Product catalog summary
Overview: The Reservoir Tillage 850 (RT850) is a specialized agricultural tool designed to enhance water conservation in farming. It features a patented design that creates depressions in the soil, improving water infiltration and retention, which is crucial for optimizing water use in agriculture.
Key Features:
  • Infiltration Improvement: The RT850 enhances soil infiltration and permeation, allowing better water utilization from rain or irrigation.
  • Yield Enhancement: By collecting an estimated one new inch of water per acre annually, the RT850 can increase corn yield by 10 bushels per acre, translating to $34 per acre at $3.40 per bushel.
  • Environmental Benefits: The tool limits runoff, traps nutrients, conserves water and soil, aerates the ground, and reduces pollution.
  • Design and Construction: The RT850 features robust row units with 10'' teeth for creating soil depressions. It includes replaceable blades, independent suspension, and abrasion-resistant materials.
  • Customization: Multiple row unit sizes can be mounted to a bar, and sand can be added for increased down pressure. It is adaptable to various field conditions with options for 2-tooth or 3-tooth row units.
Additional Equipment:
  • Gandy Orbit-Air Seeder: This optional upgrade allows for planting cover crops between rows and provides split nitrogen application, enhancing the RT850's functionality.
Conclusion: The RT850 is a valuable tool for farmers aiming to improve water conservation and crop yield while promoting environmental stewardship. For more information or to order, contact Redball at 877-332-2551.

OPTIMIZE WATER INFILTRATION-1

The Reservoir Tillage 850 is all about water conservation. The RT850 is unlike any other reservoir tillage tool. The patent design runs between the rows to create depressions in the ground. This creates a soil profile with better infiltration and permeation, allowing farmers to make optimal use of available water that gets to a field, whether by rain or irrigation.

Problem: Lack of Water Conservation Water is life. It's vital to everyone, especially agriculture, and is quickly disappearing from our natural resources. Agriculture uses trillion gallons of water every year for crop production making each drop crucial. Inadequate water conservation can have critical consequences for growers and the environment: • Lack of water conservation solutions make American farmers less profitable • Lack of rainfall collection solutions can create pesticide and herbicide runoff from farm fields, polluting rivers and lakes • Lack of water infiltration increases soil erosion...
