On that basis, the Orthman 8385 Parallel Linkage BedLister has set the industry standard. The heavy-duty, wrap-around parallel linkage is the product of more than three decades of high horsepower row crop tillage experience and provides precision depth control in the roughest of terrain. Rotary moldboards mounted on high-strength steel shanks offer a smooth and consistent pull to create perfectly shaped beds. The 8385 is available in 6- to 18-row configurations with 30" to 40" spacing to adapt to a wide variety of applications.

Unlike mounting systems that transfer draft force solely through U-bolts that can stretch, distort and break, Orthmans heavy-duty force-through-mount design and wedge locking system join steel to steel to stand up to the rigors of bedding.

Precision seedbeds start with Othmans time-tested row unit foundation. The heavy-duty parallel linkage row unit operates independently of the toolbar, giving you consistent depth control with up to 8 inches of vertical travel for precision bed shaping in uneven field conditions.

Providing 9" of quick and consistent tooling depth control, the hand crank depth adjustment with high visibility depth indicators enable easy height adjustment settings across entire machine.

The rugged 22" depth band coulter easily slices through surface and sub-surface residue to eliminate interference with the lister bottom while it simultaneously maintains precise depth control and provides lateral stability.

Precisely shape your bed height, width and slope with adjustable, smooth-pulling rotary moldboards perfected by Orthman through decades of customer feedback. The shear bolt tail protects the lister unit from rocks and other unseen obstructions, to ensure long life.
