The 1050 Series Offset Disc

Dec 14, 2022    Posted by Brittany Cunningham

Born in the heart of Tasmania, tried, tested and trusted in the harshest of environments. The Delmade 1050 Series Offset Disc is one seriously tough machine. The first of these legends was built in 2001, when Delmade recognised the need for a machine with a high weight-to-disc ratio and ultra-low maintenance. Today Delmade Offset Discs are known across Australia for their extreme reliability.

At Delmade we understand that soil care and preparation is critical to promoting high germination and yield rates, that's why it's important your tillage implement is designed to provide the best seedbed for your crop. Delmade Offset Discs have been specifically designed to take care of your soil and this is what really sets them apart.

A champion crop requires a champion seedbed and a champion seedbed requires a champion finish. The Delmade range of Offset Discs provide a consistent and even finish. It's this finish that will improve yield and germination rates through an increased seed to soil contact, better soil water retention, drainage and a deep cut to eliminate top-level compaction. Make the first cut, the final cut.

Richard Sattler of Barnbougle in Waterhouse reports “We've dealt with Delmade now for quite a few years and it’s just a great story! Great local product. We purchased this disc in Feb 2017 and up till today (2018), we've covered 6700 acres over the different workings of the ground we've been doing. Most of the contractors had Delmade Discs so it was the obvious choice and when we researched it was certainly the best value. It makes life so easy when you haven't got a maintenance problem and you're confident in the machine that it's not going to give in on you.”

Part of the secret of the success of the Delmade Offset Disc is the unique bearing system. Delmade Offset Discs boast an oil bath bearing with duo cone seals (the kind found in heavy duty earthmoving and mining equipment). These bearings are long life and require minimal maintenance. In the words of agricultural contractor Phillip Fish, owner of three Delmade Discs, “We replaced 5 sets of disc plates on the original set of bearings! There’s not a set of discs out there that match them…”.

Delmade Offset Discs are known for their robustness and durability. The ultra-heavy-duty main frame specifically designed to minimise service costs and field downtime is the backbone of the offset. Featuring fully bolted adjustable gang frames, the Gangs are easily adjusted for any application ensuring a ridgeless finish every time.

Tom Shoobridge, Managing Director of Cleveland Pastoral runs his offsets in rock and virgin country. Mr Shoobridge reports “Since the purchases … it has reduced our downtime and maintenance costs. This increased productivity and ease of in the field easy adjustments and trouble-free oil bath bearing design. I would have no hesitation in recommending these products. In the event you require after sales and spare parts support you can always rely on a personal speedy response from the Delmade Team!"

Delmade prides itself in supplying Offset Discs ready for work from day one. Gerald Davis a contractor in North Eastern Tasmania, is the owner of a fleet of Delmade 1050 Series. Gerald says “When the first 1050 arrived, we put it straight to work. We had two shifts and we worked the Disc around the clock 24 hours a day. The only time we stopped was to refuel and change drivers… I’ve never experienced hassle-free ploughing like this before…”

The Delmade 1050 Series Offset Disc is available from 40 plates up and folds to a narrow transport width for easy transport from farm to farm. It also features a heavy-duty scraper system and hydraulic pitch control allowing for easy in-field adjustments.
