• Front Notched Disc Blades are ideal for aggressive tillage, or simply cutting seed openings. 

• Front Spiked Rollers will create pockets to hold seed and initiate germination, aggressive angling can remove existing stands by their roots. 

Spiked Drive Roller

To increase germination, the in-base rear Nylon Cultipacker levels and breaks up soil clods, pressing the seed into the soil for improved seed-to-soil contact, firms the seed bed, and creates furrows to trap and channel water.
