INTRODUCTION
The Orthman
1tRIPr®
preplant tillage tool combines proven strip-till soil management,
precision nutrient placement, and seedbed preparation in a single field pass to provide
unprecedented field efficiency. The
1tRIPr®
name is derived from combining multiple
operations to meet preplant objectives while conserving moisture, soil, time, and money,
in
1tRIP.
The
1tRIPr®
row unit wraparound mount and parallel linkage provide a durable row unit
foundation. The strong foundation, teamed with Orthman’s rigid, folding, or stacking
toolbars, provides supreme implement strength. Four down pressure springs per row unit
supply down pressure to assist with soil penetration. Parallel linkages allow the row unit to
operate independent of the toolbar to provide uniform tillage depth despite terrain varia-
tions.
The depth band coulter assembly initiates the strip-till application. The depth
band provides consistent row unit tooling depth while the coulter cuts all surface
and subsurface residue to reduce rearward tooling interference and aid in residue
decomposition. The coulter also reduces side draft by providing lateral implement stability.
The trash opener assembly reduces field residue directly behind the depth band coulter
assembly prior to the arrival of rearward tooling.
The tillage shank assembly shatters the root zone compacted layer to increase soil
porosity, reduce run off, and allow root systems to utilize deeper soil moisture and
nutrients. Tillage shank assembly fertilizer tube(s) allow precision fertilizer placement
at two depths, if desired, to provide crop plants with timely fertilizer access to maximize
development from germination through maturity.
