A disc ridger with two furrows is a specific type of agricultural implement designed for creating two raised rows or furrows in the soil. These raised rows are often used for planting crops like potatoes, sweet potatoes, and other root vegetables. Here’s how a disc ridger with two furrows typically works:

Disc Blades: The disc ridger is equipped with pairs of concave, circular metal discs mounted on a horizontal shaft. These discs have a notched or serrated edge and are spaced apart to create two furrows.

Mounting and Depth Adjustment: The disc ridger is usually attached to a tractor or another suitable towing vehicle. Operators can adjust the depth at which the discs will penetrate the soil to create the furrows.

Field Operation: As the tractor moves forward, the spinning disc blades cut into the soil to the preset depth. The discs create two rows of raised soil, which form furrows in the center.

Ridge Formation: The action of the disc blades creates raised rows of soil on either side of the furrows. These ridges provide an ideal planting bed for crops that require well-drained and elevated growing conditions.

Planting: After the furrows are formed, farmers can plant their crops directly into the furrows. The furrows help with proper drainage, and the ridges serve as seedbeds.

Residue Management: Some disc ridgers come equipped with features for managing crop residues by cutting and incorporating them into the soil.

Crop Maintenance: Throughout the growing season, farmers may use the ridges to cultivate and hill the crops, providing additional soil for root development.
