The I-4100 is the most aggressive machine in the Salford Independent Series. This machine combines two rows of shallow concave disc blades followed by two rows of coulters on the same frame. Blades are spaced seven-and-a-half inches apart. The front two rows of concave blades are spaced 15 inches apart, and the coulters split that spacing to reduce density between the disc blades. The I-4100 performs best as a fall residue management machine and for incorporating heavy product. The additional tillage action of the disc blades mixes more soil with residue to further accelerate decomposition. For seedbed preparation, the I-4100 does its best work with two passes at slightly opposite angles to ensure the surface is fully prepared. The Independent Series tools comfortably apply ammonia at eight miles per hour, often with the anhydrous meter being the limiting factor.

*For seedbed preparation with the I-4100, run two passes at slightly opposite angles. The machine should be tipped 1" to 1.5" (.03 m -.04 m) to the near so that the coulters penetrate deeper than the concave blades. Not recommended for seedbed preparation in heavy clay soils.
