2021 Summers Supercoulter SC1530 30'

First introduced in 1999, the Supercoulter is the original vertical tillage tool. In fact, it’s still one of the few true vertical tillage tools on the market today. That’s because, while other manufacturers may claim to offer vertical tillage, their equipment usually has concave, angled blades that move soil laterally. This can cause compacted soil layers, defeating the entire purpose of vertical tillage. On the other hand, Summers uses two rows of straight-tracking coulter blades on the Supercoulter to aggressively chop residue and slice through the soil, eliminating soil layers and promoting deep root growth.

Features may include:

Mounted on a rectangular tube frame, the Supercoulter’s blades are designed to run straight for true vertical tillage performance. Simply put, it doesn’t move soil horizontally. Instead, it “scores” the soil, helping to achieve optimal soil fracturing and promoting deep root growth.

The patented hydraulic hitch allows you to transfer weight between the front and rear gangs. Placing more weight on the front helps the Supercoulter slice through tough residue and hard, dry ground. Shifting weight to the rear results in more aggressive soil movement and better residue incorporation. The hydraulic hitch can also be operated in float position, which works well for seedbed preparation and operation in rocky conditions.

The unique Super-Flex™ gang mounting system is designed to absorb shocks from rocks and stumps, providing protection from blade damage. The toggle-mounted, triple-seal ball bearings are also designed to self-align as the gang flexes.

The front and rear gangs can even be equipped with different blade types to match any personal preference. Duracoat blades with WEAR-TUFF™ lining are also available to extend blade life by as much as 3 to 5 times.

Dual axles help the Supercoulter maintain an accurate depth along all field contours. Also, the standard high-floatation tires and heavy-duty hubs are ideal for use in a variety of soil conditions.
