Is it possible to combine different discs in one row? I mean maybe one or two cl 2 on the endings of every chain that they work better on the endings of the chain?

[@Kelly_Tillage]

It's not something we usually do, Fjarninger. The exception is with CL2 chains - as you can see at 2:14 in the video, we use lighter CL1 Discs at either end of CL2 chains. This has a 'feathering' effect, balancing out the working depth at the chain ends to create a more even finish.

What about K4 discs?
We have k4 all around but thinking of running k4 in front and cl1 in the rear for perfect seedbed?

[@hendrik1636c]

The reason I'm asking about k4/cl1
We currently running it on hard ground and the back chain tends to bounce if pulling it in the recommended speed.

[@Kelly_Tillage]

Hi Hendrik, thanks for your comment. K4 front and CL1 rear is a popular combination for seedbed preparation.
Bouncing or skipping on the chains is usually a sign that you need to reduce working speed. Swapping your rear K4 Disc Chain for CL1 may help to overcome this issue, but it would be best to speak with our reps to find whether this is the right fit for your conditions.
If you contact us be email ([e-mail]) and describe your issue in more detail, we'd be happy to recommend a solution for you.

What is k4 all around used for mostly

[@Kelly_Tillage]

@@hendrik1636c K4 is primarily intended for enhanced weed control, especially in loam soils. It's also ideal for managing residue - the sharp disc edge slices and chops standing stalks, leaving them on the surface to break down more quickly. You might use K4/K4 instead of K4/CL1 if you were dealing with heavier crop stubble or weed control.

Which disc system would you suggest to combat heavy couch grass infestation? Do you do demo in Latvia, Europe?

[@Kelly_Tillage]

Hi Kristaps,
We'd recommend our new K4 Disc Chain for heavy couch grass; either K4/K4 or K4/CL1, depending on how heavy or light your soil is. You can learn more about our K4 Disc Chain here: ruclips.net/video/vX6h6YVq--s/видео.html
We do have a dealer in Latvia! Email us at [e-mail] and we can put you in contact with them to discuss a demo.
