THE PROCESS
In heavier soil types or lay ground, the bed tilling process can be appropriate. The ScanStone bed tiller is an efficient and effective machine, primarily due to having quick change blades. Depending on the rotor speed, the bed tiller can do a very fine job or a rougher job depending on how much fuel and energy the farmer wishes to use. The amount of bed tilling should be proportional to the forward speed of the destoner.
CONFIGURATION
The ScanStone 1.8m rear mounted single bed tiller is a suitable machine for a tractor of no less than 100hp. When being used for the potato/vegetable application, the machine is normally fitted with bed making ploughs on the rear, which can either have shearbolt protection or hydraulic auto reset. The machine features the award-winning quick change blade system as standard.

Quick Change Blade System
The Quick Change Blade System works with a double flange rotor, locating bolts, and a clip and pin which holds the blade securely. This is a cost-effective system, because the holding bolts and the clip and pin do not need replaced every time a blade is changed, unlike a bolted blade where the operator has to buy 2 bolts and 2 nuts every blade change. It is extremely rare that blades are lost with this system because the hard pin and clip never come off. The flanges are protected by hardened steel wear plates which are reversible and replaceable.
L-Shaped Blades
L-blades maintain a constant depth for the life of the blade, and do not lose depth as the blade wears.
C-Shaped Blades
C-blades require less horsepower and are good for conditions where the soil is lighter and not so heavy. The panning effect is vastly reduced by using C-blades.
Spike Rotor
The spike rotor is used when there is no grass or lay conditions and where the soil is easily broken down. Spikes completely eliminate any panning.
Spring Loaded Adjustable Tailgate
The rear tailgate on the bed tiller can be adjusted to hold soil into the machine or let it flow through more easily. This is dependent on ground conditions and how thorough a bed tilling job is to be done.
Rear Linkage With Depth & Pitch Adjustment
Each bed tiller comes with a standard hitch system on the rear to allow various styles of ploughs to be fitted. The hitch system has two top links to allow depth and pitch adjustment.
