It usually penetrates six inches deep or deeper, and uses implements such as a chisel plow, ripper, heavy disk, or mulch tiller. Its aim is to fracture or loosen soil and mix residue and fertilizer into the tilled Plow: 2410, 240 and 610 Disk: 2625 Moldboard Plow: 3710, 975, and 995 Mulch Tiller: 714 Rippers: 512, 2100, 2700, 2720, 913 and 915 Secondary TillageSecondary Tillage is shallow Tillage usually less than six inches.

3 Its goal is to kill weeds, level soil, break clods, or incorporate herbicides and nutrients. Secondary Tillage uses light disks, field cultivators, mulch finishers, crumblers, or similar tools. Secondary Tillage is not necessarily preceded by primary : 425, 637, 650, 670, 2620, and 2623 Field Cultivators: 2210 Mulch Finisher: 2310 Vertical TillageVertical Tillage is any type of deep Tillage that doesn t create a horizontal layer to break up surface soil compaction, or smooth out areas in a field with shallow rills from water erosion or ruts and tire tracks from agricultural equipment. Vertical Tillage : 2623 VTNutrient ApplicationNutrient application is to obtain maximum crop yield by managing nutrients in the soil.

4 This is accomplished by utilizing tools that allow for efficient and precise delivery of dry and liquid Applicators: 2510C, 2510H and 2510 SSeeding TillageSeeding Tillage is shallow usually three to four inches. Its major goals are to dislodge weed seeds, fracture soil, and provide a temporary cavity for seed placement. It is performed by air seeders and metered Hoe Drill: 1830 and 1835 Nutrient Application ..25-27 Conventional Applicator Knives ..26 Heavy-Duty Strip-Till Knives ..26 Pin-on Points ..26 Nutrient Applicator Parts Detail ..27 Disk Blades and Bearings ..28-53 Introduction ..29-35 Plain Edge ..36 Vertical Tillage ..37 Rollable Edge ..37 Cutout Edge ..37 All-Makes Raised Flat Center (Crimped).

Every year is different. Crops, weeds, and weather conditions vary. Your weed-management plan needs the flexibility to handle change and cost years you may be able to accomplish your weed-management goal by spraying.

6 Other years, Tillage alone may be the best choice. Much of the time, however, combining managed Tillage with a site-specific chemical application will give you the most complete and cost-effective weed kill. And it optimizes your seed and chemical investment. Because conditions are ever changing, you may need to mix and match various ground-engaging tools from year to year on your implement. john deere offers a full product line of premium-quality tools with a variety of product features to provide flexibility to meet these changing deere Soil-Management SolutionsTillage helps soil dry sooner and more uniformly, especially high-residue or poorly drained fields. Tillage warms the soil earlier in the spring, so you may be able to plant sooner, use longer-season seed varieties, and harvest later.

7 Crop dries in the field, not the can help reduce insect and plant disease problems. The risk of insect damage increases as Tillage decreases and more crop residue remains. The mixing action of Tillage helps reduce the population of pests such as cutworms, slugs, and stalk makes it easier to control soil fertility. By applying fertilizer, lime, and manure directly into the soil, you get more even distribution to the crop and lose less beneficial material. Incorporation also reduces volati zation and runoff of surface-applied commercial nitrogen and is the low-cost way to manage weeds. Pre-plant incorporation of herbicides with a Tillage pass lets you use less chemicals and, with consistent distribution, use them more effectively.

8 Plus, Tillage kills weeds and volunteer plants before the crop goes is the most economical solution for soil compaction in the top 8 to 12 inches of soil. Even by eliminating all pre-plant Tillage , compaction can still develop from trips over the field by combines, grain carts, fertilizer and manure applicators, trucks, and can benefit the environment. A rough, residue-covered soil surface from fall Tillage increases water absorption and reduces runoff and wind erosion. Mixing fertilizer, manure, lime, and herbicides into a residue-covered surface on your seedbed pass further reduces runoff into surface of tillageABCDEFCrop-Care TillageCrop-care Tillage begins when seeds begin to germinate.

9 Tilling the soil kills weeds, increases aeration, and improves water infiltration all important for optimum plant growth. If crusting occurs before emergence, a rotary hoe is used to break up the crust and uproot small weeds. Row-crop cultivators are used not only to till and shape the soil, but also to fertilize and apply , Shovels & HardwareSweeps, Shovels & HardwareXtra-Life sweepsFor those who demand even more from their Tillage tools, john deere offers Xtra-Life coating, a special alloy coating applied to the high-wear areas of the Tillage Parts (shank, point, and blade). The coating is then melted in via a high-heat process that allows the coating to blend into the base metal. The end result is Tillage Parts with extended life and reduced wear on Parts that are key to Tillage tool Characteristics and Results (When should a sweep be replaced?)

10 Tillage tools wear during their performance. Too much wear affects weed-management results. When tools show on the following wear characteristics, the tool should be replaced. Hardware john deere specifies certified Grade 5 or Grade 8 hardware for use with our Tillage products. These certified products provide:1. High hardness ratings for long wear life and High yield-strength ratings for maximum strain High tensile-strength ratings for excellent fracture characteristics are designed to provide long-wearing and reliable hardware recommendations are matched to the sweep work requirements to ensure excellent sweep retention and rigidity.
