DISK CULTIVATOR

Grégiore-Besson Canada has introduced its new Discotill C hybrid stubble disk cultivator, combining the best working elements of a traditional tandem disk harrow with those of an independent disk stubble harrow.

The Discotill C is a shallow tillage tool (1¼ to 6 in.) ideal for seedbed preparation and fall primary tillage. It works in a wide range of soils and crop residue conditions.

The cultivator features alternated notched/plain disks on the front gangs. With a half-X mounting pattern and adjustable work angle, good penetration is possible in compacted soils. The back of the machine has pair-mounted independent notched disks that have a flat profile to minimize soil projections. The rear disks are protected from impacts with Roll'Choc rubber absorbers. Discotill C is also available with adjustable finishing attachments.

WELDER/GENERATOR

Miller Electric Mfg. Co. introduces the industry's first all-in-one wire welder/generator, the Renegade 180.

Operable using the built-in generator or 230V single-phase wall power, the 180 eliminates the need for a welding generator for in the field and a traditional MIG welder for the shop. It's capable of welding mild steel from 24 gauge to 5/16 in. and produces 5,000 watts peak power for running power tools, etc.

The Renegade 180 comes standard with a 12-ft. welding gun, and an optional Spoolmate 3050 spool gun and extension allow the gun to reach up to 45 ft. Available in either recoil or electric start, the welder can be configured for MIG or FCAW.

Included with the 180 is a 1-lb. spool of flux-cored wire. Other features on the Renegade 180 are a calibrated tension knob, polarity changeover terminals and the ability to use 4- or 8-in. wire spools. There are also a variety of accessories, including a gas cylinder mounting kit, lifting eye and receptacle kits.

STICK ELECTRODE

Hobart Brothers now offers the Hobart 418, a stick electrode that provides excellent arc starts and restarts, produces a virtually spatter-free arc and creates a flat weld bead with a fine rippled finished appearance. The Hobart 418 also features an easily removable slag that in many cases is self-peeling.
When properly used, the Hobart 418 electrode has excellent penetration and a weld puddle that washes into the sidewalls with no undercutting. It can also weld smoothly on moderately dirty or rusty materials.
