2025 UM Unverferth Raptor 3-Point 2030MT 6-Row

With less surface soil disturbance, strip tillage will retain organic material, reduce erosion and conserve fuel by only tilling the strip that is planted into. The Unverferth Raptor strip tillage tool was built for professional growers looking to take advantage of the benefits that strip tillage can provide. Pull-type models feature a front-folding toolbar and vertical-folding row units for narrow transport and compact storage. The ground-breaking TerrainPro2 row unit allows each row to travel up and down independently for the most consistent row-to-row tillage depth and fertilizer placement. The Raptor tool is the first all-in-one solution for strip-tillage and banding fertilizer and features greater operator visibility, easy filling when equipped with fertilizer and a row unit with unmatched performance.

Features may include:

The pull-type Unverferth Raptor strip tillage tool can be ordered with an integrated dry or liquid fertilizer system for banding fertilizer directly in the row during the strip tillage pass. Pull-type toolbars can also be ordered to just perform a strip-tillage pass along with 3-point mounted toolbars.

The Unverferth Raptor strip tillage tool can be ordered as a pull-type or 3-point mounted toolbar. ST models feature a pull-type designed toolbar without a fertilizer application system while MT models feature a 3-point mounted toolbar.

3-point models are available as a 6-, 8- or 12-row machine with 30”, 36” or 38” row spacing and heavy-duty, double wall frame with a 6” x 6” rear mounting bar for maximum durability.

The 3-point hitch connection provides a compact design for greater maneuverability and toolbar stabilizer wheels provide added stability and tool-free adjustment for quick and convenient depth control.

Additional options for 3-point mounted toolbars include a rear hitch that can tow up to 14,000 lbs. gross vehicle weight with 1,000 lbs. of tongue weight.

The Raptor strip tillage tool features the innovative TerrainPro2 row unit that has been developed and tested in a wide range of soil types for consistent tillage depth and accurate fertilizer placement, when equipped.

Each row unit features independent parallel linkage, which allows it to free-float 7” upward and 4” downward to ensure that each shank runs at the same depth for consistent tillage and fertilizer placement.

The 20” diameter lead coulter features 1,500 lbs. of down pressure to slice through the toughest soils and 6-bolt greaseable hubs with 5 layers of seal protection for long-term, trouble-free use.

Free-floating 16.5” saw tooth row cleaners with 6-bolt hubs follow ground contours independently from the lead coulter and clear residue from the strip.

Independent row unit depth is maintained by the 12.75" depth control wheel that runs between the row cleaners and the shank for consistent shank depth from row to row.

The 12.75” diameter solid steel depth band wheel features a standard scraper to prevent mud, rocks and other debris from building up, allowing the operator to run in varying conditions.

The shank features tool-free depth adjustment from 4” to 10” deep and a convenient depth gauge which allows the operator to quickly and easily adjust each shank.

The Raptor strip till tool is available with spring-cushioned auto-reset trip mechanism (Model 2130) with 2,000 lbs. of point load pressure or shear-bolt protected shank (Model 2115) with 5,000 lbs. of shear pressure. The Model 2130 is ideal for soil conditions with rocks while the 2115 model is ideal for use in rock-free soils.
