Medium cut—Bl4" front, IV" rear
Tough cut—Bl4" front, 814" rear
Chdce of 18", 20" and 22" bladt diameters to match your
discing needs
Choice of 10, 8 and 7-gauge blade thicknesses gives you the
strength you need for your soil conditions
Back-up plates on all blades provide extra strength near the spool
to combat breakage and rock damage while leaving razqr-sharp
edges for cutting
Outer gang blades are 2" less in diameter than other blades to
leave a level, finished field surface
Adjustable gangs are simple to move to the discing angle you need
for a smooth, level seedbed in any soil
Heavy weight per blade-approximately 75 lbs -helps harrow
penetrate deep and cut clean
Heavy-duty bearing brackets soak up shock
under normal conditions.
Parallel lift gives you the ground clearance you need to transport
a wide disc harrow.
