Tilmor plastic layer is a modular design for laying 3' and 4' plastic and up to two rows of standard drip tape. The innovative design incorporates easy to adjust tire and disc tension. Small growers face unique challenges and often must rely on older equipment that was developed many years ago for mechanized cultivation. This often means farmers are forced to rely on parts that are obsolete, poorly constructed or difficult to find. Our goal is to produce a variety of implements for planting, cultivation, harvest, post-harvest, and more. These implements will be built to last and fully supported by Tilmor, making it easy to find and purchase the equipment you need to maintain your farm.

Join Lydell from Tilmor and Bob Filbrun, Specialty Crops Manager at Ohio State University’s Wooster Campus, for a walkthrough of how OSU uses the Tilmor Plastic Mulch Layer on their research plots. Bob shares how the mulch layer helps his team lay plastic in smaller sections at a time, making it easy for the crew to manage plot-by-plot installations across their specialty crop trials. See how the Tilmor plastic mulch layer integrates with the Tilmor 520 tractor and why it works well for research environments.

Dustin and Lydell spend some time going over do's and don'ts of plastic mulch. Do: - Make sure your bed is firm and that your ground is crowned in the middle. - Manage the weeds especially at the edge of the bed. - Mow off/eliminate the weeds and stubble prior to removal. Don't: - Let the hard crusted dirt or fodder into the bed so it punctures the plastic. - Wait to pick up until the next season.
