Over 45 Years of Dependable Equipment for Progressive Farming
Rip & Bed - Generation I (Parallel Link)
Rip-Bed Gen I (Parallel Link) The KMC Generation I Ripper Bedder has been the leading tool in the industry for many years for one pass deep tillage under the row and forming uniform peaked beds for bedded row crops in one pass. The parallel linkage connection between the front ripper tool bar and the rearward bedder tool bar, and the pneumatic gauge wheels on the bedder tool bar, allow the disc gangs the flotation needed to form beds on varying terrain that are consistent regardless of the operating depth of ripper shanks.
