Salford Vertical Tillage Tool Overview
The Independent Series 2200 from Salford is one of the most powerful and reliable tools in its lineup of vertical tillage equipment.
Designed for maximum strength and durability, it stands out for its ability to perform in the toughest field conditions, Keith Belt, territory manager with Salford Group, told Farms.com.
One of the key features of this tool is its robust construction.
It includes a high-diameter coil, known as the “Super Coil,” measuring 1 5/8 inches.
This coil adds significant strength and ensures long-lasting performance. The unit also includes large 22-inch blades mounted on five-bolt hubs for added stability and efficiency.
Farmers can choose between the 2000 Series with 7.5-inch blade spacing or the 2200 model, which offers tighter 5-inch spacing. This closer spacing allows for better residue management and smoother soil finish.
This model also includes a hydraulic switchblade system, giving users more flexibility in the field.
The unit featured in the video below includes front and rear gang spacing of 30 inches, resulting in a combined 15-inch offset. This design helps enhance soil penetration and residue mixing.
What sets the 2200 apart is its versatility.
It’s not just a tillage tool — it functions as a high-performance coulter chisel when combined with additional attachments. These include a three-bar harrow with half-inch tines and a 14-inch double rolling basket.
Together, these components help manage residue, reduce surface compaction, and deliver a level seedbed.
This tool is especially useful for those aiming to achieve a uniform field finish while conserving soil structure. Its strength, adaptability, and efficiency make it a top choice for modern farming operations.
Whether you're preparing land for planting or managing post-harvest residue, the Independent Series 2200 offers the performance and reliability you need in a tillage tool.
