Seedbed
Preparation: Rod Weeders
Remove weeds
and condition seedbeds for excellent planting results with Bigham
Brothers' wide selection of rod weeders. High carbon 1"
square rod counter rotates under the seedbed to perform three
jobs that enhance planter performance and seed emergence in row
crops. Rod drive units may be selected to complement tractor
equipment and a wide variety of rod placement hangers may be
chosen to place rod accurately on any tool bar make-up. The rod
weeder rod executes three important functions to prepare a
seedbed:
- Counter-rotation of rod uproots
weeds and provides a positive mechanical undercut across
the bed.
- Rod weeder attachment may be
adjusted to operate rod at anticipated planting depth.
Rod seals moisture at operating depth so that seed may be
placed in fresh, moist soil.
- Upper soil profile will be agitated
for surface drying. Dry soil on top acts as an abrasive
to keep planter disc openers clean and prevent baking.
Standard Features:
- Dependable motor is mounted to
provide adjustability for virtually any application.
Lower torque of motor will prevent damage if rod is in a
bind or locks down.
- Triple sealed permanently lubricated
ball bearings are supplied in a wide selection of bearing
hangers.
- High-Carbon 1" square steel rod
to prevent bending and for long life in abrasive soil.
- Sold in End-drive, Direct-drive and
Folding-bar models, with a variety of hanger
arrangements.
