Gates Coulter Disk Features
The Gates Coulter Disk is a primary tillage tool designed to cut and chop heavy residue at higher rates of speed. It
accomplishes this task by using two full ranks of coulter blades set at offset angles adjusted by the operator, which allow
for varying field conditions.
The coulter gangs of the Gates Coulter Disk are adjustable to handle varying field conditions and farming practices. Gangs
are easily adjustable from 0 to 15 degrees to allow for minimal soil disturbance or aggressive soil and residue mixing. This
feature accommodates no till operation to conventional till, and any degree in between. When optional Gates Mounted
Harrows and Rolling Baskets are added to the machine, it becomes an excellent, high speed seedbed preparation tool.
Other features were designed into the Gates Coulter Disk to enhance its performance. Highway service tires are used on
bogie wheel arrangements for maximum flotation in wet conditions. Master-slave hydraulics with rephasing cylinders are
used for single point depth control.
The Gates Coulter Disk is available in varying widths of 24’, 32’, 36’, 40’, 48’, 52’ and 56’ with over-center folding wings
for safe transport.
