Zone Commander

Model ZS8301 Double Bar Model with Auto-Reset Straight Leg Shanks. Shown with Optional Lift Assist Wheels, Heavy Duty Gauge Wheels, Closing Coulters and Soil Firming Baskets.

The Brillion Zone Commander has earned the reputation of “One Tough Tillage Tool”.

This rugged unit will eliminate yield-limiting compaction by breaking up and loosening compacted layers within the soil structure. Surface residue and soil remain virtually undisturbed. Minimize soil erosion while the soil is lifted to promote the absorption of air and water. This creates the perfect environment for plants, worms and soil microbes to thrive, resulting in higher yields.

Front mounted coulters cut stalks, crop residue and start the slotting process. Crop residue flows smoothly through the machine due to the 39” of under-frame shank clearance. Optional closing coulters and soil firming baskets are available to create a seedbed directly over the slot created by the shank.
  • Point pressure in excess of 2,500 pounds.
  • Auto-reset shanks with 16” trip height.
  • Shear bolt shank protection.
  • 39" shank underframe clearance.
  • 5" x 7" x 3/8" Mainframe.
  • Three-point hitch Category II or III.
  • Manual adjust gauge wheels with tires.
  • 3 to 8 shank three-point hitch models available.
  • Transport safety lights standard equipment.
  • 30" shank spacing standard.

NOTE:
  The 3/4" wide ZM Minimum Disturbance Shank (7K-389) is not recommended for deep tillage in rocky conditions. If your customer has rocky conditions and wants to till deep, we recommend that he order the ZS Straight Leg Shank (8K370) which is 1-1/4" wide.
