Engineering & Design
Partner: Dyco Manufacturing
Every TG Planter starts on the screen before it ever hits the shop floor. Our engineering team partners with Dyco Manufacturing to design each component in professional CAD software with tab and slot geometry — precision interlocking features that guarantee exact fitment every single time. We utilize weld callout specifications on every assembly to ensure proper penetration, strength, and lasting durability. No guesswork, no shimming — just engineered parts that lock together perfectly with documented weld specs on every joint.
Laser Cutting & Raw Parts
Partner: Dyco Manufacturing
Our partner Dyco Manufacturing supplies the raw steel and handles precision laser cutting. Each sheet of American steel is cut with tab and slot patterns built right in — you can see the interlocking features in every piece coming off the laser table. This ensures exact and efficient fabrication each and every time.
Tab & Slot Assembly
Precision Interlocking Components
Laser-cut parts arrive with tabs and slots already formed. Components interlock with precision measurements before a single weld is laid. This repeatable process means every TG Planter we build is identical in quality and fit — no jigs, no guessing, just parts that snap together exactly as designed.
Certified Precision Welding
Partner: Burkett Nester Racecars
Every TG Planter is welded by our partner Burkett Nester Racecars — a team known for certified precision welding on race-grade chassis. The same exacting standards that keep racecars together at 200 mph are applied to every joint on your planter. This is not farm-shop welding — this is race-certified quality.
Laminated Shank System
Engineered for Depth & Durability
The heart of the TG Planter is our proprietary laminated steel shank system. Multiple layers of steel are welded together to create a shank that cuts through the toughest ground while maintaining adjustable depth control — a feature that sets us apart from every competitor.
Prime, Paint & Finish
Epoxy Primer + Acrylic Urethane HD
All welded components return to our main paint and assembly plant for final prep. Each piece is primed with industrial epoxy primer, then coated with acrylic urethane HD paint — delivering a long-lasting shine and superior durability that far outlasts standard powder coat or basic paint.
Final Assembly
Hand-Built at Our Assembly Plant
Each planter is hand-assembled at our facility, with every bolt torqued to spec and every moving part tested. Dual operator seats, the 24-inch coulter, laminated shank, and pneumatic closing wheels come together into the finished TG Planter — complete with blueprints and documentation.
Palletized & Shipped
11977 State Rt. 49, Edon, OH
Once assembled, each TG Planter is palletized and transported to our location at 11977 State Rt. 49 in Edon, Ohio — the last stop before being shipped directly to our clients. From our door to yours, ready to transform your land.
THE TG PLANTER AT WORK
From the laser table to engineered welding jigs to the field — watch the TG Planter come to life. We don't just weld planters together. We engineer them, fixture them, and build them to a standard no competitor can match.
Manufacturing Process

More Rhizome Planting
Continued rhizome planting — consistent depth and furrow closure pass after pass.
Planting Miscanthus in No-Till Soybean Stubble
Planting miscanthus directly into no-till soybean stubble — no pre-tilling required. The 24-inch coulter and laminated shank cut right through crop residue.
Planting Miscanthus in Sod
Planting miscanthus straight into established sod — no pre-tilling required. The 24-inch coulter and laminated shank cut right through.
Engineered, Not Cobbled Together
The TG Planter is fully CAD-engineered in SolidWorks and manufactured using purpose-built welding jigs and fixtures. Every component is laser-cut with tab and slot patterns for exact fitment, then fixtured in engineered jigs for certified precision welding by Burkett Nester Racecars. We utilize weld callout specifications on every assembly to ensure proper penetration, strength, and lasting durability. This isn't a shop project — it's a professionally manufactured piece of equipment built to a repeatable standard.
Optional Storage Stand
Keep your TG Planter organized and off the ground when not in use.
Forklift Compatible
Designed for easy loading and unloading with a forklift or tractor.
Built to Match
Same American steel and acrylic urethane HD paint finish as the planter itself.

TG PLANTER VS THE COMPETITION
The TG Planter is fully CAD-engineered and professionally manufactured with purpose-built welding jigs — a level of precision that sets it apart. When you compare the specs, the choice is clear.
Fully Engineered & Professionally Manufactured
The TG Planter is fully CAD-engineered in SolidWorks, manufactured with purpose-built welding jigs and fixtures, and assembled using certified precision welding. Where most planters rely on standard shop fabrication — measuring, cutting, and welding by hand — the TG Planter is built to a repeatable standard that ensures every unit is identical, every weld is placed exactly where it was designed, and every component fits with precision.
CAD
Full SolidWorks engineering — not sketched on a napkin
JIGS
Engineered welding fixtures — not hand-held and eyeballed
CERTIFIED
Precision welding by Burkett Nester Racecars — not a side job
Save $1,400 Over "The Red One" and Get More Machine
The TG Planter outperforms both competitors in nearly every category — bigger coulter, deeper planting, pneumatic closing wheels, purpose-built rhizome capability, and full CAD engineering — all at a lower price than "The Red One." Plus, it's in stock and ready to ship from Ohio.

WINDBREAK PROGRAMS & LOCAL RESOURCES
Beyond federal programs, your local Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) is one of the best resources for windbreak planning and cost-share assistance. Nearly every county in the United States has a SWCD office staffed with conservation professionals who can help you design a windbreak or shelterbelt, connect you with cost-share funding, and source quality planting stock — often through their annual bare-root tree seedling sales.
Many state-level programs also offer additional cost-share for windbreaks, shelterbelts, and living snow fences. These programs vary by state but can often be stacked with federal EQIP or CRP funding to cover a significant portion of your project costs. Your local SWCD or NRCS office can walk you through what's available in your area.
What SWCDs Can Help With
- Windbreak and shelterbelt design
- State and local cost-share programs
- Annual bare-root tree seedling sales
- Technical assistance and site visits
- Connecting you with NRCS and FSA programs
Common Windbreak Practices Funded
- Farmstead windbreaks
- Field windbreaks for crop protection
- Living snow fences
- Livestock windbreaks
- Wildlife habitat corridors
