This versatile piece of equipment can be used behind seeders to firm the soil, increasing seed-to-soil contact. It can also be used behind tillage implements or by itself as a minimum tillage tool. The coil packer leaves a unique herringbone pattern on the surface that reduces erosion concerns, while raising yields.

Features may include:

• Coil packers leave a herringbone pattern in the soil, compared with the smooth finish produced by standard land rollers. The herringbone pattern is less susceptible to runoff, which can help reduce erosion concerns.

• Both three- and five-section units have hydraulically folding wings for efficient transport.

• The coil sections are independently spring-mounted with Super-Flex C-Shanks. This patented system helps transfer weight from the wheels to the coils, while allowing them to follow ground contours.

• The 1-3/4 inch coils apply 150 pounds of pressure per foot to size clumps and firm the seedbed without compacting the soil. Optional narrow spacing coils made from 2-inch tubing with 3-3/4-inch pitch offer additional residue management. They also leave a herringbone pattern on the surface that helps prevent erosion.

• The 4-inch-by-4-inch steel tube frame holds up to tough use.

• The extra long hitch allows the Coil Packer to make easy turns behind air seeders or tillage implements of the same width.
