Coulter Blades

Plain

EXCELLENT SOIL PENETRATION

Plain coulter blades are primarily used on no-till air drills and open the ground for planting or broadcast spreading of wheat rye, barley, soybeans and other grass-type crops. Osmundson’s original plain coulter blade is manufactured to provide strength, ductility and consistency 100% of the time in the field.

Soil type: Black dirt; not too wet or dry

Machine type: Drills or air seeders

Available sizes: 16 – 24"

ripple

more soil distrubance

The fluted, or ripple, coulter blade has multiple applications, but it’s primarily used on planters or fertilizing equipment. While it provides the same level of ground penetration as the plain coulter blade, the ripple coulter blade does create more soil disturbance better suited for row crop planting.

Soil type: Black dirt; not too wet or dry

Machine type: Drills or air seeders

Available sizes: 16 – 24"

wavy

deeper ground penetration

With built-in strength and durability, the wavy coulter blade is designed for deeper ground penetration and greater soil movement in no-till applications. When placed in front of a planter, the wavy coulter blade helps move crop residue out of the way, allowing planter blades to do their job. Osmundson can make 8-wave up to 36-wave coulters blades — giving farmers varying degrees of soil movement and penetration.

Soil type: Wetter conditions

Machine type: Vertical tillage and no-till planters

Available sizes: 16 – 24"

Turbo ®

first true vertical tillage blade

Soil type: All soil types

Machine type: Vertical tillage and no-till planters

Available sizes: 16 – 24"

Samurai ®

One-pass tillage
