How the New High-Speed Disks Can Improve Your Operation

Improved Residue Flow and Field Finish

The highlight that has everyone talking is the HSD’s newly optimized residue flow, delivering a cleaner, more consistent field finish. Deere achieved this breakthrough by extending the gap between the disk and finishing basket by an additional 4 inches compared to previous models. This design upgrade significantly reduces the risk of plugging, even in challenging conditions like high moisture or heavy residue. Plus, with the ability to operate at speeds of up to 14 mph, farmers can cover more acres in less time during tight weather windows.

Save Time on Installation with Autonomy Ready In-base

The new high-speed disks have eliminated the difficult installation process many farmers have faced with autonomous operation. The disks come autonomy ready, equipped from the factory with a receiver mast, harnessing, lighting package and TruSet™ — all you need is a universal StarFire® 7500 Receiver to hook it to an autonomous tractor to implement autonomous tillage.

Enhanced Reliability

You can count on these disks to get you through multiple seasons without any trouble. The new series comes with increased frame strength and a three-year frame warranty, providing farmers with improved reliability and peace of mind. John Deere listened to customers when they suggested changing the pivot bushings to a bolt-on format for easier maintenance. These heavy-duty cast pivot bushings now feature 50% more surface area, are securely bolted on, and are sealed against debris for an extended lifespan. Additionally, 7-inch tubing helps minimize wing bounce, further strengthening the frame and ensuring a smoother, more consistent performance in the field.

Adaptable Widths For All Kinds of Fields

No matter the scale of your operation, John Deere’s high-speed disks offer the flexibility to match your needs. Available in widths ranging from 25’ to 45’, these disks are designed to handle fields of all sizes. For farmers navigating narrow roads and tight pathways, Deere offers four compact, foldable models—the HSD25, HSD29, HSD32, and HSD35—all featuring an industry-leading 13-foot transport width for easy mobility. Those requiring larger equipment can choose from the HSD39, HSD42, and HSD45, which maintain a standard 16-foot transport width while delivering substantial productivity in the field.

This innovative new tillage tool is set to be a game-changer for field preparation. Contact your local American Implement for more information on how you can add these high-speed disks to your fleet and make tillage a piece of cake.
