Many of the farmers using the Vulcan Equipment ZoneMaster focus on it as a strip freshener or a coulter style spring strip till machine. As the cover crop industry continues to grow, farmers are finding new fits for the ZoneMaster row units. Farmers are running the ZoneMaster row units on ridges, on beds, and even in what is considered no till. Many farmers comment about how the Vulcan ZoneMaster dries the top 1 1/2” of the soil allowing planting to begin sooner, not drying out the sub soil moisture, and it being the best moisture conservation tool.
We used the ZoneMaster for the first time in a wet spring. The freshener did a great job of leveling out our strip made in the fall. The units also helped us get in the field a day or two earlier because of how wet we were. We are very happy with the Zonemaster. It does a nice job.

I was able to run the ZoneMaster on about 1000 acres this past Fall and was very happy with the results. I am looking forward to running it this Spring on last year’s cotton, corn, and sorghum ground, and how well it will fit into my operation.

Many times in my irrigated and dry land farming the difference of making a profit is by having the correct tool in my toolbox when it comes to equipment. With each season providing different challenges I feel my Vulcan Zonemaster will fit multiple positions, not like some equipment and fit one situation.

I’ve been using Vulcan’s strip till refresher for several years now. It smooths up the strip so you have more even emergence. I grow corn, cotton, milo, wheat, and sesame in South Texas.

I mainly ridge till corn on corn. I run a stalk puller behind my combine and then just before planting I run my Vulcan Equipment ZoneMaster. My ZoneMaster leaves a very nice seedbed to improve my seed spacing while warming up my berm.

I liked the fact that I could buy individual row units and use a toolbar we had. I also liked I did no fieldwork until I ran my Vulcan Equipment ZoneMaster within a week of my planter to build a small berm and my planter ran better than ever.
