disk hiller

A disk hiller is a farm implement that is used for creating hills or ridges of soil in rows for planting crops. It consists of a set of angled disks that are attached to a frame and pulled behind a tractor. As the disks rotate, they push soil from the center of the row outward, creating a raised mound.

Disk hillers are commonly used for planting crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and peanuts. By creating ridges of soil, they help to improve drainage and aeration, which can be beneficial for the growth of these crops. Disk hillers can also help to control weeds by burying them beneath the soil.

There are different types of disk hillers available, including single disk hillers, double disk hillers, and multi-disk hillers. The type of hiller used will depend on the specific needs of the crop being planted and the soil conditions.
