Elite Ag Solutions is now offering Johnson Drainage Plows.

The Warren-based precision agriculture technology dealer felt the time was right to add the plows to its lineup.

"We work pretty closely with Trimble water drainage products through Trimble's water management programs and we wanted to offer a line of tile plows that we could offer as well as our control systems," says Cale Eckert, sales and customer service representative with the company.

Elite Ag Solutions has Johnson's three-point and pull-type plows in stock, the former with a five-foot operating depth and the latter with a six-foot depth.

Johnson also manufactures a frame-mounted plow, which can be ordered.

The company produces a tile ditch closer as well, which is available to rent from Elite Ag Solutions.

"Basically, after every tile is installed, the dirt's towards the edge of the hole, and throughout time, unless you bring that dirt back on top of it, it's going to lay out to the side. So, that rolling closer helps bring it in and close and create a nice, clean tile line," explains Eckert.

The closer, Eckert notes, is a three-point implement and requires at least a 50 horsepower tractor.

Eckert says he believes Johnson plows are a cut above others due to how they're made.

"The person that builds and manufactures these plows is a farmer, so these are farm-based designs, tried-and-true units ... He ran it through a lot of ground and he's made a lot of modifications over the years and these products are the end result of those years of hard labor," he says.
