2021 Concord Disc Drill HD Opener (Double Disc) ST40HD

The Heads-Up Opener provides proven performance in uneven and terraced ground, and now it’s available on Concord’s Disc Drill HD. It offers 24 inches of toolbar travel and 16 inches of row unit travel, giving it the best ground following capabilities of any double disc drill available. And it boasts up to 450 pounds of down pressure per row unit for maximum no-till performance.

A unique parallel linkage design on the Heads-Up Opener keeps each row unit at a consistent angle of attack, which is key to maintaining the same seeding depth across terraces. Additionally, 24 inches of toolbar travel and 16 inches of row unit travel helps the drill follow some of the most challenging ground contours.

Features may include:

• The design of the seed tube slows the descent of the seed to prevent it from bouncing out of the seed trench. The seed is placed at the widest point of the trench, directly below the opener blade axle to provide the best environment for fast, even emergence and optimal seedling growth. Fertilizer can be placed with the seed in the furrow for maximum efficiency.

• Two adjustable springs on the parallel linkage and a hydraulic cylinder on each toolbar provide precise down pressure of up to 450 pounds per row unit, allowing the drill to work well in no-till operations. The pressure is constant throughout the entire range of cylinder travel and is controlled by the operator on the go. A display on the down pressure control box allows the operator to monitor down force on the toolbars.

• Patented soil-control devices contain all of the soil that's displaced from the disc openers so it can be used to cover the seed trench. This feature allows the Heads-Up Opener to travel at faster speeds than competitive units without worry of blowing the soil too far outside of the row to properly close the furrow.

• The patented soil control devices and pivoting closing wheels work together to properly pack black soil over the seed, creating the ideal environment for quick emergence, even in no-till conditions.
