Field tested - SUNFLOWER 6630 VERTICAL TILLAGE SYSTEM

摘要

THE SUNFLOWER 6630 is billed by AGCO as a single pass solution for your residue management needs. Three farmers offer their views on how well it lives up to that claim. "It's a wider unit and it works well," says Dave Vandewalle, a cash crop farmer near Dublin, Ontario. "We were running it at about 10 kilometres an hour and it was operating well in that range, but faster then that I don't think it would do as good of a job." "I like the Sunflower because it's a little simpler, not as much to adjust on it as there is on other tillage," says Jeff vanLoon who also farms near Dublin. Don Snetsinger, an AGCO product specialist, says the ease of use is one of the reasons they've been successful with this model. "The reason farmers took to it is because it looks like a disc; they could comprehend how itwould work."
