Double tap to zoom

The KUHN Krause ST-PRO™ II row units are easy to adjust and require no daily maintenance. They contour to the ground’s surface conditions allowing the shanks to consistently operate at your predetermined depth. A variety of dry and/or liquid fertilizer options are available. This is more than just strip-till, this is precision nutrient and seedbed management.

Features
Economic Advantage
2018-2023 Corn Tillage Study: Economics
Strip-till allows precision tillage on 1/3 of the land while retaining all residue between the strips. This improves moisture infiltration into the strip and reduces rainfall runoff from the field, while providing a warm seedbed for early season planting. Residue between the strips helps retain moisture during dry times of the growing season while suppressing weed growth.
2023 Corn Band vs. Broadcast Study: Yield and Economics
Strip-till delivers higher yield with precise fertilizer placement and provides greater economic returns as compared to broadcast fertilizer.
Strip-till demonstrates positive results for banding fertilizer vs broadcast through both yield increases and economic benefits. The 2023 results showed economic advantage in almost every fertilizer rate reduction study.
2021-2023 Average Band vs. Broadcast Yield and Economic Advantage
Strip-till delivers sustainable fertilizer efficiency by allowing farmers to utilize less fertilizer while improving yield with greater economic returns as compared to broadcast fertilizer.
The three-year study also shows significant advantage in reducing fertilizer rates by 25%. This indicates significant savings and efficiencies that can be realized by farmers utilizing the Gladiator to place nutrients precisely where the plants can utilize them.
ST-PRO™ II Value
ST-PRO™ II ValueST-PRO II row units are easily adjusted without tools in a matter of minutes, allowing them to be quickly setup to suit field conditions and ensure continued superior strip formation from field to field. KUHN Krause ST-PRO II row units have no grease zerks, therefore require no daily maintenance further saving time and increasing productivity throughout the working day.
Coulter
- 25” independent coulters offer continuous residue cutting
- Adjustable down pressure from 460 pounds to 660 pounds
- Adjustable coulter scrapers remove sticky soil from the coulter blade
- Simplified adjustment of coulter alignment to correct machine tracking
Floating Row Cleaners
- Floating 16” notched disc blades consistently clear residue from the strip
- Automatically adjusts to the contour of the field eliminating the need for field-to-field adjustment
- Weights can be added or removed to ensure consistent residue management and flow
Anatomy of the Strip
The Berm
Creating a good berm in the fall is essential to ensure that, as the strip settles over winter, it does not form a gully which will channel water off the field washing away valuable soil and nutrients.
Building a berm in the spring in areas where fields are prone to waterlogging or flooding is also beneficial as a raised berm dries out faster than the surrounding field. Planting can take place sooner and the warmer seedbed allows for quicker germination
Starter Zone
Starter fertilizer is applied shallow in the profile to provide nutrients right at germination. This fertilizer may be applied in a separate operation (i.e. with the planter at seeding) or with the Gladiator instead of zone 1 or 2.
Fertilizer Zone 1
A slightly shallower fertilizer placement for dry or liquid, which will be more quickly reached by the plant roots.
Fertilizer Zone 2
Deep placed fertilizer such as dry or anhydrous ammonia, which needs to be well sealed in the soil or placed farther from the seed to ensure roots have matured before contact so as to prevent burn.
