2021 Concord Disc Drill SD Opener (Single Disc) ST50SD

2021 Concord Disc Drill SD Opener (Single Disc) ST50SD

The Disc Drill SD with single disc opener is different than any other single disc drill out there. The unique Concord® design offers more consistent seeding depth, superior fertilizer placement capabilities, better seedbeds, faster speeds and less maintenance than competitive drills. So take everything you know about single disc drills and throw it out the window. Concord has what you need for higher yields and better return on investment out of a disc drill in conventional, minimum and no-till environments.

Placement of fertilizer in relation to seed is critical to planting success. The discs also provide the unique capability to throw soil back over the fertilizer immediately after its application — no other drill on the market is capable of capturing and retaining NH3 with such a high degree of efficiency.

This puts the fertilizer exactly where it should be to feed the seeds, and not the weeds. Competitive drills typically space rows 10 inches apart, putting fertilizer a full 5 inches away from the seed.

You don't need an 80-foot-wide drill to cover a lot of ground quickly. In fact, a 50-foot Concord Disc Drill SD can cover more acres per hour by traveling at recommended speeds of 8 to 10 miles per hour, compared with wider competitive drills traveling at only 6 miles per hour.

Features may include:

• Hydraulic cylinders provide down pressure from the toolbar. 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.

• Making quick, precise depth adjustments on the Disc Drill SD is easy. Simply add or remove stop collars on the hydraulic cylinders of the frame wheels to decrease or increase seeding depth in quarter-inch increments. This convenient feature saves time by eliminating the need to adjust each opener independently. It also helps ensure operators dial in the ideal seeding depth, rather than settling for a depth that is "good enough."

• Unlike competitive disc drills, which simply cut a slot in the ground, Concord's disc openers are designed to move more soil when creating a furrow. This results in a warmer, blacker seedbed for improved seed-to-soil contact versus other systems that tend to leave a lot of residue in the seedbed.

• The wide packer tires are not only ideal for maintaining consistent seeding depth, but they are also excellent at re-leveling and firming the seedbed as the drill travels.
