VISION!

toolbar
The Vision toolbar is a unique combination of form and function. There is a lot of care that goes into making these frames. Each unit must be a reflection on us as a company: idea driven, functional, durable, efficient, and attractive. It is a premium product designed to give the user maximum versatility. Coupled with the Pluribus Strip Till unit you have a device that can be used fall or spring, and in virtually any residue type. It is effectively impossible to plug this unit.
 

The folding sequence allows for excellent on road dynamics as well as removing the tires from between the row units in operation.

The hydraulic down pressure system allows the user to tailor the behavior of the machine specifically to the conditions at hand. Fall and spring are different animals indeed. If you are looking for an inexpensive strip till unit this is not for you. However, it is competitively priced. Every aspect of the Vision toolbar is focused on being premium, right down to the exclusive use of oring face seal fittings and adapters. There is no metal to metal contact on any moving components on this frame, either.
 
The rigity of the frame coupled with the hydraulic down pressure system eliminates the gap in tillage depth capability between the Pluribus Strip Till unit and conventional mole knife setups when comparing 40ft toolbars with typical 200-250hp tractors.
