The F15/F15B Double Offset Tandem Disc Harrow is designed to tackle three of the most important pieces of fall fieldwork: breaking up soil compaction, managing crop residue, and incorporating nutrients.
Harvest marks the end of one growing season … and the beginning of the next! The work you do and the decisions you make in the fall lay the foundation for next year’s planting conditions, crop emergence, and yield potential.
In fact, many growers view fall tillage as one of the most important agronomic investments they make all year. It’s the time you tackle critical tasks like breaking up soil compaction, managing crop residue, and incorporating nutrients. To get all this done, producers need a tool that can handle tough conditions (ideally without driving up operating costs).
That’s where the AMCO F15/F15B Double Offset Tandem Disc Harrow stands out. Designed to deliver aggressive performance while remaining easy to maintain and economical to operate, the F15/F15B helps growers get more value from every pass.
Relieving Compaction and Building a Better Seedbed
Soil broken up and smoothed out by an AMCO F15/F15B Disc Harrow.
One of the biggest challenges after harvest is soil compaction. Heavy combines, grain carts, and other equipment have run through the field, often leaving behind compressed soil that’ll restrict root growth, keep out water, and limit nutrient uptake.
A fall tillage pass gives you the chance to address that problem well before spring planting. The F15/F15B’s double offset tandem design aggressively works the soil, helping break up compaction while creating a smoother, more uniform seedbed. Its folding flexwings follow ground contours to maintain consistent soil engagement across the width of the machine, helping you achieve a more even finish.
The result? A field that’s better prepared to support strong root development, consistent emergence, and better growing conditions next planting season.
Managing Residue for Faster Breakdown and Cleaner Planting
Crop residue is chock full of valuable nutrients for next year, but you don’t get the benefit until the residue begins to decompose.
The F15/F15B’s overlapping front discs are designed to cut through heavy residue and incorporate it evenly into the soil, speeding up decomposition and helping return nutrients to the field. As a double bonus, reducing surface residue can improve your planter’s performance by minimizing interference during seed placement and helping create a cleaner planting environment.
If you deal with high-yielding crops and large amounts of residue, a tool like F15/F15B that’s designed to handle residue sizing, mixing, and incorporation is a valuable timesaver in the fall.
Incorporating Nutrients and Crop Protection Products
Fall is also a common time to roll out nutrient management and weed control programs. If you’re applying fertilizers to address soil deficiencies and herbicides to help control weeds before they become a problem next season, you know fitting fall work in can be a huge challenge.
With the F15/F15B, you’re handling two agronomic objectives in one tillage pass. The same disc action that manages residue also incorporates these products into your soil, improving their placement and distribution.
A Smart Choice When Fuel Costs Are High
Diesel prices continue to put pressure on operating budgets, so efficiency matters more than ever. Every gallon saved can make a difference across hundreds or thousands of acres.
The F15/F15B delivers the aggressive tillage performance you need without excessive weight. Its lighter design helps reduce fuel consumption while still providing the cutting action necessary to manage residue, relieve compaction, and incorporate inputs.
Less Maintenance Means More Time in the Field
Fall weather windows can be short, which means downtime is costly. That’s why AMCO has equipped the F15/F15B with trunnion-mounted, maintenance-free bearings. They feature a triple-lip seal and protective shielding on both sides to help keep dirt and debris out. Operators don’t need to stop for daily lubrication, saving time while reducing routine maintenance demands.
These bearings are backed by a three-year warranty and eliminate the possibility of contamination caused by re-lubrication, providing additional peace of mind during one of the busiest times of the year.
Get More Value From Every Fall Pass
Fall tillage isn’t just another task on the post-harvest checklist. It’s an opportunity to improve soil conditions, speed up residue decomposition, incorporate valuable inputs, and set the stage for a successful crop next year.
The AMCO F15/F15B helps growers capitalize on the agronomic advantages of fall fieldwork while also delivering the practical benefits of lower fuel consumption, reduced maintenance, and dependable performance. When every acre, every minute, and every dollar counts, the F15/F15B gives producers a powerful way to prepare for the season ahead.
