Abstract
A strip-till row apparatus includes a primary frame having spaced apart side panels each having an upstanding front edge and an opposed upstanding rear edge. A tillage assembly is operatively coupled to the primary frame adjacent the rear edges thereof and configured to contact a ground service so as to prepare the soil. An auxiliary frame includes an upstanding front wall and a mounting arm extending rearwardly from the front wall, the auxiliary frame having a linking member having a first end pivotally coupled to the front wall and a second end coupled to the primary frame. A selectively inflatable airbag includes a top coupled to the mounting arm and a bottom coupled to the linking member via an airbag mounting bracket. A relative downward force is applied to the primary frame as the airbag is selectively inflated or deflated, respectively.
