New Style Disc Hub

• Probably the most important update on the new SB2019 is the new style disc hub and long life single bearing.
• Moving away from our previous greasable double bearing that required pre-loading, the new style has done away with all of that.
• No Greasing! No Pre-loading! Longer lifetime!
• And the best bit – it will fit previous models of Baldan units too (SB2013 & SB2016)

Large 20" Disc

• There are a few reasons why Serafin’s moved away from the original 18″ disc blade that was offered on the first Baldan single disc.
• Firstly we saw an immediate 30-40% longer life than compared to the 18″ disc.
• We also found that since it has a slower turning speed it aids with better penetration and better trash cutting that leads to less hair pinning.
• Finally it has proven to hold its edge longer too.    

Top Pivot Bearings

• Hardened bushes and Pins are an unnecessary wearing part on some disc openers. Not only is it costly to repair but it also effects row spacing and seed placement.
• The SB2019 has extreme life, very fine needle roller bearings in our top pivot. They are non-greasable and do not require regular maintenance.
• It also ensures the unit stays where it is supposed to so you know that you will get the best seed placement, consistently.

Super Strong Casting

• Baldan has always built a strong, simple casting. We have only made a few minor changes to the casting itself over the time.
• Weighing in at almost 100kg, the row unit strength is formed around the main casting.
• The extra weight of these openers help with ensuring that the seeder has more weight per disc than most of our competitors. This relates back to better penetration and a better sowing job when its dry.

Replaceable mud scrapers

• Attached to the seedboot by two screws, the mudscraper is fully adjustable so that as it wears you are able to easily and quickly move the scraper back into position without moving the seedboot and compromising seed placement.
• And when its time to replace the scraper, its only a fraction of the cost of what it would cost to replace the entire seedboot/scraper assembly like on some units.

Improved Seed boot

• Improved seed placement has been at the forefront of our minds ever since we started working on the Baldan openers.
• The new SB2019 has a new improved seedboot which is really only a fine – tuned version of the previous model.
• By changing the internal casting to improve seed flow, we have seen an improvement in consistency of seed placement from the opener.

Simple Depth Adjustment

• No tools required. Just simply lift up the button on top of the depth adjuster handle, pivot the handle back and forth into the depth slot you wish to sow with and release the button. It is really that simple!
• Each notch in the casting is an approximate 1/2″ increment in seeding depth, starting at 1/2″ or 15mm deep.
• A single grease nipple on each adjuster handle keeps the pin lubricated and the addition of the grease track into the adjust pin has ensured that the grease gets to where its needed.

Open Depth Gauge Wheel

• The SB range of disc openers have always ran an open gauge wheel and why change it if it works!
• By having the open design allows for any dirt or mud that may get trapped between the disc and wheel to escape, ensuring that the wheel can keep turning.
• Strong yet small in diameter the spokes not only look good but do a great job at keeping the unit clean and working.

Low Maintenance

• Boosting a service interval of 200hr, the new SB2019 row unit is one of the lowest maintenance units on the market.
• Couple that with a larger disc that gets more Ha before it needs to be changed, you have a disc unit that keeps you in the paddock longer.
• And features like the replaceable mud scraper and needle roller bearings means that it is cheaper to run too!
