We have tried to the best of our ability to repeat what these individuals have told us about their experiences with our products and concepts. If you talk with these people and find that what has been said here is inconsistent with what they told you please let us know. We do not feel any need to embellish what folks are saying to us about the tines or the way we are assemble them, including remounting the AerWay™ tines. So let us know what your experiences are too.

It is amazing how much better my Aerway™ works with only adding the 5 degree shims.  I would like to see the Gen-Til system in action sometime, if there is ever one close, let me know.  I forgot to mention that it does not seem to take a lot more horsepower to pull my Aerway™, even though it is going in much deeper.

Thanks for your help,
Brien Duncan

We bought our used AerWay™ in early spring 2001 equipped with the Genesis Tillage Innovations tine system. We are very pleased with the performance of the tool. We are happy to take phone calls from anyone to tell them about what we have experienced. You can also e-mail me.

I bought enough tines to equip the center two rollers on the15 footer that I use to drag a hose for manure application. I had broken AerWay™ tines in frozen soil right after learning about the Genesis Tillage Innovations products at the National Machinery Show in 2001.

I decided to give the new tine a try along with the different way of mounting the tine on the roller shafts. To test the difference I went on some rolling pastureland on our home place and applied about 20,000 gallons/acre. We watched the water run downhill off of the area, which had the AerWay™ tines working, and disappear into the soil where the Gen-Till tines ran. That was it for us. We bought enough to finish equipping our machine and now I’m looking to buy another used AerWay™ so I can have another one for applying liquid manure. It’s a totally different machine and far superior to what I was using before.

I used to sell AerWay™ and had a continual problem of broken tines. We custom apply liquid manure with a 16-foot 3-point version of the tool and have for many years. I installed new tines from Genesis Tillage Innovations in the early spring of 2001 and have about 900 acres on them (12/01). We have not broken any tines and the tines are only worn about half as much as
the AerWay™ tines would be from the same number of acres.

The most obvious difference is how the soil takes in the liquid manure. I don’t have to try and mix the manure into the soil anymore. It used to be that the ground would have that wet shine to it for hours and hours after application. Now I can see obvious disappearance of the liquid before getting back to the other end of field.

One of my customers planted late the same day that I applied 10,000 gallons without any other tillage at all. It was beautiful.

I had run my AerWay for about three years and could never get it in the ground over four inches. I couldn’t put enough iron on it unless it was in the mud. First I only put on half the number of tines from Genesis Tillage Innovations because I didn’t think it would really make any difference as far as the way the tines were put on. Well it went right in. So last summer (2001) I fixed the helixes so that they were mirror-imaged and put on the rest of the Gen-Till tines. It went right into the ground with no problem.  I went right through some wheat in the spring and it didn’t hurt it a bit.

We built our 22-foot aerator from a $900 18 feet John Deere disc frame. We went with 3-tine rollers because of the amount of alfalfa we grow and some pretty tough conditions in some places. We had a sick looking piece of wheat in the fall (2001) and made one pass through it and in just 2 to 3 days the yellows were gone and it has looked real good ever since.

Where we did alfalfa last fall you can hardly tell by how smooth the ground is. But you can tell when you walk on it and you can still see where the water is soaking in. We surface apply manure and have major stream pollution potential. We never see water sitting or running down our slopes anymore.

We are really looking forward to combining the action of our 30’ Phillips Rotary Harrow with our soil aerator.

I thought so much of what I saw of this modification to the AerWay™ machine that I bought a small used one to show to my customers with the Genesis Tillage Innovations Gen-Till tine system. This is perfect synergy with the use of bio-stimulants and flocculating materials like gypsum. More and more farmers are moving into vertical tillage and this presentation by the Genesis Tillage Innovations folks is the best there is today.

I  was using just the Gen-Till alone for customer demonstration (no harrows or levelers).  In one case, the soil had been previously blackened with manure and there were no traces of manure if you didn't know what you were looking for. They had used it on several fields. If they were a little more confident they could plant right into the seed bed they have made. But they might want to till it again once or twice. The soil surface is a very impressive site. The soil looks alive, rich and is very mellow. He said they have never farmed such soil in their lives.  He is very glad at this point that he made a switch to soil amendments and vertical tillage.
