| Rip & Bed - Generation 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. |
