Durability in the Field: Tillage Parts That Keep Your Farm Equipment Running

When your tillage equipment breaks down in the middle of  working your fields, it’s not just frustrating—it’s a potential setback for the entire season. We understand the long hours, the unpredictable weather, and the pressure to get it all done before the next rain hits.

That’s why it’s so important to invest in high-quality tillage parts that you can count on when you need them most. Whether you’re working with conventional tillage, strip tillage, or no-till farming, having reliable tillage solutions ensures your farm operations keep moving. 

Let’s dive into how these tillage methods work and the different tillage parts that will help keep you  productive in the field, even when the pressure is on.

1. Conventional Tillage

When you’re dealing with heavy residue or compacted soil, conventional tillage methods—like vertical tillage or high-speed tillage—are what you rely on to get the job done. 

This method is your go-to when you need to break up tough soil, manage weeds, and create a seedbed ready for planting. Whether you’re preparing to plant corn, soybeans, or wheat, conventional tillage can be a lifesaver when conditions call for serious soil work. 

But it also means putting your equipment through constant pressure and the last thing you need is a breakdown when you’re racing against the weather.

How to maintain tillage equipment is crucial to avoiding these breakdowns. From checking for worn-down parts to greasing your hubs, regular maintenance can save you precious hours in the field.

 

Important Replacement Parts for Conventional Tillage:

Disc Blades

Your first line of defense for cutting through residue and tough soil.

Hubs

Keep your disc blades running smoothly through the soil, essential for efficient operations.

Moldboard Plow Parts

Designed for turning the soil over efficiently and burying leftover crop residue or sod, these parts help you perform deep tillage that improves aeration. 

Ripper Points

Adaptable to various soil types, from clay to loam, our ripper points ensure you can perform deep tillage without compromising on efficiency. They lift and shatter the soil to remove compaction.  

Sweeps

Tackle tough field conditions with our high-wear sweeps, designed to reduce frequent maintenance.

Harrow Tines

Smoothing and leveling the soil surface is key for creating a good seedbed.  Our durable harrow tines reduce wear and tear, ensuring you finish the job efficiently.

Scrapers

Prevent soil buildup on your discs and shanks to maintain smooth operation.

Roller Bearings

Reduce friction and keep your heavy-duty tillage equipment performing under pressure.

2. Strip Tillage

We know some of you prefer strip tillage because it’s all about preserving your soil profile.   You’re tilling only where it matters—disturbing a narrow strip of soil for planting, while leaving the rest of the field undisturbed. 

This method allows for better moisture retention, minimizes erosion, and improves soil health over time.

Strip tillage works well for row crops like corn and soybeans, especially in areas where managing moisture is critical. But to get the best results, your Strip-Till equipment needs to be in top shape.
 

Key Replacement Parts for Strip Tillage:

Coulters 

Sharp and durable, these cut through residue to create the perfect seedbed.

Row Cleaners 

Used on Strip -till equipment to remove small stones and crop residue out of the way so the shanks don’t drag.

Strip Till Shanks

The tooth and shank protector mount to the shank and loosen soil in the strip, giving roots space to grow deep.

Fertilizer Knives

Deliver nutrients precisely where they’re needed.

Leveling Chains or Baskets

These leave the ground level and slightly firm, providing a great seedbed.

3. No-Till Farming

We get it—no-till farming is more than just a method; it’s a commitment to sustainable farming practices. But we also know that no-till can be hard on your equipment. 

Planting directly into residue requires tough, reliable Planter and Drill parts to keep everything running smoothly. No-till is ideal for crops like soybeans and wheat, especially on erosion-prone land.

 

Must-Have No-Till Parts:

No-Till Coulters

Tough enough to cut through thick residue while minimizing soil disturbance.

Seed Boots

Ensure precise seed placement in heavy residue without disturbing the soil.

Gauge Wheels

Keep your planting depth consistent, even across tough terrain.

Firming Wheels

Press seeds into the soil for better contact, ensuring strong germination.

Seed Tubes

Guide seeds perfectly into place, even through heavy residue.

Great place to buy planter and tillage parts. They have a lot in stock.
