Versatile’s Legacy tillage has been proven over hundreds of thousands of acres. Versatile offset discs are all-purpose machines built with the strength needed to perform. An assortment of weight classes, working widths ranging from 10' to 20' (3.0-6.1 m), and 10 ½" or 12" (266 or 305 mm) blade spacings are available. This wide selection of features and options means that the right machine is available to suit any operational needs. |
SD550
The Versatile SD550 is an all-purpose offset disc that provides the flexibility of doing either primary or secondary tillage work. The SD550 weighs 550 lb/ft and is available in either 9" or 10.5" blade spacing with 24" or 26" blades. |
Stone Flex Hanger
Stone-Flex hangers are standard on all Versatile offset discs. With the extreme thrust forces present on a disc and the potential for large rocks in some areas, the Stone-Flex hanger is a perfect choice for absorbing shock loads. The 1 ¼" x 2- ½” C-shaped spring steel reacts to both vertical and horizontal forces. Disc blade penetration is not compromised. |
Blade Scrapers
All Versatile 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. |
Adjustable Gang Angle
Versatile offset discs allow operators to change the angle of cut between three (two on the SD1050) different positions. This causes the disc to cut with more or less aggressive discing action. Soil conditions such as residue or trash levels, moisture, etc. change from year to year and only a disc with adjustable gang angle will perform well in all these different types of conditions. |
Positive Depth Control
A 5½” heavy-duty rockshaft with greaseable bearings is the foundation of the single offset disc's depth control system. A single cylinder with positive depth control segments provides consistent and repeatable working depth. An adjustable crank allows the operator to quickly level the disc from front to back to perfectly match the tillage conditions. |
Removable Spindle Axles
Versatile offset 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. Compressed to the industry’s highest clamp load during assembly, Versatile's fabricated spools ensure the gang will not shift and become loose. |
Large Gang Shaft
All 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 offset discs have furrow filler blades as standard equipment. On larger working widths two furrow fillers are standard, one 4" smaller than the working blades and one 8" smaller, (only one furrow filler is used on model SD1050). One furrow filler blade that is 4" smaller than the working blades is standard on smaller working widths. These blades along with full sizes blades work together to create a uniform well-worked field. |
Multiple Hydraulic Upgrades
Optional Single Point Depth Control and Hydraulic Hitch Angle Adjustment allow the operator to quickly fine tune their offset 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. |
Pan-Style Scrapers
Available on models SD550 and SD650, optional pan-style scrapers contact lower down on the disc blade to provide more effective cleaning and prevent sticky soil from building up. As a result, blades cut cleaner and draft is lighter. Scraper material is a boron alloy steel for enhanced wear characteristics. All scrapers are adjustable individually or as a group for optimum field performance. |
Disc Blades
Quality disc implements start with quality blades. All Versatile discs feature the latest technology in micro alloy boron steel blades that combine the important performance characteristics of superior breakage - with long wearing abrasion resistant hardness. |
