Coulter / Discs EXCELERATOR 8005-34
Overview:
The Excelerator® vertical tillage system from Kuhn Krause provides exceptional residue cutting, soil and residue mixing and seed bed preparation in one pass, utilizing an exclusive 4-step process. True vertical tillage delivers residue cutting and soil mixing without soil shearing or smearing in the critical zone for seed placement and young seedling root development. With its unique Excalibur® blades designed to meet the challenges of cutting tough GMO residue, you can be confident that the residue management achieved during fall operation will allow maximum residue decomposition over winter. In addition, spring operation will accomplish your goals of superior seedbed preparation in high residue situations.
This exclusive 4-step process makes the Excelerator one of the only vertical tillage systems to provide operators a choice. ...move soil laterally to meet the needs of filling ruts and smoothing fields following less than ideal harvest conditions. ...leave more residue to meet requirements for highly erodible land (HEL) conditions. - Less

Features
Excalibur® Blade
With their distinctive scalloped edge, Excalibur® blades capture and slice residue into planter-manageable sizes. This exclusive 32-flute design easily penetrates soil, creates small clod size and begins the mixing process of soil and residue.
Adjustable Gang Angle
Varying soil movement and residue mixing is attained by adjusting the gangs from 1 degree (maximum residue retention) to 5 degrees (maximum soil movement, leveling and residue mixing). These shallow angle settings prevent soil ridging and allow increased field speeds, distinguishing the Excelerator’s performance from competitive units based on older disc harrow technology with gang angles typically from 10 degrees to 22 degrees.
Star Wheel Treaders
This critical component also assists in breaking out any remaining uncut soil between blade paths, providing a smooth, even surface for planter row units to place seeds consistently in the seed zone. Star Wheel™ gangs are spring cushioned to contour over varying field conditions, provide a uniform finish, and evenly distribute residue across the soil surface.
24/7® Soil Conditioning Reel
The proven heavy-duty 24/7® soil conditioning reel delivers clod sizing and firming. Available with heavy-duty flat blades for maximum clod sizing in hard soil conditions or heavy-duty round bars for increased soil firming in loamy soil conditions, this effective component produces a superior finish in any field.
The 24/7 reel also has the ability to ‘float’ with a simple in-field adjustment, allowing continued operation in wetter soil moisture conditions.
Maintenance-free Bearings
Decreased daily maintenance and increased operator productivity
No daily grease maintenance required for the new Peer TillXtreme maintenance-free bearings, now incorporated into the Excalibur gang assemblies, Star Wheel treaders and 24/7 conditioning reels.
No daily grease maintenance required for the spherical pivot bearing in each walking beam assembly.
