Pull-type 1tRIPr XD keeps Orthman out in front with precision tillage solutions for big operations. As the leader in precision strip-till systems and equipment around the world, Orthman is continually innovating more efficient ways to farm.

Orthman’s 1500 Series Toolbars are the leading folding toolbars in the row crop industry. The innovative internal fold 4` x 24` cylinders can be set to fold the toolbar to 90°, 115°, 135°, or 180°. 1500 Toolbars are factory set to fold to the degree specified with the order. 1500 Series Toolbars are available in size configurations up to 16 row 30`. Hinges are 14` wide and line-bored for smooth hinge movement and superior strength. The strong construction, utilizing 3/8` wall tubing (1/2` wall tubing center sections on models totaling more than 35’ in total length), makes the 1500 Series Cultivator Toolbar a durable choice.

The industry standard setting Orthman 1550 Double Toolbars are designed and built to simply withstand the roughest conditions imaginable. The 1550 features double 7` x 7` toolbars with 1/2` center section wall (on all models larger than 8 row) tubing and 3/8` wall tubing wing sections attached by top and bottom welded gussets provide an extreme amount of strength.  The image to the right includes a welded-on hitch which is typically used for the 1tRIPr and is set to planter row spacings for the strip-till operation.

The Orthman Stalk Puller is a high-speed, low-horsepower fall or spring residue management tool. Large V-discs operate on the crop to pinch and pull out root balls, providing a residue-free seedbed that is perfectly prepared for the planting operation.

There is a very high concentration of customers who are farming under center pivots. While the center pivot often is the difference between raising a crop and not, they create challenges for the producer and operator. A deep, hard pivot track can create real issues with preparing a proper seedbed, often requiring multiple operations and still forfeiting quality. A `track filler` was often used to do just that - FILL the tracks with whatever loose dirt and residue was available. While this allows you to drive over the track without being thrown completely out of the cab, the real issue of the compacted side wall was not addressed and potential new issues are created. A buried, loosely covered ball of residue is impossible to manage in subsequent passes, and after years of this operation, the narrow impact zone can also create swells in the profile around the tracks. Our dealers and customers asked us to for a solution, and thus was born the Orthman TRACK TILLr.
