"Strip till by simple definition is... tilling a narrow strip." The primary purpose of strip till is to lower inputs costs but achieving the same or better yields. If there was a computer program that would identify a farming technique that would have the best ROI for row crops, it would be Strip Till. Currently there are over twenty five competing companies that manufacture some form of strip till. Compare that to the number of tractor or combine manufactures and Strip Till appears to support the purchasing power of those higher costing items.

The Strip Maker is an adaptation of the Strip Cat. Requested by our clientele, the Strip Maker allows on-time planting of crops in adverse wet and cold soil conditions. For fall strip tillers, the strip maker can refresh the strips in the spring. It also allows the application of nutrients - especially when a shank or knife is not possible or not desired. The Strip Maker is a perfect no-till machine that duplicates the same benefits of no-till, strip till, and conventional tillage. It can be retrofitted into strip till and vice versa. The horsepower requirements are small.

The straight shank design of the HAWKINS SUB-SOILER pulls up small clods and leaves little ground disturbance unlike the parabolic ripper shank.
