Products
Starting with the introduction of "screw-adjust" row cleaners, Dawn has broadened its product lineup over time. By 2015, the company had secured several patents and offered a variety of agricultural implements such as Trashwheels row cleaners, Curvetine closing wheels, coulters mounted on row units, the Gfx hydraulic trailing-arm floating row cleaner, the Rfx Automated Electro-Hydraulic Planter Row Unit Down-Pressure System, the Cfx Electro-Hydraulic fertilizer opener, the Anhydra Universal fertilizer applicator, and the Pluribus strip-till system.
In 2014, Dawn created a division named DawnBiologic (www.dawnbiologic.com) dedicated to sustainable farming tools that support soil health initiatives. Products under this division include the ZRX Electro-Hydraulic Cover Crop Roller/Crimper, FreeFARM customizable row crop implements, and the DuoSeed Cover Crop Inter-Row Seeder.
All equipment is produced domestically in the United States using locally sourced materials. Dawn’s products are characterized by their black powder-coated finish and are easily recognized by the unique screw-adjust handle used for height adjustment on most Trashwheels row cleaners.
