Orthman introduces all new seedbed preparation system

   This versatile deep tillage, seedbed preparation and fertilizer application machine does just what the name implies. The 1tRIPr is a time proven product with years of service. The 1tRIPr will work equally well for an Iowa strip-till enthusiast or a Kansas pivot farmer. The unique tooling combination allows the 1tRIPr to follow the old rows, however, the incredible trash handling capabilities allows the farmer to change row direction at will. "Perhaps most exciting for me," states designer Lynn Flaming, "is the way the corn comes up in standing wheat stubble." "Eco fallow corn production is probably the most profitable thing on our farm, and the 1tRIPr provides that perfect stand of corn farmers have been looking for." The 1tRIPr is available either as a stand-alone strip-til machine for the corn soybean rotation market in Iowa and Illinois, or as a one-trip seedbed planting system for the pivot farmer of the high plains. Truly versatile is the best description of the L & M 1tRIPr.

The 1tRIPr also does precision placement of the fertilizer.

SPECIFICATIONS:

Weight:

The 1tRIPr is much lighter and more compact than comparable machines. 

Trash handling:

This machine handles trash like nothing before it. One farmer observing it in the field stated "this thing manages trash." Trash, or crop residue is a resource and should be viewed as such. The real eye opener for us has been the dryland or "eco-fallow" corn. If we can raise 120 - 130 bushel dryland corn, think what adding a little water will do. The secret is residue management. The 1tRIPr should never be confused with no-til. Actually, lots of tillage is taking place in the seeding band, with the end result being a firm, clean, well tilled seed-bed.

Fertilizer placement: 

The machine is designed to allow the precision placement of starter fertilizer to the side and below the seed without additional fertilizer attachments to the planter.

Versatility:

 Unlike a ridge-til planter that only works if you have a ridge, the 1tRIPr has worked well in every condition we have introduced it to. From tilled ground in preparation for dry-beans, to strictly undisturbed corn-stalks, the 1tRIPr will always produce a planter ready seedbed.

 These farmers used the one-tRIPr last year, and would be candid in their evaluation.
