    Resumen

    Strip-till is a growing minimum tillage solution that clears residue and tills 203 mm (8 in.) to 254 mm (10 in.) strips, leaving the rest of the row undisturbed. This allows operators to till where tillage matters, produce a nutrient-rich welcoming seed environment, reduce input costs, maintain yield, and maximize profitability.

    Beneficios

    Whether an operator prepares ground in the spring or fall, just one pass across the field with the John Deere strip-till tool will complete compaction management, nutrient application, and seedbed preparation, all in one pass. In many situations, producers moving from conventional tillage to strip-till have reduced trips across the field by as many as four passes. By only making one pass across the field, sustainability is at its peak. Strip-till reduces soil erosion, minimizes nutrient run-off, and conserves moisture, all while reducing input costs for the customer. Maximizing the efficiency of every liter or gallon of fuel is critical for boosting the profitability of farming operations.

    Additional details

    John Deere ST Series Options

     

    Customers can choose between dual coulter or shank tillage. Coulters will allow earlier field access to accelerate seedbed preparation. Shanks will increase soil fracturing in tough field conditions and allow for anhydrous ammonia application. Four bolts per row unit allow for simple change over between shank and dual coulter configurations. More ST Series options are listed below.

  • Minimal out-of-cab adjustments increases uptime for the operator
    Resumen
    In-cab controls and adjustable air regulators
    In-cab controls and adjustable air regulators

    Several functions of the strip-till tool can be controlled and regulated from the cab using a switch box that houses the following functions:

    • Fold: Folds and unfolds the toolbar; enables lift wheel, inner wing, and outer wing switches
    • Tilt: Tilts the toolbar in the fold section
    • Scales: Turns on the scales with a dry system
    • Hydraulic drives/AC: Turns on the power to operate the fertilizer drives and air compressor
    • Zone cleaner lift: Raises and lowers row cleaners
  • Depth control to enable consistent operating depth
    Resumen

    The row-unit tillage depth is set based on achieving the desired outcome of the following factors: compaction management, fertilizer placement and berm creation. Depth settings vary between dual coulter and shank tillage options.

     

    To enable consistent operating depths across the machine, the downforce system is split into two circuits: one for row-units that are running in wheel tracks (blue airline) and one for the remaining row-units (black airline). This allows for independent control of the rows running in a potentially more compacted portion of the machine. Operators can observe the parallel linkage position across the rows while operating and adjust the downforce as needed.

    Air regulators for row unit downforce

    • Yellow: Row cleaner lift pressure
    • Green: Row cleaner down pressure
    • Black: Row-unit down pressure (rows not running in wheel tracks)
    • Blue: Row-unit down pressure (rows running in wheel tracks)
    Dual coulters

    Operating depth is set using the air pressure regulators mounted in the cab. These control the amount of pressure in the downforce airbag(s) located on each row-unit. Operating depth can be set from 5 cm (2 in.) to 15 cm (6 in.) by varying the downforce pressure.

    Shanks
    Pin-adjust depth on shank equipped row-units
    Pin-adjust depth on shank equipped row-units

    Operating depth is adjusted on shank equipped row-units with two pins. The shallow setting is approximately 23 cm (9 in), and the deep setting is approximately 28 cm (11 in.).

    Limpiadores de hileras

    Optional floating row cleaners equipped with a pneumatic cylinder are available. They are easily adjusted with the cab mounted air regulators to adapt to varying residue conditions.

  • Precision ag technology utilizes integrated steerable hitch

    Benefits growers with rolling terrain, contours, or other field conditions that may affect implement drift. It ensures consistent strip alignment when making headland turns.

     

    Enables plug and play functionality with the John Deere Active Implement Guidance™ Ready option. For more information, see Active Implement Guidance in the Sales Manual.

  • Additional optionality with dual coulters or shanks

    John Deere ST Series offers the option of coulters or shanks with the ability to switch between them in changing field conditions. 

    Dual coulters

    Two vertically mounted blades spaced 127 mm (5 in) apart with a maximum working depth of up to 152 mm (6 in). There are several benefits to utilizing dual coulters such as:

     

    • Industry exclusive in-cab depth control
    • Productivity enhancement with working speeds up to 16 km/h (10 mph)
    • Uniform fertilizer distribution over the entire width of the strip, preventing hot band of fertilizer
    • Minimal soil disturbance and residue cutting capabilities

    Shanks

    Shanks have 13 mm (half-inch) NH3 tubes and 2 to 4 vapor knives. A shank is preferred for deeper nutrient banding and fracturing compacted soil layers and can be used for anhydrous application to place the nutrients in the upper area of the root zone. Operating depth is adjusted on shank equipped row units with two pins. The shallow setting is approximately 230 mm (9 in), and the deep setting is approximately 280 mm (11 in).

    John Deere Active Implement Guidance™ system

     

    Utilizes integrated steerable hitch on drawn units to steer the implement to the guidance line provided by the StarFire™ receiver. Without Active Implement Guidance, implements can drift due to varying soil conditions and sloping terrain. Order as Active Implement Guidance ready to include the required hydraulic cylinder, sensor mount, linkage, and hardware.

    AutoPath™ system

     

    Uses data from the first strip-till pass to automatically create full-field guidance lines for the secondary passes such as planting, spraying, and harvest.

     

    Shared signal

     

    Enables StarFire receivers to share information when paired using implement guidance. This allows an implement's StarFire receiver with lower accuracy to take advantage of the higher accuracy used by the tractor receiver.

    AutoTrac™ system

     

    Increases productivity in subsequent crop passes by reducing overlap and maximizing inputs.

     

    Boundary fill

     

    Creates guidance lines from the dimensions of the exterior boundary and track spacing. Allows the operator to work around fence lines and field boundaries with boundary track mode.
