Product Overview
Fight compaction and create an ideal seedbed for peanuts, cotton and other bedded crops; save time and fuel by doing both in one pass. Now that’s how to get a new growing season off to a great start!
Feature Overview
- Heavy-duty, double frame, welded construction and 6" x 6" rear bar
- Steep-sloped, heat-treated deep-till shanks that loosen compaction to a depth of 18 inches and allow plant roots access to soil moisture and nutrients beneath the hardpan
- Model 410 features economical, shear-bolt shank protection with 7,500 lbs. of shear pressure
- Model 430 features auto-reset shanks with pivoting shank mounts that trip upward and rearward for avoiding in-field obstacles and quickly reset without the need for shear-bolt replacement; trip pressure of 6,000 lbs. for consistent working depth

- Model 430 features auto-reset shanks with pivoting shank mounts that trip upward and rearward for avoiding in-field obstacles and quickly reset without the need for shear-bolt replacement; trip pressure of 6,000 lbs. for consistent working depth
- Bedding disk gangs are fitted with 18" outer- and 20" inner-concave disk blades that till, raise and shape the seedbed for optimum seed germination and vigorous, early plant growth
- Gang positioning can be staggered for shaping rounded beds that capture and retain more moisture, or opposed for a taller, peaked bed
- Disk blades are 4-position angle adjustable from 7-degrees to 24 degrees
- Bedder arms can be mounted offset or in-line (back to back) for a cleaner furrow
- Bedder arms feature a parallel link design and are tool-free adjustable to one of three settings:
- Floating – works best in rolling contours and previously tilled soils
- Semi-rigid – works well when extra downpressure is needed but arms may still float freely downward to follow uneven soils
- Rigid – ideal for untilled conditions and standing beds from previous crop where soil penetration is important in level conditions
- Durable powder-coat finish of tractor red or green
