How does it work? The OPTIMIZER is a complete replacement for traditional tillage methods. Combining all necessary implements into one unit leaves a finished field without the soil compaction caused by multiple passes of tractors and implements. Organic residue is mixed into the soil, the traffic pan layer is broken up, and the top soil layer is sealed for a moisture-saving finish. This leaves soil healthier, reduces dust from fine particles, and results in increased yields of up to 10% or more.

Does this qualify as conservation tillage?  Results of an EPA study show reductions of dust and pollution by 50% or more. Upgrading to a high-horsepower Tier 4 tractor reduces NOx by up to 99%. Check with your local or state air resources board for information on subsidies for tractor purchases or of sustainable equipment such as the OPTIMIZER.
