Specialty Service Matched Tillage Equipment To Your Needs

Specialty service matched tillage equipment to your needs TILLAGE EUIPMENT Miscellaneous 17-1-30 My brother and I are a couple of Western Kansas dryland farmers and we'd like to tell your readers about a new consulting business we've started to take advantage of our years of experiences from working in the service and research departments of tillage manufacturers. Our specialty is matching tillage equipment to specific farming practices. We do hands-on tuning and adjustment of equipment and even redesign them, if necessary. We also consult in the design and testing of new tillage equipment for manufacturers. We've had experience all over the world from Australia to Canada while working for tillage equipment manufacturers and know that a high percentage of tillage equipment is out of level and in need of adjustment. That adds wear and tear to equipment and may result in uneven fields and excessive fuel consumption. Tractors have so much horsepower today that it's easy to "drag" a piece of equipment across a field without realizing it's not adjusted properly for optimum performance. The only way to properly adjust equipment is in the field under load. In many cases, once we have adjusted a machine, the operator will be able to shift up a gear because of reduced draft. We work on chisels, drills, disks, and many other kinds of field equipment. Prices charged depend on the size and type of equipment.
