| Martin Row Cleaners provide a simple, cost-effective, way to
eliminate the problems caused by excessive crop residue in the seed row area, while
maintaining the benefits of mulched row middles. Residue is not buried, just moved aside
to improve planter performance. The Martin Wrap Around Row Cleaner C125
places toothed wheels 7" in front of the no-till coulter to move residue before the
coulter enters the soil. Model C125S places toothed wheels in front of the double-disc
openers to move residue before the seed opener enters the soil. The unique high rear
pivoting frame construction on all models transfers part of the planters forward motion
into down pressure, while still leaving the row cleaner free to follow the contour of the
land. The C125S is designed to operate behind forward mounted fertilizers openers and can
be operated behind single-disc fertilizer openers.
The lightly tilled residue free zone offers these distinct advantages for
planter operation:
- Eliminates unit bounce
- Allows for fine tuning of seed depth placement
- Gives herbicides in the row area contact with soil
- Permits sunlight to warm soil and speed germination
- Does not scrape the soil surface and seal off pores
- Will not create a furrow, like discs
- Model C125 allows coulter to crumble the soil more completely
- Model C125S does not throw out soil under wetter conditions as in coulter or
multiple coulter setups
- Ridges can be cleared without reducing their height
