Mounted Offset Disc Harrow

Mounted Offset Disc Harrows Mounted offset disc harrows are agricultural implements used for tillage and seedbed preparation. They consist of a series of metal discs arranged in a row, typically mounted on a frame that can be attached to a tractor or other machinery for ground engagement. Design: Mounted offset disc harrows consist of a series of concave discs mounted on a sturdy frame. The discs are arranged in two offset gangs, with each gang typically consisting of several individual discs. These discs are usually made of durable materials such as high-carbon steel to withstand the rigors of field work. Function: When pulled behind a tractor, the offset disc harrow cuts through the soil, breaking it up and turning it over. The offset arrangement of the disc gangs allows for better coverage and penetration, especially in uneven terrain. As the discs rotate, they pulverize soil clods, incorporate crop residue, and create a smooth seedbed for planting. Adjustability: Many mounted offset disc harrows offer adjustable features such as disc angle, gang spacing, and working depth. These adjustments allow farmers to customize the tillage operation according to soil conditions, crop requirements, and tillage objectives.
