New Holland and Flexi-Coil say the Ag Information Center will be used for cooperative education purposes by organizations like Iowa State University Extension and others. In addition, the design of the Center will make it an introduction point for new technology in farming equipment. Created late last year through the merger of Case Corporation and New Holland, CNH is the number one manufacturer of agricultural tractors and combines in the world. The new closers offer advantages for furrow closure, packing, depth of frame and residue clearance. This way, the heavy tines move soil over the furrows on both sides, just as the press wheels pack it down.
Adjustments allow fine-tuning to match soil conditions and preferred field finish.
Heavy Harrow Closers deliver excellent residue flow for two reasons. First, these closers can be mounted on 4-row air drills so growers can take advantage of more widely spaced shanks. Second, the harrow tines are positioned so the press wheels pull residue away before build up occurs.
