Testing technology in two different growing environments

The Elmer’s Manufacturing Super 7 Harrow Bar is a multipurpose tool. It is used early in the spring for seedbed preparation and in the fall to incorporate fertilizer or manage straw.

The Super 7 Harrow has a seven bar design and harrows 40 per cent more of the field per pass. It is equipped with in-cab, electronically set and hydraulically actuated dynamic ground pressure and independent vertical section motion to maintain constant down pressure regardless of the terrain. The Super 7 Harrow can be adjusted remotely and autonomously through a tablet in the tractor cab. As the equipment approaches a headland, pressure is taken off the harrows to improve efficiency of the unit.

The Super 7 Harrow is being tested and validated at EMILI’s Innovation Farms in Grosse Isle and in Gypsumville, Manitoba, which have very different growing conditions.
