6630 Series Vertical Tillage Tools 6630 Series Vertical Tillage Tools6630 Vertical Tillage<strong>Sunflower</strong>’s Answer to Vertical TillageThe <strong>Sunflower</strong> 6630 Series Vertical Tillage systemcertainly isn’t the only vertical tillage machine on themarket. It is, however, the only one with its uniquefeatures. And it is the only one with patent-pendingSaber blades. The blades’ unique fluted-wave patterndesign easily cuts through tough residue and efficientlyopens cold, wet soils to the warming action of the sun,allowing producers to plant up to 10 days earlier inthe spring. The front and rear gangs on the 6630 arealso mounted at an 18-degree angle, allowing the 22”blades with 25 flutes and a 1 1/2“ concavity, to mixresidues with just the right amount of soil. In effect,the ratio of soil to residue can be completely controlledby the operating depth of the tool. An operating depthof one to two inches sizes residue and mixes it withjust enough soil to anchor the material and protectit against erosion. To lift more soil and enhance thedecomposition, simply increase the operating depth to3 or 3 1/2“.<strong>Sunflower</strong> - The Ultimate AnswerSF6630-291231. 21’ to 32’ Working Widths2. Conditioning Reels - Optional 10 1/4” six blade spiral reels provide the field finish, crushing clods and firming theseedbed. The reels have adjustable spring down-pressure and feature triple-sealed greaseable bearings.3. Gauge wheels - Control the leading disc gangs to ensure uniform depth. Wheel pivots are service-free UHMW materialand are mounted with parallel linkage to maintain correct wheel alignment.4. <strong>Sunflower</strong> Saber Blades - The innovative stays-sharp saw-tooth profile of the <strong>Sunflower</strong> Saber Blade cuts throughthe toughest crop residue and penetrates hard soils. The fluted profile of the <strong>Sunflower</strong> Saber Blade creates a soil mixingaction not possible with any other blade. The crop residue is sized, mixed and anchored for faster soil warm-up andresistance to wind and water erosion.6630 series vertical tillage tools SpecsModelNumberCuttingWidth (m)SF6630-21 21’ 8” (6.6)SF6630-24 24’ 5” (7.5)SF6630-27 27’ 2” (8.3)SF6630-29 29’ 11” (9.1)SF6630-32 32’ 8” (10)Est.

7000 series Soil conditioners 7000 series Soil conditioners7000 Series SoilConditionersCreate The Perfect Environment For GerminationNext to adequate soil moisture, positive seed-to-soil contact isone of the most important elements needed for fast germinationand rapid plant growth. Fortunately, the <strong>Sunflower</strong> Model 7200Soil Conditioner and Model 7600 Strip-Till System are bothdesigned to create the ideal planter-ready seedbed. Whether it’sused in the fall or the spring, the 7600 has the ability to bandfertilizer while cleaning and tilling a mellow strip of soil for eachindividual row … leaving the remaining residue on the surfaceto reduce erosion and shield against moisture evaporation.If conventional tillage better fits your program, look no furtherthan the 7200 Soil Conditioner. Available in working widths upto 50’ and wings that flex up to 10 degrees up and down, it letsyou cover big acreage quickly without skips or misses. Whetherit’s used alone or pulled behind a primary or secondary tillagetool, the 7200 effectively breaks up surface clods and levels theridges left by more aggressive tillage tools. As a result, largersoil particles left on the soil surface cover finer particles below,creating the perfect environment for seed germination.<strong>Sunflower</strong> - The Ultimate AnswerSF4511-13 / SF7232-18constantcontact3 473YEAR1 25 681. heavy-duty reel design - Utilizes 1 1/2”solid gang shaft and large greasable triple-lipsealed trunnion bearings insure a longerreel life and less chance of bending whenencountering field obstacles.

“A <strong>Sunflower</strong> tool for every soil type and cropping program.”With approximately 4,600 acres of rowcrops spread across the southern tipof Illinois, Mark and Dana Eddlemanface a wide range of soil and croppingconditions.“We farm everything from nearly rockysoil to pure black gumbo with silty loamand clay in between,” says Dana. “Andeach soil type seems to require a littlebit different action and approach.”Added to the mix is weather that rangesfrom too dry one year to too wet the next.In 2011 alone, the brothers receivedmore than 50 inches of rain, with muchof it falling during planting time.As a result, the Eddlemans may useany combination of their <strong>Sunflower</strong>tillage tools, backed by a <strong>Sunflower</strong>Model 9421 grain drill. They’ll go largelyno-till, for example, on their hilly groundand when double-cropping soybeansbehind wheat — using either the 9421or their White planter to seed the crop.If they’re planting soybeans behind cornon bottom ground, they will often discthe field in the spring and follow the discharrow with the 5035 field cultivator.Likewise, if the brothers suspectcompaction could become a problem,they will often use the 2433 chisel plowin the fall to break up any hardpan thathas developed.However, one of the newest and mostversatile tools in their tillage arsenal istheir 6630 vertical tillage machine.“We’ve actually used the ‘VT’ toolbehind our disc in place of the fieldcultivator, particularly when we’ve hada lot of weed growth from heavy rainsthat have kept us out of the fields,” Markexplains. “It will go right through thatheavy residue. Plus, we can go a lotfaster with it, too.”“The other thing we’ve started doingwith the 6630 is going over corn stalksin the fall to size the residue and openup the soil for increased moistureabsorption,” Dana adds. “It’s just givenus a lot more versatility than we’ve everhad before.”In the meantime, the Eddlemans saythey’re equally sold on the strength andruggedness of <strong>Sunflower</strong> equipment.“Our <strong>Sunflower</strong> equipment is the onlybrand we’ve found that is built as ruggedas we like it to be,” Mark relates. “Wetend to like heavy equipment; yet,we also like the C-Flex disc and gangbearing mounts, which help cushionthe disc against shock loads on the<strong>Sunflower</strong> models.”“Because we never know what theweather is going to do, we try toconserve as much moisture as wecan and even create a reserve whenpossible,” Dana concludes, noting thatcorn yields typically average 160 to over200 bushels per acre as a result, whilebeans average around 40 to 50 bushels/acre. “By maintaining and using a varietyof <strong>Sunflower</strong> tools, we’re able to dothat, no matter what Nature dishes out.”GrowerMark and Dana EddlemanLocationDongola, IllinoisSituationWide mix of soil andcropping conditionsSoil ConditionMoisture conservationthrough a combinationof tillage and no-tillpracticesPLANTING TOOL USED<strong>Sunflower</strong> 5035 FieldCultivator, 2433 ChiselPlow, 1434 Disc Harrow,1435 Disc Harrow, 6630Vertical Tillage Systemand 9421 Grain Drill
