In
wet springs, residue on no-till fields encourages
moisture retention, making it difficult to
get into the field to plant. Yetter
Rotary Hoes fluff old residue, speeding up
dry time. Penetration is only a fraction
of an inch, ensuring that critical moisture
is retained in the seed zone.
Because rotary hoes do not pick up and move
residue, fields still get protection from
wind erosion as well as other benefits of
no-till. And rotary hoes also offer the traditional
post-planting benefit of quicker germination,
as well as addressing two problems your crop
faces every year: weed control and crust
build-up.
Yetter now offers these multi-purpose tools
in 54- and 60-foot widths that make it possible
to cover large acreages quickly and effectively.
In a business that depends on timing, the
larger rotary hoes are a perfect match.
Yetter 54- and 60-foot rotary hoes fold
flat for safe and easy transport, using powerful
5-by-16-inch hydraulic cylinders.
Larger sizes also mean stronger construction.
The center sections of both new models feature
massive half-inch thick, 7- by-7-inch frames.
Their wings are constructed with durable
3/8-inch thick, 7- by-7-inch tubing. Both
models also boast redesigned heavy-duty hinges.
The 60-foot model has a double-frame center
section with partial double-frame wings.
The new models have the same great features
as the 3500 Series Rotary Hoes that are already
part of the Yetter product line. All Yetter
rotary hoes have a distinct element that
sets them apart from the competition: an
exclusive one wheel per arm design that provides
unmatched flexibility to follow ground contour.
Yetter rotary hoes feature 21-inch wheels
with 16 tines and are riveted for strength.
The teeth have a curved, spoon-tipped tooth
that enters the soil vertically, but comes
out at an angle. Wheel spacing of only three-and-a-half
inches ensures that weeds are ripped out
and crust explodes to aerate crops, yet neighboring
plants are untouched. Herbicides previously
applied to the soil are also thoroughly mixed
in.
Arms are independently spring-cushioned
and curved to follow the contour of the soil
and ensure application of steady down-pressure,
even when following contours and ridges.
The independent arm design also protects
wheels from obstructions.
Yetter rotary hoes also feature optional
gauge wheels that maintain toolbar height
and allow for wheel flexibility, trash guards
to prevent wheel locking and dragging, and
helper springs that increase down-pressure
and crack hard crusts.
