Hey Willie thanks for watching! We dig in several places in the field and found the same results. Gang machines smear and leave tracks like what we dug up. Not just on the end rows, not just in the center of fields or center mainframe of the tool, it is everywhere. And it is due to (1) the fact that the Gang is rigid to the farm and the blades cannot flex (2) the blades are being pulled horizontally across the field like a knife across butter smearing and leaving rough tracks underneath what looks like a beautiful seedbed
That is a great question Ty. The 2200 and 1200 can be very similar in the field. The 2200 has larger blades and coil springs and I would prefer this tool when you want to do anything more than a spring pass ahead of corn or beans
The Krause can definitely be angled, I believe this tool was at 5 degrees. The more degree angle, the more smearing is seen by the Krause tool. This is why all blades on the 1200 run straight. When we run blades on an angle that performs horizontal tillage, side to side. When blades run straight they perform vertical tillage. Tillage downward, fracturing and eliminating compaction instead of creating it
Rocks don’t really affect the 1200 mainly because each blade has its own spring. That blade that engages the rock can simply spring up and over the it without affecting any other blade on the machine
Your acting as tho these tools are making a seedbed,which is not the case.Slabbing is not an issue for fall work.There is no hardpan,as its easy to see depth was at maximum level it was set at. While you scrape your foot thru each tools dirt,while commenting how superior Salford is you can see hard packed chucks fall off your feet while dragging it thru the Salford worked dirt. Yet in one sentence your acting as this will be the only tillage this sees making it sound like a no till band aid approach.I have ran both these tools and seen what they go thru,how hard to maintain,and the costs associated with them. HANDS DOWN,,Krause makes a much heavier tool that is less costly to buy parts for compared exactly to the Salford. Each tool is made diffrently,kinda like comparing a regular disc to a high speed disc.I do not agree the Salford is best.
Many people use it just before sowing winter crops: winter wheat and winter rapeseed. Therefore, the questions shown in the video are really important.
Thank you! It was educational! This is current information!
It looks like you are showing us the problems with the Kuhn Exc. on the end rows . The test should have been side by side in the field .

Great video Adam!
Thanks Matt!
Can you do a video on the 4200
I do need to do this video on the 4200. We sold our last demo 4200 so I do not have one right now. It is on the list. Thanks for watching!
Amazing differences !!!
What applications would you use the 2200 over the 1200? Where do you like to see those run any preferences?
That is a great question Ty. The 2200 and 1200 can be very similar in the field. The 2200 has larger blades and coil springs and I would prefer this tool when you want to do anything more than a spring pass ahead of corn or beans
Do you mention the krause can be angled from 1-8degree on both gang angles? How was this run? Also if you have minor ruts what would do better?
The Krause can definitely be angled, I believe this tool was at 5 degrees. The more degree angle, the more smearing is seen by the Krause tool. This is why all blades on the 1200 run straight. When we run blades on an angle that performs horizontal tillage, side to side. When blades run straight they perform vertical tillage. Tillage downward, fracturing and eliminating compaction instead of creating it
How does the 1200 do in minor rocky fields?
Rocks don’t really affect the 1200 mainly because each blade has its own spring. That blade that engages the rock can simply spring up and over the it without affecting any other blade on the machine
