EPA-verified Results

The OPTIMIZER One Pass System has proven savings for fuel, time, and dust compared to conventional tillage.

Check out the full report at this link, or see some of the highlights below.

Summary of Results: Using a Combined Operations Method of a deep chisel pass followed by an 18-ft-wide OPTIMIZER, significant reductions were made in particulate emissions, tillage time, and fuel usage compared to conventional tillage.
