sunflower disk chisel

The sunflower disk chisel is an agricultural implement used for primary tillage, which refers to the initial breaking up of the soil to prepare it for planting. It is a combination of a disk harrow and a chisel plow, and is typically pulled behind a tractor.

The sunflower disk chisel has a series of heavy-duty shanks that are designed to penetrate the soil and break up any hardpan or compacted soil layers. The shanks are followed by a row of disk blades that further break up the soil and mix in any plant residue or other organic matter.

This type of implement is often used in fields that have not been cultivated for several years, or where the soil is especially compacted due to heavy machinery or foot traffic. The sunflower disk chisel is an effective tool for preparing the soil for planting, as it creates a seedbed that is loose and well-aerated, which allows for better root growth and water infiltration.
