A mid-weighted disc for enhanced weed control in a broad range of soil types.
Uneven emergence can cause 5% to 9% reduction in overall yield, according to university research. A perfectly uniform seedbed is the first step to prepare for even emergence, and ultimately, maximum yield and ROI.
Shallow tillage provides mechanical weed control by uprooting weeds and flipping them onto the soil surface, where they die naturally. Growers report up to 90% weed density reduction—with no herbicides used.
By limiting tillage to just the top 1-2 inches of soil, shallow tillage uses less fuel and tractor hours. With lower horsepower needs than other tillage tools, shallow tillage enables higher operating speeds and cuts the number of passes required to prepare an ideal seedbed.
KELLY is recognized worldwide as the No.1 shallow tillage system for seedbed preparation and weed control. With eight interchangeable disc chain types, a single KELLY frame can handle changes in season, soil conditions, and field objectives.
Through reduced fuel use, fewer passes, and university-verified 98% weed-kill rates, farmers receive quick payback periods – in as little as 12 months. KELLY makes promises you can count on.
With a 4-year frame warranty and 50,000-acre wear warranty on our most popular discs (CL1), you know you can count on being out in the field when it matters most.

“It saves us a lot of time and that’s one thing that always seems to be in short supply when you’re trying to get a crop in… but it wouldn’t mean much without a good seedbed. The Kelly gives us the perfect seedbed and that’s where good yields start. It really is the perfect seedbed tool.”
“Anything that can save us time and allow us to get into the field quicker gets a lot of respect around here. The Kelly harrow works really well in our environment and it’s just so much faster — it’s one of the best tools I’ve ever had.”
“It’s not a deep tillage tool, but it airs out enough of the ground to make it plantable, and that’s what’s helped us over the last few years… We actually bought the cover crop seeder to go along with it, and it does a great job; you can spread any time, and you’re doing it all in one pass.”
“It [the Kelly] has changed a lot of the paradigm of how we grow some of our crops… The immediate benefit was less horsepower, less fuel. As we’ve gotten into it we’ve come to understand that the benefits are also soil related. We’ve covered lot of acres and the wear has been phenomenal.”
“I’d seen it in action so I knew it worked, but initially I wasn’t sure I could justify the expense. It’s pretty clear to me now that the Kelly saves us money in time and fuel and chemicals. We use it in so many different ways because it’s a very versatile tool and it does such a good job.”
