Planting System
The Martin-Till® Planting System has proven itself in no-till and minimum-till fields around the world, saving farmers time, trouble and money while maximizing seed emergence, stand development and yields. It’s one reason why Martin-Till is the most trusted name in no-till.
CLEAR
Residue Clearing & Side Treader Wheels
Residue clearing wheels and side treader wheels clean crop residue, dirt clods and other obstacles from the row in order to improve:
- Furrow cleaning, for improved seed-to-soil contact
- Planter row unit ride, for less bounce and twisting of
unit - Ease of disc v-opener cutting by lightly tilling the
seed furrow - Consistency of emergence by allowing soil to warm
up sooner
CONTROL
Smart Clean™ Row Cleaner Adjustment System

- Enhanced row unit ride
- Improved ability to properly clean the soil ahead of seed furrow to reduce residue in furrow
- Wireless control allows for less equipment in the cab
- 1 psi increments allow for more precise row
- cleaner control
- Eliminates dangerous, time-consuming manual row cleaner adjustments
- Ability to lift up to reduce furrowing in loose soil or push down in heavy residue at the press of a button

- Integrated design with row cleaner at front of row unit
- Low- to high-volume rate options
- Single or dual placement. Dual UMOs allow for yield-enhancing 2 X 3 x 2 fertilizer application
- Place nitrogen and fertilizer below soil surface toreduce off-site movement
- Increase nutrient use efficiency, early-season vigorand yields

- Fracture sidewall compaction to improve root development
- Improve closing action in difficult cover crop situations by adding filler plates
