Whether you prefer your frame’s path controlled by wheels or a floating hitch, we have the highest-quality direct planting equipment to service your agriculture needs.
Successful tilling can be accomplished through use of human-power via traditional hand tools like hoes and shovels, however we have advanced technology far enough that the preparation of land for cultivation has now gone mechanical.
