Strip-till is gaining momentum as growers look for ways to improve efficiency, preserve soil structure, manage residue and precisely place nutrients. Yet for many operations, adopting strip-till has often meant piecing together equipment from different manufacturers or compromising on row spacing and planter alignment.

Yetter and Kinze Manufacturing aim to change that by launching the Falcon SF700 ™, a new lineup that brings planter-style configuration and precision to strip-till systems.

The Falcon combines proven Yetter 2984 Strip Freshener CC row units with the widely respected Kinze 5700 toolbar platform. Built to help growers create clean, consistent strips while maintaining residue between rows, the system simplifies the transition into strip-till without sacrificing performance.

“ Yetter believes strip-till offers meaningful soil health and ROI advantages, and that simplifying adoption is key to helping growers realize those benefits. The Falcon SF700 makes striptill systems easier to integrate into the way growers already farm,” said Yetter Strip-Till Product Director Andy Thompson.“ By combining Yetter Strip Freshener CC technology with Kinze’ s 5700 planter toolbar platform and planter expertise, we’ re helping growers create accurate strips and a more consistent planting environment.”

Consistency begins with alignment. Strip-till’ s agronomic benefits can be reduced if planter rows don’ t consistently track along strips. The Falcon was developed to match strip-till configuration to planter configuration, helping growers improve planter-to-strip alignment and supporting accurate seed placement with RTK and implement guidance systems.

The Falcon also has a range of row spacing options. Many strip-till systems have traditionally focused on 30-inch configurations, but the Falcon is available in 20- and 22-inch row spacings, making precise alignment feasible for those with narrower planter row spacing.

The Kinze 5700 toolbar platform— known for its weight transfer system, flotation and narrow transport design—

provides the foundation for the Falcon. Each row is equipped with Yetter Strip Freshener CC row units, which feature parallel linkage and pneumatic in-cab controls for quick adjustments to row cleaners, rolling baskets and row unit down pressure. The Strip Freshener CC is also equipped with SharkTooth ® conditioning wheels and a pneumatic rolling basket to help create a uniform planting environment. Optional fertilizer placement kits allow growers to add nutrient application to the strip-till pass.

When you pair the Kinze 5700 toolbar’ s ability to maintain consistent row unit engagement across changing field conditions with Yetter Strip Freshener CC technology, you get a planting-ready strip built in a single pass, plus the soil health and conservation benefits that make strip-till an ROI opportunity.

“ We all know efficiency is top-of-mind for growers during busy planting and short post-harvest seasons,” said Thompson.“ The Falcon lets you run efficiently at 6 to 10 miles per hour while accomplishing several tasks at once. You ' re creating a clean, consistent strip, managing residue, conditioning the seed zone and, if it fits your program, placing fertilizer in the same pass. It’ s all about reducing trips across the field and making the most of that valuable time.”

The Falcon is available in 16- and 24-row, 30-inch models, as well as 24- and 36-row machines with both 20- and 22-inch spacing options. This flexibility allows growers to better match strip-till equipment to their existing planter setups.

Equipment integration will play a big role in successful striptill adoption as more growers seek ways to improve nutrient efficiency, support soil health and create a more consistent planting environment. By pairing Yetter Manufacturing’ s striptill expertise with Kinze ' s planter and toolbar experience, the Falcon helps growers make strips, improve consistency and prepare for better planting.
