Jointer: A jointer, in the context of plows, is a small, curved share located in front of the main plowshare. Its purpose is to cut and turn over a small furrow slice, burying surface residue and aiding in the proper inversion of the main furrow slice.
RDM Parts offers robust "Jointers," essential components commonly found on moldboard plows. The jointer, also known as a skim coulter, is a small, typically winged share or disc positioned just in front of the main plow body. Its primary function is to cut and turn over a shallow strip of soil and vegetation (such as stubble or cover crop) into the bottom of the previous furrow, before the main plow body turns the larger furrow slice. This action is crucial for several reasons: it ensures cleaner burial of surface residues, prevents clogging of the plow, and contributes to a neater, more complete furrow inversion. A well-adjusted jointer significantly improves the quality of plowing, leading to better seedbed preparation and more effective weed control. Jointers must be highly wear-resistant as they directly engage with the soil. RDM Parts' jointers are manufactured from high-quality, wear-resistant steel, often featuring specific heat treatments or reinforced edges to ensure maximum durability and consistent performance. We offer various designs to be compatible with different plow types and soil conditions. Using robust Jointers from RDM Parts ensures precise furrow opening and contributes to highly efficient and effective plowing operations.
