VertiSTRIP™

VertiSTRIP™ wasn’t built to “make do” with one option or the other. From the beginning, it was engineered to master both coulter strip-tillage and knife strip-tillage—delivering speed, precision, and performance in either role. The result is a machine that outperforms in every pass, no matter your setup.

Engineered to break up compaction and deep-band nutrients, the VertiSTRIP™ Knife Option features our FlexBerm system for quick, wrench-free berm adjustments. With Mole and Mini-Mole knife choices, you can tailor tillage while precision-placing dry, liquid, or NH3 fertilizers to build the perfect seedbed.

Built for versatility, the VertiSTRIP™ Coulter Option handles spring and fall strip-till, plus strip freshening before planting. With up to 6″ deep tillage, dry incorporation, and precision liquid injection, it delivers high-speed performance in tough conditions.

The VertiSTRIP™  isn’t just a one-season tool. Built for flexibility, it can breathe new life into stale fall-made strips in the spring or build new strips from the ground up—all with the same machine.

Fall-made strips can often be stale, cloddy, cold and even wet. The VertiSTRIP™ cleans, fertilizes, vertically tills, and finishes these strips to warm and create the ideal seedbed to plant into.

New strips are no problem with the VertiSTRIP™. Pneumatic row cleaners handle tough crop residue, while the coulters vertically till anywhere from 2″–6″ deep to create a clean, consistent seed zone. For even more flexibility, the knife option allows 4″–8″ tillage to break up compaction and precisely place fertilizer, giving you the perfect start for your crop.

Poor residue management is costly, and problems like poor emergence due to hairpinned residue in your strips is avoidable with the Trailblazer™ row cleaners on the VertiSTRIP™.

The Trailblazer™ row cleaners are built to handle the roughest conditions you can push it into. The Finger tooth residue managers and depth wheels are mounted on dual sealed bearings that require zero daily maintenance or greasing.

Triple-lip sealed bearings in the massive parallel arms are made to handle the roughest environments. With the addition of our pneumatic, cab-adjustable down-pressure system, you gain the ability to fine-tune on the go—making in-field adjustments simple and keeping your machine dialed in for maximum performance.

Independent depth wheels on each row follow the ground surface effortlessly no matter the terrain, allowing you to till and place your nutrients where they belong.

Stop letting your machine’s limitations define your seedbed. The FlexBerm™ gives you simple, wrench-free angle and depth adjustments—so you can float or dig in and build the perfect berm for your conditions. With 18″ adjustable blades and wide-open soil flow, FlexBerm™ makes it easy to condition strips your way, every pass.

No two fields are the same—and your strip-till setup shouldn’t be either. With VertiSTRIP™, you can choose between the Mole Knife for maximum lift and soil fracture or the Mini-Mole Knife for efficient, low-draft performance. Both deliver precise dry, liquid, or NH₃ fertilizer placement and excellent soil sealing—giving you the flexibility to match your tillage to your conditions, not the other way around.

Large handle, wedge lock, and positive depth positioning teeth make the Hawkins VertiSTRIP™ simple and quick to adjust. Not to mention no greasing, and less parts for more reliability.

The VertiSTRIP™ has two coulter options for tailoring your machine to your operation. A traditional Wavy Blade and our VT Blade to get the most out of your VertiSTRIP™.

Creating a clod free, uniform seedbed finish is essential for efficient high-speed planting and uniform emergence. With the Optimizer Finishing System you can make adjustments on the fly to help maximize your planter pass, emergence and ultimately your yield.

Easily adapt to varying soil types and conditions quickly with in-cab, adjustable, pneumatic down pressure. The Optimizer Finishing System puts on-the-go control in your hands… without a wrench & from the cab.

Not all soils are created equal, and the one-size-fits-all approach available from OEMs doesn’t begin to fit all your needs. The VertiSTRIP™ is available with three different finishing options to allow you to tailor your finish to your field.

Why spread fertilizer across the entire field if you are only planting rows every couple of feet? Don’t. VertiSTRIP™ gives you the ability to band dry and liquid fertilizers right where the plants’ roots are going to need them, letting you minimize your inputs, and maximize your yields.

The dual-tube liquid fertilizer system injects your liquid fertilizer on each side of the row. With multiple adjustment options you can put your fertilizer precisely where you want it.

By placing your dry fertilizer directly in front of the rear coulters, you can effectively distribute and blend the fertilizer across your strip profile.

The knife setup allows you to band dry and liquid fertilizers deep into the root zone—right where your crops need them most. With precise placement and efficient delivery, it helps reduce waste and cut input costs while setting your crop up for success.

The vertical fold system allows for in-field flexibility, and reduced transport widths when heading down the road.

The VertiSTRIP™ features massive dual hitch design capable of CAT 3 and 4N Hitching. Allowing quick tractor swaps and hookups with no worry of your tractor hitch setting.

The Hitch Hub is the ultimate organization tool for your equipment, designed to keep your workspace neat and efficient. It provides dedicated storage for unused hitch pins, mounts the manual tube, and securely holds hydraulic hose ends, ensuring everything stays clean, accessible, and ready for use.
