Features
TOOLBAR
ALL-IN-ONE SOLUTION
The pull-type Unverferth Raptor strip tillage tool can be ordered with an integrated dry or liquid fertilizer system for banding fertilizer directly in the row during the strip tillage pass. Pull-type toolbars can also be ordered to just perform a strip-tillage pass along with 3-point mounted toolbars.
MODELS
The Unverferth Raptor strip tillage tool can be ordered as a pull-type or 3-point mounted toolbar. ST models feature a pull-type designed toolbar without a fertilizer application system while MT models feature a 3-point mounted toolbar.
PULL-TYPE
Pull-type models are available as a 12-row or 16-row machine with 30” row spacing. The heavy-duty 7” x 7” toolbar provides reliable operation and features 15° of above and 5° of below horizontal flex to follow uneven terrain.
ROW UNIT
TERRAINPRO
The Raptor strip tillage tool features the innovative TerrainPro row unit that has been developed and tested in a wide range of soil types for consistent tillage depth and accurate fertilizer placement, when equipped.
FREE-FLOATING DESIGN
Each row unit features independent parallel linkage, which allows it to free-float 7” upward and 4” downward to ensure that each shank runs at the same depth for consistent tillage and fertilizer placement.
LEAD COULTER
The 20” diameter lead coulter features 1,500 lbs. of down pressure to slice through the toughest soils and 6-bolt greaseable hubs with 5 layers of seal protection for long-term, trouble-free use.
DEPTH CONTROL WHEEL
Independent row unit depth is maintained by the crowfoot depth control wheel that runs between the row cleaners and the shank for consistent shank depth from row to row.
STRIP TILL SHANK
The shank features tool-free depth adjustment from 4” to 12” deep and a convenient depth gauge which allows the operator to quickly and easily adjust each shank.
CLOSING COULTERS
The 18” notched concave closing coulters on each side of the shank keeps the soil in the path of the trailing basket. Each coulter floats independently from the other to keep constant ground contact through uneven terrain and utilize 6-bolt hubs with triple-lip seals for long-term, trouble-free use.
CONDITIONING BASKET
The trailing 14” diameter crowfoot conditioning baskets break up clods, condition the berm and feature a unique design to prevent plugging with mud, rocks or other debris.
IDEAL PLANTING STRIPS
The TerrainPro row unit leaves a perfectly conditioned strip that warms quickly in the spring, reduces soil compaction and improves overall soil health.
FERTILIZER
BANDING FOR GREATER YIELD
DT models feature a dry fertilizer system and LT models feature a liquid fertilizer system for pull-type Raptor models. Unverferth offers an all-in-one solution from one manufacturer so you can quickly and accurately band your fertilizer in the row during the strip tillage pass.
FERTILIZER CARTS
The fertilizer tank and undercarriage are located behind the toolbar for better row unit visibility from the tractor cab and easier filling from behind the machine.
DRY FERTILIZER
The DT models feature a dry fertilizer system for pull-type Raptors and feature dual tanks for applying 1 or 2 products with a variable rate. The dual 6-ton custom-molded poly tanks provide a total capacity of 12 tons of dry product.
DT MODELS
The tanks feature weather-tight lids that protect the fertilizer and an ergonomic ladder and viewing platform provide convenient access to the top of the tanks.
LIQUID FERTILIZER
The LT models feature a liquid fertilizer system for pull-type Raptors and feature a custom-molded 1200-gallon T-shaped tank that holds the last 50 gallons of liquid in the sump to always maintain a primed pump, even on side hills.
LT MODELS
An Ace 750 PWM hydraulic pump is standard with 4-section control that is integrated into the ISOBUS rate controller to view and control the rate and integrates with section control and pre-loaded field prescriptions.
