THE DISC AND MOULDBOARD RIDGER/BEDDER


The Disc and Mouldboard Ridger/Bedder consists of a pair or more disc/mouldboard ridging bodies which are suitable for attaching to the main frame so that the two ridging bodies in each pair can simultaneously throw soil in both right-hand as well as left-hand direction to form a ridge. The disc ridger may employ large discs or short disc gangs with two or more of equal or varying diameters with each gang throwing soil in one direction and followed by another disc gang throwing soil in another direction (opposite direction). The mouldboard ridger/bedder employs mouldboard lister bottoms. The sizes of the concave disc or mouldboard lister bottoms and the setting determines, to a greater degree the extent in which the size and shape of the ridge is formed. Most multi-row ridger/bedders make use of discs with small diameters to avert excessive implement draught in the process.
