McFarlane "Reel Disk" Seedbed Conditioner
McFarlane Manufacturing introduces new seedbed preparation tool.

The new “Reel Disk” from McFarlane Mfg. is our latest development in vertical tillage and can satisfy all of the demands of today’s farming practices, especially BT corn and corn on corn cropping. This new tool, featuring ultra-shallow concave disk blades, loosens the top 2-3 inches of the soil yet leaves the seedbed firm. This ensures accurate seed depth at planting, resulting in even emergence and better yields. Smoothing uneven ground and removing small weeds are done quickly at the 7-9 mph operating speeds.

The Reel Disk is available in widths up to 35-ft and requires approximately 8-9 hp/ft.

The ultra-shallow leading disk blades on 7” centers easily penetrate the soil and slice residue into manageable pieces. The gang angle can be set aggressive for more soil movement to bury residue or can be set passive to leave more residue on the surface.

Reversible scrapers are two-way adjustable to maintain optimum disk blade performance. Following the disks is a rank of seven-blade, 18-inch diameter spiral reels that crosscut the residue and mix it into the soil, aiding decomposition. This is the same spiral reel used on our popular Reel Till. To produce the firm and level seedbed for optimum germination and yields, our proven 3-bar spike harrow follows the spiral reel.

The heavy-duty harrow follows the ground contour closely and is flexible to allow residue to flow through. The final touch for the perfect seedbed is our 12-inch diameter rolling basket.

The basket features eight, high-carbon flat bars with adjustable down pressure to make it aggressive for clod sizing and firming or passive for soil separating and conditioning.
Features:
 •  Level lift hitch ensures unit stays level with turnbuckle adjustment to match tractor
 •  Lighting package is standard on all units
 •  Convenient hose/light harness storage
 •  Adjustable-depth and angle disk gang to match varying field conditions
 •  Disk blades are 20" diameter on 7" spacing
 •  Hardened steel spiral blades are mounted using triple-lip regreasable bearings for endurance
 •  Spiral Reels are attached to the frame using large C-springs to reduce vibration and added protection
 •  3-bar flexible spike-tooth harrow features replaceable teeth and wear bushings in linkages
 •  Rolling basket is adjustable and spring loaded to provide proper coverage and pressure for a finishing touch
 •  Can be pulled at speeds from 7 to 9 mph
