizer close to the crop, while the shank mounted knife option can place the fertilizer deeper in the center of the row.

• Dual Fertilizer Tubes

• Shank Mounted Knife

• The 8315 cultivator can be mounted on any of Orthman’s industry-leading rigid or folding toolbars, featuring wide, precision line-bored hinges for smooth folding and extra-engineered strength. The 8315 is available in sizes from 6 to 24 rows in 30” to 40” spacings.

• Orthman toolbars are designed around the original principles of the Orthman internal cylinder folding toolbar first developed in the 1970s. The toolbar’s innovative internal folding cylinder design allows the toolbar to fold while freeing up peripheral toolbar space that’s wasted in external folding cylinder models.

• Add an Orthman Nurse-Tank Hitch to add even more side-dress fertilizer capacity to your cultivator. The TH4 features a telescoping and pivoting hitch tab to allow for easier connection to any trailer.
