	Make the Move to Vertical Tillage Uniform soil density - the result of a vertical tillage system - is the key to a rapidly and vigorously developing root system. The To The Max harrow delivers that uniform density better than any other tool. Improve germination in dry or wet springs. In dry springs, To The max conserves soil moisture by working only the soil's surface. In wet springs, you can get into the field sooner because the To The Max works the top 1 1/2" of soil rather than digging into four wet inches. Improve planter performance with better seedbed preparation. The To The Max harrow isn't intimidated by heavy residue or wet field conditions.

	Get all the penetration you need with this optional notched cutting reel. The aggressive, angled reel penetrates tight soils while it sizes residue. Unlike coulters that can create a density layer, these blades won't cut too deep.
The rolling harrow is the heart of the To The Max system. It lfts and aerates residue as it breaks surface crust. And it is self cleaning - almost impossible to plug. A simple tensioning system reduces daily maintenance and increases wear life of the harrow and bearings.
	Select these optional hydraulically controlled cover boards to increase the leveling capability of the harrow. Adjust the down pressure on the boards to move more soil - leveling the typical 3"-5" hills and valleys from V-rippers and chisel plows.
Fast in the field - and into transport. The harrow flips up and wings fold forward for speedy transition. Transport width for the 32' model is just 16'.

Exclusive, patented process for level seedbeds... The combination of cutting reel, rolling harrow and leveling board work together to spread residue, dry the soil surface and crack surface crusts without changing the soil density - seeds germinate in warm, moist soil and roots get off to a healthy start. Built for speed, endurance... The To The Max is built for speed - typically 8-11 mph. And this machine can handle the stress and strain that comes from rolling at those speeds. Heavy duty bearings, reinforced welds and massive frame members all combine to trouble-free performance in most conditions.

	Look at your seedbed from a root's point of view. A cultivator sweep will lift and fluff the top three to four inches of soil, creating a horizontal floor that roots must penetrate. Roots are locked in this dry, loose soil until they can find any easy path to the moist soil below. This is precisely the time when the plant is determining its ear's length and girth, and a small amount of stress at this stage will shrink ear size.
The To The Max works the top inch of soil - above the seed placement zone. As roots emerge, they develop through uniform layers of soil. Roots maintain their diameter and grow down rather than out along the tillage layer. Roots grow deeper to weather proof your crop.
Boost yields three ways... 1. More timely planting into warmer, drier soils 2. Eliminate plant stress at critical growth stage to maximize ear length and girth 3. Improved root structure to nourish plant during pollination and grain fill Chop, size, lift, crack, and level - all at 10 mph. This patented design provides the penetration, residue handling, and seedbed conditioning needed for high-yield crop production over a wide range of soil types and soil conditions.
