The company dedicates its ongoing innovation efforts to precision, durability and versatility in the field, while improving the economics of farming for producers worldwideWhat are some of the latest advancements in tillage equipment for seed bed preparation?We launched a new series of high-speed tillage tools over the last two years and seed bed preparation was key in our design focus from the beginning.  For example, we optimized the blade angle and spacing between the rows of coulters on the HALO HSD (our compact disk variant of the HALO) to optimize soil flow for more even distribution.  We also worked hard to eliminate a common problem seen with compact disks, which is “porpoising”.  This is a phenomenon that occurs in tougher soil conditions where the front coulters begin to lift out of the ground at higher speed and them re-engage, causing the tool to oscillate similar to how a porpoise swims in the water.  Obviously, this leaves an undesirable condition for seeding, so it was important for use to resolve it.  Without revealing our secrets too much, we paid close attention to the manner in which we applied down pressure.  It took a lot of testing, but we are confident we have one of the best high-speed disks on the market for sed bed preparation.We also introduced a new finishing system for the HALO series this past year, which is a double rolling basket system.  We really like to leveling job this system does.  It’s a pair of 14” diameter rolling baskets with opposing helixes on a walking axle.  The down pressure can be adjusted from the cab of the tractor.  We were surprise at just how versatile this setup is in a lot of different soil types and conditions.  It is optimal for seed bed preparation.We also have the new HALO VRT.  This is our most advanced til
