Problem – Clearing tough trash when planting without plugging.
Solution – Sunco Tiger Tooth Trash Discs

     Farming in trash requires the right equipment. Leaving more residue when planting to prevent wind and water erosion is a necessary and accepted farming practice. How to move the trash and make an acceptable seedbed has been a problem. Trash whippers with smooth or notched discs move too much soil, causing unwanted planting depressions and leaving the seedbed susceptible to crusting. Finger wheels have no concavity and when placed at an angle skid through the soil, which can bend teeth, and tend to push and wrap trash.

     Sunco’s Tiger Tooth trash discs solve the problems of trash farming. A concave disc when placed at an angle will turn easily and flow material to the side. Concavity, along with Sunco’s unique tooth design, allows the trash discs to contact material in the seedbed, then flow and release it in the center of the row. Sunco also separates the lead and trail discs. This is very important, because when just moving trash, trash is all that turns the discs. If they are competing for the same stalk, root balls, or residue, they will stop turning and plug. The separation of the two discs allows each disc to move material and not compete with the other disc for the same material. Sunco Row Cleaners with exclusive disc concavity, unique tooth design, and disc separation, allow planting in the toughest trash conditions without plugging!

Problem – Precisely place high amounts of fertilizer while planting
Solution – Sunco Nutri Mate II

     Sunco’s Nutri Mate II mounts to the row unit of the planter. As a result, the depth control for the nutrient is based on where the seed is placed. The parallel links of the planter unit let the Nutri Mate II float to always place the nutrient in the same place in relation to the seed. There are 3 depth and 3 distance adjustments. The delivery system of the Nutri Mate II allows for accurate placement of high volume of fertilizer (up to 50 gallons) to be used as starter and continued nutrient for plant growth. The “V” opening is then closed with the gauge wheel of the planter row unit. It can be mounted to the individual row units on Case IH, John Deere, Kinze and White planters. The Nutri Mate II will work in all types of farming operations – ridge till, no till, minimum till, or conventional tillage.
