2018 Versatile Offset Disc SD650

The model SD650 Versatile offset is an excellent primary tillage tool. Designed for forage breaking and heavy residue this disc is perfect for all agricultural applications and light industrial work. The SD650 is available in working widths from 10' to 20' and choice of 10.5" or 12" blade spacing

Versatile offset discs are available in weight classes ranging from 550 lb/ft to 1050 lb/ft. Designed to be stronger and last longer Versatile discs feature extreme-duty bearings, tightest gangs with steel fabricated spools torqued to an impressive 3,200 ft-lb.

Features may include:

• The Versatile SD550 disc is an all-purpose offset that provides operators the flexibility of a primary or secondary tillage piece. The SD550 is available in 9" or 10.5" spacing and allows operators to manage corn stalks and heavy residue, as well as, break hay fields and heavy pasture. The SD550 can also prepare a smooth seed bed for planting.

• All Versatile discs feature one piece, 4" wide blade scrapers made of carbon steel for long wear life. The scrapers are U-bolt mounted for maximum adjustment on a heavy-duty tubular steel bar. All scrapers are located high end to the inside of the blade for maximum trash flow and to reduce draft requirements. This eliminates the need for trash guards.

• Versatile offset discs allow operators to change the angle of cut between three (two on the SD1050) different positions. This causes the disc to cut with more or less aggressive discing action. Soil conditions such as residue or trash levels, moisture, etc. change from year to year and only a disc with adjustable gang angle will perform well in all these different types of conditions.

• A 5-1/2" heavy-duty rockshaft, in greaseable bearings, is the foundation of the single offset disc‘s depth control system. A single cylinder with positive depth control segments provides consistent and repeatable working depth. An adjustable crank allows the operator to regulate the balance of pressure on both front and rear gangs.

• Versatile offset discs are built with maintenance concerns in mind. All spindle axles are designed for easy removal and maximum strength. Each spindle is bolted into a sleeve and can be removed by simply removing the bolt and pulling out the axle. This will save valuable time if repairs to a tire are needed.

• Versatile discs feature fabricated steel half and full spools. Unlike cast iron spools, steel spools can withstand far greater “shock loads” from rocks or stumps thereby eliminating spool breakage. Compressed to maximum density prior to assembly, Versatile’s fabricated spools ensure the gang will not shift and become loose.

• All Versatile discs feature a large 1-15/16" diameter, high carbon steel gang shaft. This gang shaft along with Versatile’s steel fabricated spools allows the gang assembly to be torqued at the factory to 3200 ft/lb.

• In order to get the most uniform and consistent field finish, Versatile offset discs have furrow filler blades as standard equipment. On larger working widths two furrow fillers are standard, one 4" smaller than the working blades and one 8" smaller, (only one furrow filler is used on model SD1050). On smaller working widths one furrow filler blade 4" smaller that the working blades is standard. These blades along with full sizes blades work together to create a uniform well-worked field.
