More No-Tilling Options Available With New Equipment On The Market
As no-tilling continues to spread, manufacturers take notice and provide new machinery to help with conservation tillage. Here’s a look at some of the choices offered, many of which were introduced at the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, Ky.

The planters fold to a 14-foot, 7-inch transport width. The 3-inch forward toolbars accommodate fertilizer openers. A toolbar flexes at several points up to 20 degrees, allowing the unit to follow the ground contour. List prices range from $112,345 to $ 203,752.
