Versatile TANDEM DISC TD400

Overview

Versatile tillage equipment has been proven over hundreds of thousands of acres and five decades of groundbreaking expertise have been used to develop the adaptable and rugged Versatile Viking.

The vertical tillage tool will cut, chop and size difficult residue in the most demanding ground conditions while at the same time mixing the residue into the top 1" to 5" of soil. The Versatile Viking is designed for multi-season tillage thanks to an adjustable gang angle that can work through spring seedbed preparation and fall residue management with ease. Customize the implement to perform in a wide range of field and soil condition with gang angles that can be manually or hydraulically adjusted from 0-12° in 4°increments.

TD400

The TD400 model is a medium weight, 350 lb/ft (521 kg/m) weight class, single section tandem disc. Available in sizes from 11.5' to 20' (3.2 - 6.1 m) with a choice of 8" or 9" (203 or 230 mm) blade spacing. Use for secondary tillage, seedbed preparation or primary tillage where conditions are suitable.

Multiple Hydraulic Upgrades

Optional Single Point Depth Control and Hydraulic Hitch Angle Adjustment allow the operator to quickly fine tune their tandem disc to the tillage conditions they are encountering. These upgrades allow depth setting and hitch angle corrections to be made in seconds with minimal effort.

Blade Scrapers

All tandem discs feature one piece, 4" wide blade scrapers made of carbon steel for long wear life. The scrapers are U-bolt mounted for maximum adjustment on a heavy-duty tubular steel bar. All scrapers are located high end to the inside of the blade for maximum trash flow and to reduce draft requirements. This eliminates the need for trash guards.

Transport

Hydraulic lockout valves are supplied standard to prevent accidental operation of either the lift or wing cylinders when the disc is being transported. The TD500N boasts a transport width of under 12', and the TD600N folds into an impressive 9.5' wide transport package.

Staggered Front Gangs

Staggered, overlapping front gangs are standard (except on TD400) and ensure that all soil at the center of the disc is cut out cleanly and evenly. Besides leaving a more level soil profile, this feature eliminates the need for a center shank or bulk buster normally supplied on most conventional tandems.

Removable Spindle Axles

Versatile tandem discs are built with maintenance concerns in mind. All spindle axles are designed for easy removal and maximum strength. Each spindle is bolted into a sleeve and can be removed by simply removing the bolt and pulling out the axle. This will save valuable time if repairs to a tire are needed.

Steel Fabricated Spools

Versatile discs feature fabricated steel half and full spools. Unlike cast iron spools, steel spools can withstand far greater “shock loads” from rocks or stumps thereby eliminating spool breakage. The fabricated spools are compressed to maximum density prior to assembly and will not shift and become loose.

Large Gang Shaft

Versatile discs feature a large 1 15/16" diameter, high carbon steel gang shaft. This gang shaft along with Versatile’s steel fabricated spools allows the gang assembly to be torqued at the factory to 3,200 ft/lb.

Furrow Filler Blades

In order to get the most uniform and consistent field finish, Versatile tandem discs have furrow filler blades as standard equipment. Furrow filler blades are standard, the first 4" smaller than the working blades and the second 8" smaller. These blades along with full sizes blades work together to create a uniform well-worked field.

Hydraulic Lift System

Depth stop segments are supplied with each disc that clamp onto the main frame lift cylinder to ensure continuous same-depth tilling. Each of the wing frames can be easily levelled using a conveniently located eye-bolt adjustment. Cylinder arms on each of the rockshafts are equipped with replaceable hardened wear bushings for prolonged trouble free performance.

Tandem Walking Beam Assembly

Depth stop segments are supplied with each disc that clamp onto the main frame lift cylinder to ensure continuous same-depth tilling. Each of the wing frames can be easily levelled using a conveniently located eye-bolt adjustment. Cylinder arms on each of the rockshafts are equipped with replaceable hardened wear bushings for prolonged trouble free performance.

Interlocking Half Spools

This exclusive Versatile feature ensures that each bearing sleeve interlocks with adjoining half spools to provide positive drive to blades and reduces the possibility of blades turning on the gang shaft. Optional with 26" blades, standard with 28" and larger (available on 10.5" and 12" spacing only).

Standard Stone-Flex Bearing Hangers

Stone-Flex hangers come standard on all Versatile tandem discs and provide additional protection to the gang bearings, blades and components. With extreme side loads present on tandem disc gangs and the possibility of rocks in some areas, Stone-Flex hangers are perfect for absorbing shock loads. The C-shaped spring steel reacts to both vertical and horizontal shock loads and disc blade penetration is not compromised like it is with spring-loaded gang systems.
