Rolling Harrow® 1245D Unverferth Seedbed Tillage

The Unverferth Rolling Harrow® soil conditioner has been the industry's leading soil finisher for more than 30 years.  And it just keeps getting better!

The model 1245D Rolling Harrow® adds to the three decades long tradition of aggressive, scalloped and pitched front rolling baskets and combines it with a cleated rear rolling drum to enhance soil firming.  The exclusive lead basket design features notched end and center discs along with 20% taller blades for optimum soil penetration while the rear rolling drum pushes down stones for additional draper head clearance at harvest.

    Features

    • The model 1245D features a 13" diameter rear rolling drum with 1 1/2" welded cleats that drive the drum through the field while creating channels for enhanced water retention
    • The 12.5" diameter lead baskets feature an exclusive deisgn with a 1 5/8" center shaft providing full-width basket support, notched end and center discs for greater depth and soil penetration and 20% taller blades for increased penetration and extended life
    • The basket-drum design combines an aggressive front basket with angled blades that dig into the soil and a rear drum that maximizes soil firming while pushing down stones for increased draper head clearance at harvest
    • The lead basket features high-carbon steel blades that thoroughly mulches, agitates and mixes the top 2-3 inches of soil for optimum residue and chemical incorporation
    • Free-floating basket rollers provide uniform soil conditioning in a wide variety of field terrains and soil types
    • Patented 4-bolt greaseless basket bearings with triple lip seals and 1 1/8" square bore for withstanding heavy side-load stress during high speed turns
    • Minimal weight is added to the primary tillage implement lengthening its life
    • Adjustable-length tongue for ideal turning
    • 22" of ground transport clearance
    • On 12' - 45' units, single hydraulics with a split function valve is standard and on 47' - 63' units, dual hydraulics are standard
    • All hydraulic hoses are routed through mainframe and include end caps for longer life
    • Standard jack for parking and storing the implement
    • Working widths from 12' to 63' in stack-, cross- and vertical-folding and designs for a narrow transport width
    • Your choice of high-gloss, powder coat finish of tractor red or green

    Cover Crop Seeder

    A revelation in cover crop seeding!  Nutrient management and erosion control are vital in today's agricultural world.  We know cover crops can help us in these key areas, but how do you plant them efficiently and effectively?  Introducing the all-new Cover Crop Seeder option for the Rolling Harrow® soil conditioner.

    This innovative option permits one-pass seeding, tilling and incorporating for a great crop start!  Pull the unit behind a lead tillage tool or by itself for high-speed application that works the seed into the ground for better seed-to-soil contact.  You'll plant your cover crops faster and see a more consistent stand with this new and innovative seeder.

    Standard Features

    • Available on 18' to 37' Rolling Harrow models 1245 and 1245D with a flat- or stack-fold.
    • Hopper features a 32.5 bushel (40.5 cu. ft.) capacity, side-mounted sight windows and a standard roll-over tarp with ground operation for protecting the hopper's contents.
    • Reliable air delivery with tapered seed deflectors provide greater seeding accuracy.  The seed deflectors are positioned closer to the ground to prevent seed from drifting in the wind.
    • Roller-style, chevron meter design creates a continous flow of seed and can handle most any cover crop seed.  Meters can be easily removed for cleanout.
    • Slide gates provide easy, manual row shut-off of individual row units.
    • Quickly monitor fan pressure, seed level and seed meter function with hopper-mounted indicator lights.
    • Standard on/off operation is plumbed with the hydrualic raise/lower of the machine or can be operated wtih a cab-mounted foot switch.
    • Seeding rate is controlled by tractor speed and electronic-over-hydraulic meter control.  Hydraulic drive metering needs 22 gpm flow at 2,200 psi and requires a case drain.

    Accessories

    • On flat and stack fold models, an optional gooseneck hitch is available for added clearance from the lead tool allowing for a tighter turning radius
    • Optional leveling bar in front of the rollers provides added smoothing and a more even surface for the most effective tillage action possible
    • The leveling bar features a tool-free spring pressure adjustment for fine-tuning aggressiveness
    • Leveling bar can be pinned up for high-residue situations and available with choice of:
      • Diagonal cuvred round tooth with heat-treated 3/4" x 11" teeth
      • Spike-tooth with forged 3/4" x 11" diamond-shaped teeth
      • Coil-tine with 3/8" x 17" long spring tine
    • Offset tongue is ideal for tillage operation at the field's edge
      • Hydraulically operated adjustment up to 2' to match the outer edge of the lead implemenet
    • Extendible Tongue allows the operator to extend the tongue length by driving forward or shorten the tongue length by backing up
      • Hydraulically operated locking pins are actuated and automatically engaged at the desired position to lock the hitch in either the transport or field position
      • On 39' - 45' units, 8' of adjustment is available and on 47' - 63' units, 15'9" of adjustment is available
