Deere announces new series of strip-till equipment

John Deere, Olathe, Kansas, has introduced a new series of strip-till equipment to help farmers till where it matters most.

The new series includes a pair of integral models, and three drawn models, to match dry fertilizer or anhydrous applications.

The new strip-till units give farmers the ability to combine nutrient application and tillage into a single, efficient field pass, potentially reducing the need for additional trips across the field.

Farmers can choose from the John Deere ST12 and ST16 Integral; or ST12, ST16, and ST18 drawn models that come from the factory ready to work in different soil and field conditions. Drawn models are available in 12, 16, or 18 rows, with tanks that can carry up to 10 tons of dry fertilizer.

The ST12 and ST16 are available on 30-inch spacing and the ST18 is available on 20- or 22-inch spacing. Integral models are available in 12 or 16 rows. The ST12 and ST16 are available on 30-inch spacing.
