ROLL FORWARD & SELF CONTOURING FRAME: A unique benefit of the Pro-Till is the patented roll forward frame design which gives operators the ability to completely rotate the frame and rear disc sections off the ground, making it easy to maneuver out of trouble in wet conditions. This design, together with the impressive weight distributions of the oversized high-flotation tires, lets the operator back up, drive forward, unplug, or simply drive away from any difficulty. Degelman’s self-contour frame allows Pro-Till to follow the curvature of varying terrains while maintaining a consistent depth. The independent wing sections and a shallow floating frame give Pro-Till the flexibility to handle steep inclines or downward slopes. This floating, self-contouring design, coupled with Pro-Till’s independent discs, help produce a flawless, uniform field.

Faster Germination Effective Erosion Control Enriched Soil Structure Improved Gas Exchange: These rollers are an excellent all-around roller suitable for all types of soil conditions and offer very good consolidation. The micro-ridge shape of the Pro-Till rollers allow water to be stored in the corrugated valleys, driven to lower soil layers and stored in a uniform way. Proper soil consolidation is critical to allow water stored in deep soil layers to flow. Corrugated rollers help seeds germinate and grow in the shortest possible time by creating a firm field finish. The compact soil improves the soil to seed/root contact which enables an efficient transfer of nutrients. It also preserves moisture, which is especially important during dry years. The Pro-Till rollers are key to protecting soil against heavy rainfalls and high winds. The rollers consolidate the soil, providing valleys for water storage and creating ridges to reduce wind and water erosion. After residue has been cut and mixed, our exclusive corrugated rollers finish the field to perfection. The hollow corrugated rubber design sheds soil, breaks up the larger clods and consolidates the soil to bring fine earth in contact with residue to optimize decomposition. Healthy soil must be allowed to breathe. Pro-Till’s furrow rollers create a pattern of ridges that optimize gas exchange by forming a highly compacted zone next to a less compacted zone. These zones allow a rapid exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen between the soil pores.
-
Rubber Suspension System Offers Flawless Rock Protection: Degelman knows a thing or two about rocks. Conditions aren’t always perfect. That’s why the Pro-Till disc system replaces the traditional gang with independent disc arms that slice and mix soil at speeds never before achieved. When a stone is encountered, the rubber elements roll and compress, automatically dampening the impact and providing protection, while immediately springing the disc back into operation.
-
Level Ruts, Clean up Cattails and Sloughs Break Pasture and Grassland: Pro-Till is your single spring and fall solution to tillage needs. Pro-Till is ideal for fixing headlands, leveling and filling ruts and tracks in the spring or fall and cleaning up cattails and sloughs. Today’s heavy tractors, trucks, sprayers, grain carts and center-fill planters can produce deep, compacted ruts that restrict root growing space, inhibiting yields and potentially damaging expensive equipment. The Degelman Pro-Till high performance disc has just the right amount of dirt carrying capacity to level almost any field. One or two additional cross-direction passes may be required to completely level and fill the most severe ruts. The Degelman Pro-Till is a versatile tool to add to your farming operation. In addition to managing your residue and cleaning up your fields, The Pro-Till offers the ability to turn pastures or grassland into farmable land in as few as 2-3 passes, depending on any prior work, including burning or breaking. By reducing the amount of different tools needed to convert your pasture into profitable farmland, the Degelman Pro-Till saves you time and money.
-
Max Life Scrapers: With up to 10 times longer wear than standard scrapers, Max Life scrapers take advantage of new hard surfacing technology. Tungsten carbide is mixed directly into the molten weld bead. Tungsten carbide is an extremely hard, metal matrix composite material that easily withstands the abrasive effect of running in soil. During the break-in period, the leading edge of steel is worn off to match the attack angle of the blade. The tungsten carbide is then the primary point of contact.
-
Semi-Pneumatic Technology: Pro-Till’s exclusive Otico rollers are an excellent all-around packer with a unique corrugated ridge profile, which leaves a field finish designed to manage moisture and prevent soil erosion. Pro-Till’s furrow rollers outperform any typical cage roller, regardless of soil type or soil conditions. Proven effective in clay, sand, gumbo, and rocky soil, the furrow roller performs especially well in wet fields. Unlike a cage roller, the furrow roller is designed to shed soil to prevent plugging and reduce maintenance. A special semi-pneumatic technology is integrated into the Pro-Till rollers making them work well in rocky soils and more resistant to wet conditions. Designed by OTICO of France, these exclusive rubber rollers are formulated from special rubber compounds. Uniquely molded over a high-strength steel core, they are also hollow, giving them the ability to flex each turn, partly absorb shock from stones and hard conditions, and also help shed mud with every revolution.
-
Oversized Hydraulic Jack: Pro-Till’s hydraulic jack with oversized leveling pad is centered on the machine for perfect balance and stability on any ground surface. With its large range of motion, the jack is easily controlled by one operator for any vehicle height.
-
True High Speed Tillage: The Pro-Till shreds residue at speeds over 10 mph, up to three times the speed of traditional cultivators, while ensuring uniform distribution of residue to eliminate problems such as uneven and delayed emergence, hair pinning, erosion and seeder/planter plugging.
-
Prepare Your Seedbed Quickly: Pro-Till’s cultivation design creates a superior field finish in one pass by combining an aggressive till action with an exclusive furrow roller system. The shallow, high speed discs cut and mix residue to ensure a healthy soil structure. The ridge shape of the rollers crushes, clods and creates a corrugated soil profile and an ideal seedbed. The Pro-Till has the unique ability to cultivate and warm the soil during cold wet conditions when all other forms of tillage plug and fail. In as little as one day and after one the soil during cold wet conditions when all other forms of tillage plug and fail. In as little as one day and after one pass, frigid heavy residue soil is cut, turned, mixed, firmed and ready for seeding. Pro-Till in the spring can mean the difference between success and failure.
-
Simple, Strong and Clean Scraper System: Utilizing a minimalist approach, the long arms of the scrapers create great trash flow. The scrapers are easy to adjust, easy to clean and are removed with the loosening of a bolt. Max Life scrapers will significantly increase the life and performance of your roller scrapers. The tungsten carbide tipped scrapers maintain their original length and shape, resulting in a clean roller and a more consistent field finish.
