Strip-Tillers Keeping Seeing Better Fuel Efficiency

By Dan Zinkand posted on December 13, 2012 | Posted in Strip-Till Farming 101

Sommerfield farms 35 miles southeast of Northfield, Minn., and uses a 12-row Red Ball stripper set to 30-inch spacings, pulled with a 245-horsepower tractor and Flexicoil air cart behind the strip-till unit for fertilizer application.
