Strip-Till Unit For Planting Trees

Strip-Till Unit For Planting Trees MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous 19-5-24 When "dragged" along the ground by a small farm tractor, this new strip tiller unit removes surface vegetation and digs up the surface down to several inches to make it easy to plant small tree seedlings. Developed in Sweden, the big metal star wheel is designed to work over sticks and small branches. The star wheel trips manually or automatically, depending on the model, if vegetation or debris build up in front of it, or it if hits a solid object. The automatic trip version sells for right at $2,000. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Forestry Authority, Wye & Avon Conservancy, Bank House, Bank Street, Coleford, Glos.
