Sub-soilers: Mechanical Trip Paratill®

Mechanical Trip Leg ParatillProven soil loosening is now available with protection from rocks, stones or other obstructions that lie hidden in your fields. The new Bigham Brothers Mechanical Trip Paratill® incorporates the award winning leg design to loosen soil without destroying soil structure. Heavy duty mechanical toggle will trip when underground obstruction is encountered, protecting the leg and wear surfaces. Large diameter pivot pins and heavy wall pivot bushings are designed for durable service in tough field conditions.

The Mechanical Trip Paratill® can be equipped to match your operation. The versatile frame can be spaced for overall loosening across the entire field or for zone loosening of row crops. Leg mounting brackets are designed so that legs can be set on any spacing.
