Deep Tillage: MegaTillTM

Bigham Brothers MegatillHigh clearance MegaTillTM shanks penetrates furrows or beds to the depths you want to plow. New shank design has a replaceable chromium carbide shin on the front of the shank. The front portion of the reversible shin is sharpened to reduce drag and field clodding. Exclusive design and fit of point and shin maintain a sleek subsoil profile.

MegaTillTM offers unlimited flexibility to apply precision tillage to your bed crop fields. Shanks may be operated to loosen crop middles without damage to quick growing crops such as corn.

MegaTill Sub-Soiler shanks may also be arranged to loosen an area in the middle of each crop bed, providing a prepared area for crop root growth. Optional knives may be attached to undercut each bed. Crop stalks may be killed and uprooted in one pass. Deep rooted weeds can be cut at a depth to allow your young crop a head start into the growing season.

MegaTill ShankIn addition, tools may be arranged on four bar frames so that shanks are placed in each furrow or with shanks placed in both the top and bottom of each bed.

MegaTill Inter-Row Sub-Soilers are specifically designed to rip the furrow between crop rows. This procedure has been proven effective in shattering compaction caused by tractor traffic and will improve water absorption and reduce runoff, particularly under center pivot irrigation systems, helping you make the most of your precious water resources.

MegaTill Sub-Soilers are equipped with a heavy diamond mast four bar toolbar frame to allow coulter and shank placement at virtually any row spacing. Category III 4" drop hitch provides ground clearance for long shanks. Even numbers of spring loaded swivel coulters and 30" shanks with double bar reinforced clamp packages are included with all standard MegaTill Sub-Soilers to accommodate top of bed placement.

MegaTill Inter-Row Sub-Soilers are equipped on double bar frames with your choice of Double 4x4 or Double 4x7 lower tubes and Category III 4" drop hitch.
