Even though dirt is made up of a mix of organic matter, it is "dead." In comparison, soil is "alive." Soil is comprised of multiple ecosystems of microorganisms and insects that create a food web transferring nutrients back and forth.

You can't plant a successful and thriving crop in dirt. You need soil. That is why we bring you tillage tools to improve your soil health. 

Primary Tillage vs. Secondary Tillage

Primary tillage tools like the Kuhn Krause Dominator and Great Plains Turbo-Max promote the breakdown of crop residue and allow for excellent root development. These tools break up compaction while preserving the soil surface, promote aeration, limit erosion and runoff, and improve water infiltration which helps the soil retain moisture.

A uniform soil surface, level seedbed, and evenly distributed residue are key to achieving perfect planting conditions. Secondary tillage tools, like field cultivator and high speed vertical tillage tools downsize clods, level soil and anchor residue to perfect seedbed preparation.
