Description

The John Berends Implements GM40 Heavy Duty Linkage Offset Discs Ploughs are designed for extremely tough conditions. This product is one of the strongest linkage disc ploughs available. Cutting widths range from 2.06m (6’9″) to 2.74m (9′). The GM40’s heavy weighted gangs provide excellent digging ability, while its twin spring loaded pressure screws prevent damage in rocky or undulating conditions. Solid cast spools, individually machined, provide all the weight in the gangs rather than in the frame (which can add load to the bearings). The GM40 uses 550mm (22″) diameter x 4mm thick discs at 9″ spacing. Optional 610mm (24″) diameter x 5mm thick discs are also available. Prong scrapers are also an option, and are available for all models. John Berends Disc Ploughs are made in Australia, and fitted with long wear European Bollota Boron steel discs. Bellota Boron steel discs are manufactured under strict quality specifications that ensure correct hardness and uniformity throughout the disc. This includes clamp hardening to prevent distortion, lathe turning of the edges and hardening to 50HRc for low wear and long life. A note on Gibbins Rawling – In 1986, John Berends Implements brought Gibbins-Rawling. By taking on the Gibbins Rawling range, John Berends could offer a quality range of discs that had a long and respectable history with Australian farmers. The Gibbins Rawlings name and colours were kept until 1998, after which all machines were painted in Berends colours.
