Carbon Steel Weld-On Points For Tillage Tools

Carbon Steel Weld-On Points For Tillage Tools CULTIVATORS Cultivators (58C) 18-1-18 "Our new weld-on points for tillage tools are made from chromium carbon steel that lasts 2 to 3 times longer than hard surfacing and about 5 times longer than conventional steel points," says Jim Miller, Page Iron-works, Page, N. Dak. The add-on points, made by Gen Mfg., are designed to be welded to the top of shovels or points on cultivators, chisel plows, air seeders, hoe drills, moldboard plows, anhydrous ammonia applicators, etc. "They dramatically improve the life and performance of any tillage tool," says Miller. "You spend less time changing shovels or points and they do a better job because the point remains sharp and stays in the ground better. We make 40 different points, each specifically designed for a different tillage implement although some points are inter-changeable between implements. Many farmers start out by using 8 or 12 points that run in their tractor wheel tracks where points wear more. Once they see how our points perform, they put them on all their equipment. We also make bolt-on hoe drill points that replace the original factory points." Prices range from $5 to $8.50 for most points although subsoiler points sell for up to $16.
