The Joker HD primary tillage concept provides deep soil loosening to break up compaction, aggressive residue sizing and mixing to accelerate decomposition, and uniform consolidated soil structure. Obtain thorough horizontal fracture up to 10 inches of working depth while creating an optimum environment for future seedbed preparation. Simple yet rugged in design, the Joker HD concept features maintenance free bearings on both blades and a finishing system along with rubber torsion mounted blade arms to cushion abrupt impacts from foreign objects. Symmetrical blade configuration ensures superior engagement and trailing quality during tillage operations. | |
Robust concept design for deep primary tillage applications | |
Aggressive blade angle of 22 degree with 10 degree lay over for residue sizing and intensive soil and residue mixing. | |
Residue UtilizationMaximize the agronomic benefits of post-harvest residue by promoting accelerated decomposition. Intense residue sizing provides more “open doors” for soil bacteria and fungi to initialize the residue decomposition process. Unlock the nutrient and organic matter values remaining in post-harvest residues to benefit the nutrienial needs of future crops. Promote healthly crop environment by rapidly decomposing residue that harbor pathogens and dangerous pests. | |
Uniformity and ConsistencyBlade angle and mounting design ensures consistent engagement and provides uniform working action during primary tillage. Thorough horizontal fracture to the working depth insure uniform soil structure through the working horizon zone. Deep loosening of compacted soil along with residue sizing and mixing sets the stage for next years optimum seedbed. RollFlex finishing system breaks clods and clumps, creating a level soil surface. RollFlex finishing system consolidates worked soil which creates a capillary action and enhances decomposition of residue. | |
Advantages of Joker HD
| |
A feature that sets the Joker HD model apart from the Joker RT tillage line is its single blade per mounting arm, larger 24 inch blades, and the agressive 22 degree angle with 10 degree layover. | |
With its 10 inches of possible working depth, the Joker HD handles fall tillage with ease, while loosening and mixing in remaining residues. |
