SA-AG has redesigned its single disk bedder to be lighter yet stronger. The new folding toolbar’s geometry and lighter tubing bridge the gap between strength and price.
“Our Latest Design Single Disc Bedder (LD SDB) maintains the rigidity and durability of the original design, yet is competitive in price with other single disc bedders,” says Kory Castilaw, SA-AG.
The LD SDB mounts the proven row units of the original design. The single-gang design offers better row-to-row stability and less maintenance. However, mounting to the toolbar has changed. They now mount to the front and rear tubing on the toolbar, with each row secured with heavy-duty U-bolts. The mount ensures spacing and accuracy are easily maintained.
Thanks to the new mount, each row unit acts as a stringer to reinforce the toolbar. Attaching the leading edge of each row unit to the front tubing on the toolbar also helps with counterweight as the entire unit’s center of gravity is shifted closer to the tractor hitch.
The LD SDB retains the adjustable foot pieces that allow each blade to be adjusted from 18 degrees to 24 degrees or 30 degrees in minutes. Combined with the narrow single gang design, the bedder can run in any soil condition on any row spacing.
The in-house-designed, notched, 24-in. blades remain unchanged. They aid in trash flow and increase cutting pressure to better size material and debris. Each blade is attached to its hub assembly with the adjustable foot pieces, with a load rating of 4,500 lbs.
Instead of rubber-tired wheels, 28-in., all-steel, heavy-duty stabilizers slice through the ground. Depth bands on either side help maintain working depth.
Optional attachments include double baskets or a basket and roller combo. Heavy-duty arms and bushings support each rear attachment for optimum down pressure with added springs.
LA SDBs are available in various configurations and row spacing ranging from 19 to 60 ft.
“Due to fluctuations in material prices, contact our offices for current pricing,” says Castilaw.
