600 Floating Hitch Chisel Plow

The 600 Series was designed for the most extreme primary tillage conditions found anywhere in North America, the 600 Series had the depth control accuracy required for air seeding.

28' to 52' working widths, 12" spacing
4" four row tubular frame with corner gusseting to prevent fatiguing in the most extreme conditions
Replaceable Nylatron or case-hardened wear bushings at all critical wear points
Wheel-lift system comprised of rephasing Cessna Wyrlock cylinders connected in series

Frame - 4" tubular frame, 4-row construction, 8'6" frame depth with 4" x 3" tubular hitch
Hydraulic System
- Wheel-lift system - rephasing Cessna Wyrlock cylinders connected in series
- Wing-lift system, Sanborn cylinders
- 5/8" and 3/8" lines with a zinc chromate finish
Precise Depth Control - A Double Line Lock/Pressure Limit Valve was exclusive to our slave cylinder hydraulic depth-control system. It improves cultivator depth control and overall system performance in many ways.
- The hydraulic pressure to the system is kept low when the cultivator is lowered to the depth stop. This means the unit can be raised off the depth stop while still maintaining consistent depth from the wings to the center section.
- This valve ensures no oil transfer between the cultivator depth control system and the tractor. The operator can now raise the unit off the depth stop to work at a shallower depth for long periods of time without having the cultivator creep deeper into the soil. Locking the return side of the slave system ensures that the wing sections maintain a precise depth setting.
- This special valve also eliminates hydraulic creep on the depth control while transporting the cultivator, eliminating the need for the operator to adjust his wheel lift hydraulic system. The result is less danger of an operator accidentally dropping the unit to the ground at highway road speeds.
Scissor-Type Wing-Lift - Scissor-type wing-lift transport system.
Hitch pivot - Hitch pivot with front and back anti-tip protection.

All 600 Series cultivators used a 600 lb. initial tension spring cushion shank assembly

600 lb. initial tension spring cushion shank assembly.
Ductile steel trip casting with a single 1" pivot point and Nylatron wear bushing
1¼" x 2" tempered shanks

Wear Point - There was only one wear point on each spring cushion assembly. That wear point had a nylatron bushing, which required no greasing and was exceedingly resistant to wear. When wear inevitably occurs, simply replace the bushing and the 1" bolt and the spring cushion is completely reconditioned.
Extension Springs - Two extension springs hold your spring cushion with an initial tension of 600 lbs.
