Unverferth 1245

BASKET & DRUM

TIME-TESTED SEEDBED PREP

The Unverferth Rolling Harrow soil conditioner has been proven in the field for more than 35 years. While others imitate this time-tested product, none can duplicate the innovative features and optimal performance of the Rolling Harrow.

MODEL 1245

The double basket design combines an aggressive front basket with angled blades that dig into the soil and propels larger soil clods into the rear, a passive basket with vertical blades that firm and condition the soil. The basket frame can be easily reversed for extra firming action in lighter soils.

SOIL CONDITIONING

The exclusive basket design features notched end and center discs for consistent tillage depth and the blade height is increased by 20% compared to previous models for increased soil penetration and extended life.

BASKET CONSTRUCTION

Models 1245 and 1245D feature a lead 12.5" diameter robotically welded basket with a 1 5/8" center shaft providing full-width basket support and is ideal for pulling at conventional tillage speeds behind field cultivators and discs.

PIVOT ARM COVERS

The double basket and basket-drum mounting arms feature pivot covers that prevent rocks and debris from accumulating, which ensures the basket oscillates and follows ground contours.

BEARINGS

All baskets and drums on the Rolling Harrow soil conditioner feature patented 4-bolt greaseless bearings with a 1 1/8" square bore that can withstand heavy side-load stress during high-speed turns and triple lip seals with an exclusive shouldered construction that prevent the seals from reversing, keeping out dirt and debris.

FRAME

SIZES

The Unverferth Rolling Harrow soil conditioner models 1245 and 1245D are available in sizes ranging from 12’ up to 63’ and feature a 12’ or 15’ base with a stack-, flat-, cross- or 5-section vertical-fold design depending on size.

TONGUE

The oversized 5” x 5” adjustable length tongue can be extended from 10’ 2” to 19’ 2” on 12’ base models and from 12’ 10” to 21’ 10” on 15’ base models which provides a generous turning radius.

HORSEPOWER

Depending on field conditions, generally ½ to 1 ½ horsepower per foot of Rolling Harrow is required and minimal weight is added to the lead tillage implement for reduced stress.

TRANSPORTATION

The main frame features 22" of ground transport clearance and utilizes 9.5L x 15 dual wheels and tires (11L x 15 duals on 5-section vertical fold) for exceptional transport stability.

POWDER COAT

The tongue, main frame and wings are powder coated in your choice of tractor red or green for a long-lasting, high-quality finish.

HYDRAULICS

The Rolling Harrow soil conditioner tillage tool is complete with all hydraulics, including couplers and protectors, to raise the transport wheels and fold the wings. All hydraulic hoses are rated at 3,000 PSI and are routed through the mainframe for longer life.

LEVELING BARS
The optional leveling bar in front of the baskets is ideal for knocking down ridges and leaving a level soil surface. Each leveling bar section features tool-free adjustments with spring pressure for fine-tuning the aggressiveness, or it can be pinned up for high-residue fields.

3/8" THICK BLADES
Thicker 3/8” thick blades are available for the Rolling Harrow basket in lieu of the standard ¼” thick blade for increased longevity when operating at higher tillage speeds.

COVER CROP SEEDER
A revelation in cover crop seeding! Nutrient management and erosion control are vital in today's agricultural world. We know cover crops can help us in these key areas, but how do you plant them efficiently and effectively? Introducing the all-new Cover Crop Seeder option for the Rolling Harrow soil conditioner.

SEEDER FEATURES
A reliable air delivery system sends seed to the tapered seed deflectors which provide greater seeding accuracy. The seed deflectors are positioned closer to the ground to prevent the seed from drifting in the wind.

TONGUE OPTIONS
All sizes of 1245 and 1245D Rolling Harrow soil conditioners can be equipped with an optional gooseneck hitch which raises the tongue 2’ and lengthens the tongue 2’ for added clearance from the lead tool and permits a tighter turning radius.

WING LIFT-ASSIST
An available wing lift-assist option with 7.60 x 15 tires is available for 28’ to 37’ models with a flat- or stack-fold design (standard on 38’ and larger models). For 5-section vertical-fold models, swivel caster wheels are available for the wing lift-assist in lieu of the standard wing lift-assist wheels.

HYDRAULIC OPTIONS
On 18’ to 37’ models with a flat- or stack-fold design, a dual split-function valve option is available which allows the operator to raise the unit completely before folding the wings and allows the unit to unfold the wings before lowering to the ground on a single hydraulic remote.
