From Staff Reports . W hen Caterpillar announced last fall that it had a working agreement with Krause Corporation, you knew some new tillage tools with yellow and black markings were on the way. That's an advantage in some situations. But if you're dragging a tillage implement, sharp turns can cause steering and performance problems. To address that issue, engineers added pivot points to the shanks on the TL2 Series in-line ripper.
Customers can choose spring reset shanks or rigid shanks.
The TL3 Disc Ripper features a drawbar that pivots from side to side, and urethane mounts cushion shocks during steering corrections. After an initial manual leveling, the hitch is self-leveling, Faivre says. The larger models have a three-part frame fold for transport. Both tools will be available this fall. Click here .
