Excalibur® CT Blades
Higher residue quantities from increased planting populations, tougher stover from GMO hybrids with stay-green traits, varying soil moisture and volatile weather conditions: these are all examples of challenges North American producers face during the tillage season every year. Designed to maintain a sharp cutting edge throughout service, Excalibur CT blades cut and size residue. These 22” diameter blades are mounted on 9” spacing to achieve a full cut of soil across the machine, and each blade features 32 flutes to reduce clod size. The Excalibur CT blades are configured in a tandem layout to prevent tracking and ensure a more uniform distribution of soil and residue across the field compared to machines utilizing an offset design. The Interceptor’s depth of frame provides ample distance for residue and soil to flow, allowing it to settle between the two parallel rows of blades and reduce the risk of plugging compared to short-coupled designs.
