2021 Orthman 1tRIPr® Row Unit

The Orthman 1tRIPr® Row Unit is an engineered 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. From the practical force-through-mount design to robust rolling baskets, the Orthman Row Unit displays every reason why Orthman is A Tough Act To Follow.

Features may include:

• 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.

• or 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.

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

• 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® ‘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.

• Because a clean row is where seeds grow, Orthman created an adjustable row cleaner featuring rugged 16” notched disc blades to remove residue from the planting strip, leaving behind a clear path for your planter to follow. Easy pin adjustment means there’s no need to get out your wrenches to add extra row cleaner weights for heavy residue.

• 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.
