Landoll introduced its new Verti-Strip strip till machine publicly for the first time at the National Farm Machinery Show. While the unveiling is new, the machine itself has already been tested in the field for several years.

Ryan Hulme of Landoll described the goal clearly. The Verti-Strip is designed to help growers reach more acres with conservation tillage while improving fertility placement, soil management, and farm economics.

“We’re looking at how do we get to fertility and tillage and also helping what we’re trying to do with the environment and their economics on the farm,” Hulme said.

Cab-Controlled Simplicity

A major focus of the Verti-Strip is bringing planter-style convenience to strip till. Row cleaners, down pressure, and finishing baskets are all controlled from the cab using a pneumatic system.

“No more springs that like to break and wear out over multiple seasons,” Hulme noted.

The finishing basket can be adjusted based on conditions. Operators can apply pressure for spring work or run minimal pressure in the fall and let strips winter over naturally.

Tool-Free Adjustments

Landoll eliminated set bolts and wrench-based adjustments. The shank adjusts in half-inch increments with a simple pull-and-lock system. Operators can also set the shank angle from flat to seven to thirteen degrees.

Depth can be set in one, two, or three-inch increments with berm builders. The machine is available in both shank and full coulter configurations, and Hulme emphasized it was designed from the start to handle both setups.

Built the Landoll Way

The Verti-Strip features heavy dual seven-square toolbars, heavy-duty hinges, and half-wall center sections. The design prioritizes strength and longevity.

“It’s not ISO or anything like that. It’s not a bunch of things that can go wrong. It’s very simple and robust,” Hulme said of the air controller.

Landoll’s message is clear. This is not a short-term investment.

“We’re talking decades with these types of machines from Landoll.”

As strip till continues to expand, the Verti-Strip positions Landoll as a serious player in the conservation tillage space. Here’s the video, so you can hear directly from Ryan Hulme and see the machine up close.
