ONE PASS, DEEP TILLAGE
The Unverferth Ripper-Bedder allows the operator to save time and money by ripping and creating their seedbed all in one pass while in the field. Choose different accessories to customize and meet their individual needs.
MODELS
The Ripper-Bedder is available in 6-shank models with a rigid frame, 8-shank models with a rigid or folding frame and 12-shank models with a folding frame. Depending on the number of shanks, 30”, 36”, 38” and 40” row-spacings are available.
CONSTRUCTION
The heavy-duty, double frame with a 6” x 6” rear mounting bar provides years of maximum durability when traveling in and out of the field. The frame is powder-coated in your choice of tractor red or green in all sizes for a long-lasting finish.
3-POINT HITCH
Depending on frame size and type (rigid or folding) the 3-point hitch works with a variety of tractor 3-point Category 2/3/3N/4/4N standard and quick hitches.
STABILIZER WHEELS
Stabilizer wheels provide added stability and tool-free adjustment for quick and convenient depth adjustment in the field. Rigid models utilize 7.60L x 15 8-ply tires, folding models utilize 9.5L x 15 8-ply tires on the base and wings up to 12 rows, 30” spacing, while models that are 12 rows 36”, 38” and 40” spacing utilize 12.5L x 15 10-ply tires.
LEAD COULTER
The lead coulter features a swivel design for 10 degrees of side-to-side movement to follow ground contours and changing terrain. The 20” blade with 13 waves cut residue with 1,500 lbs. of down force.
SHANK DESIGN
Shanks on all models feature special-alloy, steep-sloped ¾” shanks that loosen compaction up to 18” deep for shattering hardpan. The recommended pulling requirements are 20-40 HP per shank depending on soil type.
SHANK FEATURES
1 ¼” wide patented shark-fin wear bars extend the shank life and minimize resistance for easier pulling. Replaceable raised-center shark-fin points break hardpan with minimal surface soil disturbance and greater durability.
DISC GANG
Bedding disc gangs are fitted with 18” inner- and 20” outer-concave disc blades that can be positioned at 4 different angles, 7°, 13°, 19° and 24°, to meet individual needs.
LISTER
The lister attachment adds 10” wide furrow shovels for 30” spacing and 15” shovels for wider spacings that provides economical bedding for a wide variety of applications.
BED SHAPER KITS
Bed shaper kits are bolted onto the back of the bedding disc toolbar for consistent bed shaping and help build a crisp and firm bed for planting.
SCRAPER KITS
Scraper kits can be added by bolting onto the bedding disc arm and require minimal adjustment when changing the disc cutting angle.
FLEX-FRAME HYDRAULICS
The patented flex-frame hydraulics allows the wings on folding models to float up 15 degrees and down 5 degrees to follow ground contours.
SHANK PROTECTORS
Choose between plastic shank protectors to provide non-stick performance in tacky soils, or steel shank protectors to help protect the shank from abrasive soil.
SHATTER WINGS
Add 7” or 9” shatter wings to the point that are angle-adjustable from 0-14 degrees for additional lifting and shattering action.
