Description

Designed for primary and secondary tillage in tough conditions. The John Berends Implements RM75 Heavy Duty Trailing Offset Discs Plough combines legendary Gibbins Rawling design with modern high quality components, including European Bellota Boron steel discs, Australian-made Eaton rams, Ryco hoses, and Land Cruiser wheels.

The RM75 is similar to the RM80 with the main difference being in the lesser number of bearings and longer axles. There are 18, 20, 22, 24 and 28 disc models, with cutting widths ranging from 2.06m (6’9″) to 3.2m (10’6″).

Twin pressure screws can be adjusted individually to transfer weight to the rear of the plough, resulting in even disc penetration. The flanged disc bearings have been designed specifically for severe tillage applications, and are encapsulated in two case hardened zinc plated stampings. Two nitrile ‘O’ rings are fitted to exclude contaminants and provide a grease seal to ensure lubricant goes directly into the bearing.

The solid cast spools throughout the gangs, providing ballast weight in the gangs where it counts, rather than on the main frame. Each is individually machined to suit the disc for extra strength. Prong scrapers are included standard.

The RM75 uses 24″ diameter discs, in either 5mm or 6mm thickness, at 9″ spacing. The discs are long wear European Bollota Boron steel discs. Bellota Boron steel discs 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.

Options include formed scrapers, parking jack and furrow fillers.

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.
