Rip & Bed - Generation II (Parallel Link)
Rip & Bed - Generation II(Parallel Link)
Shown with optional Bed Shaper
The KMC Generation II Ripper Bedder is the ultimate tool for sub soiling under the row and forming, uniform, peaked beds for row crops. 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.
