As an avid zero till, plants green, I can see the merits of the tool these guys promote. We have some acres in delicate, hand cropping types of crops, and we broadfork the soil to allow air to infiltrate. Also, I’m the 1st to admit, zero till is not perfect. I would not have watched this if I had realized there is a product behind it, but they obviously get soil health. Will I buy one? No. I don’t do confinement livestock production. I actually mob rotationally graze cover crops, have a 3rd cereal crop phase in the rotation, and a purely cow chow, grazing only 4th rotation. There is a long grazing / rest period between the cereals and the next crop as well. If you are not putting animals on the land and getting that nature mimicking disturbance, I’d be willing to bet that the curse buster doo hicky would be a God send. Let’s face it, only insane people like myself want to contend with cattle. But that’s an entirely different story. My theory is be a half @ss dairy that the lower 1/2 of your dams crank out IVF champion beef steers, add one lamb per steer, because you need zero increase in carrying capacity for it, and chickens in behind it all as the sanitation department, and be a really easy does it row crop farmer. I own every hill in Illinois basically, and have timber ground, so my context is unique. Nobody is the same, but I’m going to text a link to Marion Calmer of the demo you put up. He has had a lot of stratification issues as a no tiller. Also, anyone going for the really shallow mold board Salford plows that a lot of the organic guys like me use, except they aren’t no till… they need to demo your contraption. I do have a question about cover crop termination. But I’ll talk to one of your dealers about it. That rye will pop right back up if it’s not crimped. Plus, if all goes well, I’m knocking down 4-5’ of covers. I’m pretty sure that thing would tangle up in things.

A lot of great info .

I have to alert you who view this video that the Aerway machine which is referred to by the farmers here in 1986 was not produced after 1988 by the Holland Hitch company for ag machines. The licensed tine which Aerway used prior to 1988 was no longer made available to farmers. It was continued to be used only on machines sold for use in turfgrass. DO NOT expect the results testified to here from Aerway products sold after 1988.

Yes, Ville, you are correct. I accidentally grabbed the wrong video to upload. Will get the correct uploaded. Thanks and God Bless

I see only the rotation and angle changing. Mode looks aggressive all the time.

Hey, I left some nasty comments on your videos a few years back and I’d like to apologise for that. I was a dumb kid messing around on the Internet...so yeah, I’m sorry.

The implements are used for entirely different applications, looks like the smart tine is for field prep and the aerway is for pasture management. Comparing apple and oranges.

farming is gods work and I applaud your efforts .... I just heard a study of how glycophosphates are much more dangerous than we thought but in small doses and high fungal activity in your soil i hope it gets broken down

ewwwwwwwwwww roundup

We've added new footage of the difference between the Bannan original aerator tine embodied in CurseBuster and Smart-TIll and the Aerway Shattertine. The roots never lie. TO know the truth will set one free. It takes a shovel in this case.

We have not visited in North Carolina with a Curse Buster but would welcome the invitation.

kikinda serbia could use this fine tool. cheers

Beautiful work Jim. How much is suspension upgrade per foot?

How on earth does this not have 100k wievs??? Seriously.

Thanks. Happy New Year!

The video we made in China. The machine is in readiness to be taken to Mongolia to attack the Gobi Desert. Here in the states we have machines running in MN, MO, OH and IN. Four machines being finished up at the present. One of those is headed for Finland.

Where is it

Curse Buster in full dress runs between 3250 and 3400/ foot of width.

Hi Ben, thanks for the encouragement. I him the Smart-till time will bolt to the CCT rollers. Have ever done one of them. Is your Dad Jim?

The operation of the Curse Buster in the corn at V3,4 is one of the simplest and most effective ways to "steal" amine nitrogen from the alfalfa, which is its preferred form of N nutirtion, and give it to the corn as nitrate. So corn gets the needed boost and alfalfa goes hungry. ONCE THE ALFALFA BEGINS TO EXPERIENCE SHADING FROM THE CORN, IT SUFFERS FURTHER GROWTH SUPPRESSION AND REDUCED TRANSPORATION LOSSES. The corn wins the battle and reaps the benefits of the amine forms which alfalfa leaves

A critical part of the success of the non-chemical approach to suppressing the very competitive alfalfa plant is the management of soil organic nitrogen. THE CORN NEEDS NITRATE NITROGEN TO PUT ON RAPID GROWTH. THE ALFALFA SUFFERS IN VIGOR IN THE SAME "N" ENVIRONMENT. So the element of cultivation of the corn crop, which was not discussed in the video because chemical suppression was used to control the alfalfa's competitive nature, is essential to creating the shift to increased Nitrate soil N.

@ckfarm Another great question (challenge). Most important that alfalfa is not drinking from the same bucket as the corn. The alfalfa needs to have a "normal" tap root system. It can develop in as little as a single summer season or it may never develop depending on how the rooting habit of the plant is managed. Another subject. Alfalfa will transpire 2.5X more H2O than corn requires. Corn will take 80% of its water requirement from the air. The two plants together can prevent droughty corn.

@ckfarm Well, interesting you should ask. I have used lemon oil and sodium acetate to defoliate with great success. A mowing machine (discbine preferred cutting really close to the crown) works as well. Grazing cattle works to with hi density stocking rate. Remove hoof traffic before or integral with planting the corn. Then cultivate corn and till to full depth with CB at V-3,4 (30 days from emergence). Making hay means growing shorter season corn. Still great yield potentials.

caseman1134,..blinded by the glitz of that yellow paint and fraudulent video clips of the "shattertine". experience difference of theshattertine tine and original geometry they abandoned in 1988 except for turf models with the water test. air is a bit hard to see so just watch the water. don't miss the concrete now, Dah.... Go ahead and pour it in the two different machine holes and watch.You'll make several more trips to the bucket with one of those holes and not the Aerway. Count for us now.

The rollers look just like the Aer way. nothing can beat an Aer way we've tryed others and they just don"t work like an Aer way. We used it 3 years ago and are still getting great yeilds off of it. I think You'r a copy cat.
