Raptor Strip Tillage Tool

The standard front-folding toolbar design and vertical folding row units provide a narrow transport width of 13’ 6” and compact storage.  A hydraulic jack, CAT 4 bull-pull hitch, safety chain and transport lighting contribute to easier storage and safer road travel.

Wing gauge wheels with 9.5L-15 stubble guard tires on the toolbar provide added stability through the field.

Pull-type ST models without a fertilizer system feature 380/90x46 single wheels and tires on the undercarriage for greater flotation and added stability. 

3-point models can be equipped with an optional flex frame kit for 12-row 36” and 38” folding models which allow the wings to float 15° above and 5° below horizontally to follow uneven terrain.

Additional options for 3-point mounted toolbars include a rear hitch that can tow up to 14,000 lbs. gross vehicle weight with 1,000 lbs. of tongue weight and optional liquid or dry fertilizer shank attachments.

Free-floating 16.5” shark tooth row cleaners with 6-bolt hubs follow ground contours independently from the lead coulter and clear residue from the strip.

The 12.75” diameter solid steel depth band wheel features a standard scraper to prevent mud, rocks and other debris from building up, allowing the operator to run in varying conditions. 

The Raptor strip till tool is available with spring-cushioned auto-reset trip mechanism (Model 2130) with 2,000 lbs. of point load pressure or shear-bolt protected shank (Model 2115) with 5,000 lbs. of shear pressure.  The Model 2130 is ideal for soil conditions with rocks while the 2115 model is ideal for use in rock-free soils.

The replaceable 2 ¼” cast point and 1 ½” wide integrated wear bar provides long-term, trouble-free use.  Replaceable shank wear plates are standard to protect the shank from abrasive soil.

Tool-free width and angle adjustment with automatic locking positions allow the operator to easily change the width of the strip and height of the berm.  Spring down pressure and angle adjustment of the closing coulters provide quick and easy on the go strip-till enhancements.

Each crowfoot conditioning basket rolls independently from the other and features tool-free adjustable down pressure.

Both fertilizer systems feature a standard Raven RCM ISOBUS controller which allows the operator to control the rate from the tractor's virtual terminal screen.  This system integrates with section control and pre-loaded field prescriptions.

The undercarriage on both fertilizer systems features 380/90 x 46 dual wheels and tires maximize flotation and provide a stable ride during road transport.

2-section control for each product and standard blockage monitors alert the operator on the ISOBUS screen when a row unit is blocked.  The application system is powered by a hydraulically operated blower fan that feeds the 2.5” dry fertilizer plumbing. 

Each 6-ton tank is standard with a 4-point load cell scale system that integrates with the ISOBUS controller for accurately tracking dry fertilizer applied and provides convenient rate calibration. 

6- and 8-row 3-point Raptor models can be ordered with a 4-ton dry fertilizer cart that features a pull-type hitch, ladder and tank access platform, 295/75x22.5 dual tires, hydraulic blower fan, 2” plumbing, 2-section control and Raven RCM ISOBUS controller.

Standard flow ball monitors allow the operator to easily monitor the flow to each row.  For quick and easy filling, a standard 3” quick fill is located at the rear of the tank with a tank volume indicator.
