The KMC 6800 Series Ripper Bedder allows for deep tillage under the row and forming uniform peaked beds for bedded row crops in one pass. 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.   Requires approximately 25-40 HP per shank dpending on depth and soil conditions.

  • Two Disc Gang assemblies per row attached to rear 4x4" tool bar
