Features and benefits of the Poettinger Terria

The Poettinger Terria is an innovative soil preparation machine that allows you to manage a variety of soil conditions. Let's look at the features and benefits that make it a truly one-of-a-kind solution.

Deep ripper and shallow tiller, all in one

The Poettinger Terria is a versatile deep ripper and shallow tiller, all in one. This single machine can handle all soil types and conditions. Often, you can even achieve a smooth, level seedbed in just one pass. Fall tillage and preparing soil for planting have never been easier.

Hydraulic system

This machine has 3 hydraulic remotes and can be used with any tractor. The Hydraulic Depth Control is precise, easy to use, and fully adjustable from the tractor cab. With visible reference numbers, you can set the exact depth you want, every time.

The Hydraulic Breakaway Pressure is adjustable and has a 1,500-pound per shank breakaway force, so you always get good soil penetration (and strong crops).

Revolutionary construction and design

The 5030 and 5040 At 16 feet wide and 17 shanks, the Terria is designed for full coverage and efficiency. And with 12-inch wide sweeps on each shank, it achieves a whopping 100% soil coverage.

The Dura-Star points, mounted on the shanks, are engineered to last 2-3 times longer than standard points, offering durability you'll be hard-pressed to find anywhere else.

Plus, for even more flexibility, the Terria's sweeps can be easily removed for deep ripping tasks. A single bolt and nut attaches both sweeps to each shank.

Tongue operation

The Poettinger Terria has two tongue modes: full floating and locked. In full floating mode, the machine operates independently of the tractor's weight, while in locked mode, the weight is transferred to the tractor for added stability in different soil conditions. This flexibility allows you to optimize performance for the task at hand

Steel packer roller

The steel packer roller's sharp edges break up clumps and mix crop residue into the soil. This helps stop soil erosion and improves how well the soil holds moisture and stays structured, leading to healthier soil and better growing conditions.

Automatic leveling discs

The automatic leveling discs adjust along with the packer roller to keep the field smooth and even. By filling in ruts and spreading the soil evenly, they ensure consistent conditions, making the seedbed more uniform and ready for planting.

How to use the Poettinger Terria

The Poettinger Terria is a very versatile tool for soil management. Here are some ways to use it on your farm:

  • Deep tillage: Use the Terria as a deep ripper to break up layers of soil compaction. This improves water infiltration and root growth—essential for cultivating healthy soil and maximizing crop yields.
  • Residue management: The Terria is great for incorporating crop residue into the soil. With the steel packer roller and sharp edges, you can mix residue into the soil, reduce erosion, and improve soil surface.
  • Various soil conditions: Adjust the tongue modes for different soil conditions. Full float is great to avoid weight transfer on an unstable soil type, and locked-in gives you better stability when dealing with harsher conditions.
  • Multiple fields: The Terria's automatic leveling discs ensure a consistently even soil surface, effectively handling ruts and uneven terrain. This results in a reliable, high-quality finish across various fields and a well-prepared seedbed.

The Poettinger Terria is a revolutionary new tool in modern farming, supporting deep tillage, residue management, and consistent seedbed preparation. It combines the functions of a deep ripper and shallow cultivator into one machine. This means less equipment and better soil health and efficiency in all field conditions.

The Terria's versatility can help you tackle common farming problems like compacted soil with ease. By adding this all-in-one solution to your operation, you can simplify your processes, increase productivity, and get a head start on the season.
