Model 8700-LTF Tandem Disc

50+ years in the tillage business has taught us how to build top quality Tandem and Offset Discs. When you pull into a field of stubble, old pasture or slough bottoms, you are looking for superior blade penetration and smooth fields with no plugging, ridging or rough spots.

Ezee-On's newest disc – the Model 8700-LTF delivers results with features like our Floating Hitch for smoother fields, less plugging and better ground following ability; Low Transport Fold - folding wings offer up to 43' working width with only 13'6" transport height; 10.5" or 12" blade spacing and up to 30" x 3/8" blades offer outstanding performance in any field or trash conditions.

• Low Transport Fold: Transport height for all sizes is under 14' (4.3m)
• 700lbs/ft weight class – handles the toughest soil conditions
• Heaviest gang bearings in the industry – up to 7 year limited warranty
• Floating Hitch - for smooth field finish and less plugging
• 10.5" or 12" blade spacing – result is better trash flow
• 26", 28" or 30" blades (5/16" or 3/8" thick) – for longer life and greater durability
• 37'– 42½' (11.3 – 12.9m) widths available

The 8700-LTF features heavy-duty frame construction. Both main and inner frames are all-welded, entirely of 8” x 4” x .375 wall tubing. To carry the massive outer gangs, each outrigger on the wing frames is additionally strengthened over the wheels to an unbelievable 12 inches.

Staggered, overlapping front gangs on the Model 8700-LTF disc ensures that all soil at the center of the disc is cut out cleanly and evenly. Besides leaving a more level soil profile, this feature eliminates the need for a center shank or bulk buster normally supplied on most conventional tandems.

Four large 5" x 36" (127 x 914mm) cylinders folds Model 8700-LTF hydraulically to a transport width of 17' (5.2m).

A rephrasing hydraulic lift system is standard equipment on the 8700-LTF disc. Depth stop segments c/w holder (main frame lift cylinder only) are supplied with each disc to ensure continuous same-depth tilling. Each of the wing frames can be easily leveled using a conveniently located eye-bolt adjustment. Cylinder arms on each of the rockshafts are equipped with replaceable hardened wear bushings for prolonged trouble free performance.

A heavy-duty main frame rockshaft forms the backbone of the 8700-LTF lift system. Constructed of 6-5/8” diameter heavy wall tubing, the rockshaft rotates freely in three greaseable graphite-plastic bearing saddles designed to eliminate metal to metal wear points.

Tandem Walking beam axles are standard on the 8700-LTF main frame. Each walking beam pivots on two tapered roller bearings to improve weight distribution and stability when the disc is being transported.

The 8700LTF features 4 - 15.5/55-17 18 PR on the Main frame and 4 - 12.5L x 15 LR"D" on the wings for added floatation and severe ground conditions.

Inter-Locking Bearing Spools - This exclusive Ezee-On feature ensures that each bearing sleeve interlocks with adjoining half spools to provide positive drive to blades reduces possibility of blades turning on gang shaft. Optional for 24" or 26" blades, standard with 28" and 30" blades (available with 10.5" and 12" spacing only).

Incorporating a keyed ID head washer onto a keyed gangshaft, this method ensures a positive locking engagement for the complete gang assembly. Standard on 28” and 30” blades.

FRONT GANGS: Staggered and overlapping eliminates need for center shank or bulk buster.

BEARINGS: T2-215 Series Trunnion Mounted Bearings.

RIGID HANGERS: Massive 1¼" x 5 welded steel construction. Slim line design and contoured to maximize trash clearance. Hangers are U-Bolt mounted to gang beam for ease of adjustment or removal.

SCRAPERS: 4” wide formed carbon steel, U-Bolt mounted scraper bar for maximum adjustment. Optional heavy duty scrapers are available for rugged conditions.

FURROW FILLER BLADES: Integral to rear gangs, four are supplied standard with each disc.

WALKING BEAM AXLES: are standard on the 8700-LTF mainframe. Each walking beam pivots on 2 tapered roller bearings to improve weight distribution and stability, especially when in transport.
