BLU-JET StripTill Implement
Coulter Blades
• 3”-4” Deep (make sure hub is not running in the ground)
• If blades are new or being used for the rst time in a season,
or if residue is hair pinning, sharpening each blade will assist
in cutting during the rst few acres of operation. After the
rst few acres, blades will self-sharpen
Residue Managers – Light pressure setting (particularly in light soils)
Shank depth – Minimum 4” deep from ground level (optimum depth
for fertilizer placement is 6”-8”)
