2021 Orthman 1tRIPr® II Row Unit Base

2021 Orthman 1tRIPr® II Row Unit

The Orthman 1tRIPr® II Row Unit is an engineer process in which individual components work in unison to perform ideal seedbed preparation, precision nutrient placement and optimal root zone conditioning in a single pass. When all of these precision tillage principles are combined, you’ve created the perfect environment to maximize your crop yield while minimizing your inputs.

Features may include:

Parallel Linkage

Parallel Linkage with the all new casted linkage and greaseless bushings, maintains consistent depth and fertilizer placement in uneven field conditions.

• To go from heavy corn residue or cover crops straight to seed-ready beds in a single pass requires rugged, intelligently designed equipment. 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 strip tillage.

Precision Depth Control

• For less soil variation and better planter stands regardless of the crop, Orthman’s innovative parallel linkage design allows 8 inches of vertical travel, allowing you to maintain a consistent depth and fertilizer placement regardless of the field terrain.

• Maintains sub-inch depth accuracy for fertilizer placements

• Consistent tillage and fertilizer depth in all field conditions

• Individual row unit depth control allows the 1tRIPr® II to precision till and fertilize at the desired depth across the entire machine, regardless of the terrain

Depth Band Coulter

Achieve and maintain the ideal seedbed depth

• Orthman is the only strip tillage machine in the industry with a depth band coulter. The rugged 22” depth band coulter easily slices through surface and sub-surface residue to eliminate interference with the shank while it simultaneously maintains precise control of seedbed depth.

• Reduce your maintenance workload with the 1tRIPr® II’s heavy-duty sealed bearings that allow you to conquer the toughest strip-till conditions, while an adjustable scraper cleans the coulter and depth band to run in All Field Conditions.

Adjustable Row Cleaner

RIGID ROW CLEANER

• The Rigid row cleaner features rugged 16” notched disc blades to remove residue and does some first pass tillage for the planting strip, leaving behind a clear path for your planter to follow. Wrench free design to with quick pin adjustment.

FLOATING ROW CLEANER

• The Floating row cleaner features 13” shark tooth style backwards sloping teeth to respond instantly to changing field conditions and moving even the toughest residue to leave behind a clear path for your planter to follow.

Precision Tillage ShankShatter your yield-limiting compaction with optimum root zone conditioning

• The Precision Tillage shank promotes vigorous root growth with the all new patented point that rolls and lifts soil to reduce voids creating the perfect seedbed.

• Root zone conditioning is critical for maximum root growth. To eliminate compaction layers that roots can’t penetrate, you need a rugged shank that completely shatters soil compaction zones. Orthman’s precision tillage shank breaks up clods and hard layers, increases water filtration, eliminates subsoil voids and promotes vigorous root growth through all stages of seed development.

• Rugged 1" x 4" steel shank

• Adjustable depth up to 11” deep

• Eliminates voids, conditions soil

• Increases water filtration
