Kevin Keopp is one of a growing number of producers switching to twin-row corn. “Kinze just started building twin-row planters,” said Kevin. “Not too long ago, machines for twin rows had to be custom built.”
Kevin did customize his Kinze 3600 16/32 planter to handle minimum tillage in a twin row system using Yetter SharkTooth® residue managers. First, a set of double-wheel residue managers slices through and moves stalks to the left and right. Next, a single-wheel SharkTooth residue manager cleans the space 7.5 inches to the left, clearing the path for the twin row of seeds to be planted.
“I chose Yetter because they had durable product, and I wanted the SharkTooth,” said Kevin. “They cut right through the trash—that’s the most exciting part. I can see it slicing straight through at about 5 miles an hour.”
Kevin is also pleased with the SharkTooth residue manager’s lack of soil disruption. “I don’t run coulters because they pull up too much damp soil. In Minnesota, we’re on the damper side anyway, but the SharkTooth leaves us with dry soil to work with and gets me in the field as early as possible.”
