What is different types of bed formers ?

Heavy-duty disc type Heavy-duty disc bed formers are suited to semi-prepared soils with moderate amounts of trash cover. They are very suited to a wide range of soil types and can build a bed in most conditions, although the finish of bed may be quite rough in ‘gluepot’ soils on the first pass. Parts from old equipment, such as trash incorporator legs, can be used to make a ‘budget’ bed former.

Plough-type Plough-type bed formers are also best used in reasonably well-tilled soil. However, as they have digging points, they will penetrate the harder subsoil and give a consistent bed height across variable fields. They require reasonably high horsepower to operate as a lot of soil is carried and the points must penetrate the firmer subsoil. This type of bed former typically leaves a V-shaped bottom in the area that the tractor and harvester tires will run – a flatter bottom may be preferable. The bed is flat on top, so does not match harvester base cutter angles very well. This bed is very suitable for growing and harvesting soybeans prior to replanting cane. The overall finish of the beds is typically very smooth.

Scraping-type bed formers do a good job where the soil is well
tilled, with plenty of loose soil depth and is almost completely
free of trash and debris. They typically produce a very uniform
bed when correctly adjusted, as they carry soil that fills in
depressions in the field being bedded. They are only useful the
first time that beds are being built from a fallow situation and
are not suitable for rebuilding old beds.
