The right small disc can still pack a big punch

Feb 22, 2018 | Tough Tillage Update, Wheel Offset Harrow

Ask a group of farmers what they like to see in their equipment, and you’ll likely to hear two things: versatility and durability.

Sure, we expect to see these qualities in large disc harrows…but what about smaller models? Are there any small discs on the market that pack a big punch?

You bet! AMCO’s 3-point discs are built to be just as tough and flexible as our large harrows. Because of their compact design, our smaller discs can handle any job you throw at them. Because of their durability, they can overcome the toughest operating conditions.

Need proof? Check out our LOF Offset and LTF Double Offset Harrows.

LOF Lift Offset Harrow

Weighing in at 2,392 pounds, the LOF is designed to tackle specialized applications like building and maintaining food plots, logging roads, gardens, turn rows, and firebreaks. It’s also great for seedbed preparation.

LTF features include:

  • Exclusive shield protects eight greaseable ball-type, toggle-mounted, triple lip sealed Protect-O-Shield Bearings. The design eliminates blown seals and prevents wrap damage. Guaranteed for two full years.
  • Shock Absorber Bearing Risers absorb shock when disc blades encounter obstacles, flexing to lift blades that have met an obstruction while keeping the other gangs in contact with the soil.
  • 18″ x ¼” cutout blades on small-frame harrows and 22″ x ¼” cutout blades on large-frame harrows.
  • Drilled and threaded bumper washers for easy installation of optional feathering blades.
  • Small-frame models fit category I hitches. Large-frame models and the Pine Plantation model fit category II or III quick hitches.
  • Gang angles adjust from 14° to 18° to adapt to any soil conditions.
  • 1½” square, high-carbon, cold-rolled steel axles.
  • Standard heavy-duty scrapers with replaceable high-carbon blades remove soil buildup from cutting blades.
  • Optional feathering blades catch soil thrown by blades on the front gang before it falls in adjacent rows, resulting in a smooth finish and allowing faster operation.
  • A rugged, tubular, welded, steel-reinforced frame with a durable, powder-coated finish.
  • Two auxiliary bars provide additional support for the gang frames.
