Designed for demanding soil conditions
The Wishek 842N is a robust and reliable offset disc choice for farmers seeking a durable and low-maintenance solution. With approximately 1,000 lbs/ft of implement, the offset disc can penetrate even the toughest soil conditions, ensuring efficient tillage.
Flexibility in the field​
The Wishek 842N offers great flexibility for accessing tight corners and other difficult areas of small and irregularly shaped fields.
Residue management​
Large concave discs on the Wishek 842N mix residue with soil to help promote fast decomposition for a cleaner seedbed in the spring.
Soil profile management​
The Wishek 842N offers excellent soil mixing capabilities to help create better tilth in heavy soils.
Excellent agronomic performance
A post-harvest tillage pass can be crucial for creating a better seedbed in the spring and laying the groundwork for operational performance throughout the year. Provide your crop with the best opportunity for success while simultaneously reducing risks.

Flexibility for small and irregular fields
Achieving consistent tillage results in small and irregularly shaped fields can be difficult with larger discs. The Wishek 842N offers greater flexibility and efficiency for accessing corners and other tight areas within fields. It helps operators create a more consistent soil profile throughout the entire field to promote even emergence.
-
Incorporate residue for fast breakdown
When residue is thoroughly incorporated, soil microbes can break it down faster. A fall tillage pass with the Wishek 842N can mix residue with soil to start the decomposition process. This helps to create a cleaner seedbed in the spring, ensuring that residue doesn’t interfere with planting or emergence.

Creating finer tilth in heavy soils
The Wishek 842N is heavy enough to penetrate some of the toughest ground. Its large concave discs break up and mix the upper soil profile to help create better tilth in harder conditions. It produces larger clod sizes that help to catch moisture and resist wind erosion over the winter. In the spring, the field can be worked easily with a secondary tillage pass to create an ideal seedbed.
Long-lasting performance and ease of use
The Wishek 842N Offset Disc is designed to deliver optimal performance and ease of use. With specialized scrapers to prevent mud build-up and convenient leveling options, this machine ensures smooth and efficient operation even in challenging conditions. Multiple disc options allow farmers to tailor the equipment to their specific needs, enhancing precision and efficiency in the field. The feathering discs help create an even soil profile and the durable tubular frame and impact-resistant spring-cushioned gangs further ensure long-lasting performance and reliability.
Enhanced performance with specialized scrapers
Equipped with specialized scrapers for the discs, bearings, and spools, the Wishek 842N optimizes performance by keeping the gangs free of mud build-up, ensuring smooth operation in various conditions.
Convenient leveling options
Leveling the Wishek 842N front-to-back can be done manually with leveling screws or hydraulically from the cab. This ease of adjustment enhances operational efficiency and comfort.
Customization and precision for optimal results
The Wishek 842N offers a range of features that allow farmers to tailor the equipment to their specific needs, ensuring precision and efficiency in the field. Feathering discs and multiple disc options provide the flexibility required for various soil types and conditions.
Feathering discs for an even soil profile
Rear feathering discs on the Wishek 842N help create an even soil profile by removing ridges left by the front gangs, essential for preparing a smooth seedbed.
Multiple disc options
Farmers can choose from 28 - 30 in diameter smooth or notched discs on the Wishek 842N, tailored to their specific needs. This flexibility ensures optimal performance for different soil types and conditions.
Impact-resistant spring-cushioned gangs
When striking a solid object, such as a rock, the spring-cushioned gangs on the Wishek 842N allow the discs to travel in an arc of 6 in rearward and 6 in upward. This design prevents damage and maintains the integrity of the equipment.
Single-point depth control
The optional single-point depth control on the Wishek 842N allows the operating depth of the entire disc to be adjusted with a single setting. This feature provides precise adjustment, making it simple, safe, and efficient to achieve the desired tillage depth.
Versatile rear hitch
A rear hitch on the Wishek 842N enables the towing of finishing tools or other implements behind the disc. Hydraulic and electronic extension packages are available, providing versatile articulation of towed equipment.
Durable tubular frame
The 4 x 8 x 3/8 in tubular welded frame of the Wishek 842N offers rugged durability and the necessary weight to penetrate tough ground, ensuring long-lasting performance.
Product concept
Loosening and mixing
Wishek discs offer exceptionally large blades, available in 28 in and 30 in sizes, providing high clearance and deep cultivation. These discs are powerful tools with great durability, thanks to their spring cushion as a standard feature. You can choose between smooth or notched blades, depending on your specific needs.
