Low-profile lifter sweeps
Low-profile lifter sweeps are
far
superior to slice into soil and fracture soil
above
it. Pulls much easier. No bulldozing.
No tearing
plastic. No over-rated gadgets.
Also available to retro-fit
other brands.
We believe you'll be another completely
satisfied operator.
SATISFACTION
GUARANTEED

Option - Ripper points
Standard lifter sweeps can be replaced with ripper
points to penetrate unusually hard ground, possibly from
wheel compaction or standing water. While such
conditions can be improved otherwise, ripper points can
solve today's problem.
Further, the larger lifters can simply be used as a field
ripper or to loosen compacted bed furrows.

"TOP 10" LIFTING POINTS
1
Like other tillage jobs, work soil at the right time for
best results. Hard, dry soil makes any lifter pull
harder than intended. Wet soil does not properly
fracture and soil sticking to plastic is likely. Effects
vary with soil type.
2
Field preparation includes mowing and possibly spraying
vines and residue. Don't spray too late. Season-long
weed management has many benefits.
3
35 to 60 HP should pull a lifter in "normal" conditions.
Don't assume heavier equipment will do a better job.
4
Plastic mulch can tear if soil is too hard, if not
driving straight or if lifter sweeps are too aggressive.
We have solutions for all.
5
Concave disks turn away covering soil in front of lifter
shanks. Rigid shanks allow concave disks to cut
better with machine weight. Straight coulters
penetrate best in heavier residue and/or harder
ground.
6
Shear-bolt safety features are for unexpected
obstructions. Most growers don't choose rocky fields
since problems can be many with plasticulture.
7
"Spring-reset" or "spring-cushion" safety features are
pricey for the small farm. Spring-rest (sometimes
erroneously labeled as "automatic-rest") has a
flex-point to prevent machinery damage and does
not force lifter sweeps into the ground. True
"automatic reset" offers a break-out point for
most consistent penetration as well as providing safety.
8
In principle, the very best retrieval job first depends
on the very best plastic application and maintenance.
Long before lifting time, difficulties can start with
burying mulch too deep or with soil compaction from
wheel traffic or standing water. If needed, make changes
to simplify plastic retrieval.
9
Look to get plastic retrieval done in a fraction of the
time even with an initial learning curve. Look to fully
realize benefits in the second season and the equipment
usually pays for itself by that time.
10
Like everything else, manage plastic
retrieval with patience. Any machine can seem lacking when trying
to do the job in a hurry. |
