8" Cut Away Disc

NEW REVERSIBLE HUB DESIGN!

Cut-away discs shallowly cultivate a band of soil close to the plant row without pushing soil into the row. The tool is well suited to working in very small seedlings and can break up crusted soil without disturbing delicate crop roots in the row. It is typically used with direct seeded crops such as beets, carrots, lettuce, and onions.

When used in combination with other tools such as finger weeders or A-blades, cutaway discs can help prevent chunks of soil from getting pushed into the crop row or dislodging plants in the row. In more established crops cutaway discs and finger weeders can work well in tandem as the cutaway discs define strips of soil with exposed shoulders that the fingers can punch into laterally.

Function:

• New hub+shank design lets you mount the shank on either side of the disc for cutaway or hilling operations!
• Protects crop rows when using other cultivation tools
• Keeps soil from being thrown onto young seedlings
• Loosen up crusted soil
• Helps optimize soil engagement of additional tools, such as finger weeders
• Ideal for walk-behind tractors, and belly-mounted tools on cultivating tractors
• 7/8" round shank

Keep In Mind:

• Discs can cut horizontal leaf growth of more mature crops
• Discs should be used after the crop is visible
