The 200 Seedbed Finisher has excellent residue-handling capability in secondary tillage.   The rolling baskets and spiraling rods separate soil from root balls and uprooted weed clumps, providing a level surface for planting.   The spiraling rods are spaced to produce a soil texture to thwart crusting, firm the soil, and preserve moisture in the seed zone for good seed germination and early root growth.   Each section of spiral rollers is spring cushioned to place firm pressure uniformly over uneven soil surface, facilitating good penetration and leveling.

Heavy-duty 102-mm x 102-mm (4-in. x 4-in.) double-truss tube construction on the 200 Seedbed Finisher's mainframe and wings provides added strength and down pressure for improved leveling and consistent rolling basket depth.

The rolling baskets on the 200 Seedbed Finisher are secured with Dura-Flex bearings featuring the following:

• Elimination of gang bolt, spacers, washer
• Triple-lip seal arrangement
• Self-alignment
• Elimination of internal bearing stress

Tongue-length adjustments can be made with a simple pin adjustment on the 200 Seedbed Finisher. This makes it easy to create the desired turning radius.

In most applications, the weight of the base machine works extremely well with good leveling. However, for more aggressive action and more uniform weight distribution on the wings, two weight packages are available:

• The 136.4-kg (300-lb) weight package consists of 12 laser cut plates, six bolted to each wing end.
• The 272.7-kg (600-lb) weight package consists of 24 laser cut plates, 12 bolted to each wing end.

Small stones may occasionally get trapped inside the rolling basket and damage the grease fitting. The attached guard utilizes the bearing flange bolts and wraps around the grease fitting to minimize damage. The guard is contoured to allow good access for lubrication.
