For many years Kello-Bilt has been working hard to perfect a disc that combines performance with durability. Their products include unique technologies which enable them to acheive these goals.

The oil-bath system features back-to-back tapered roller bearings operating in 90W gear oil and sealed with Duo-Cone™ seals. The gang shaft is slipped through the bore of the interior axle (yellow). Bearings and seals are mounted on the interior axle (yellow) and neither the bearings nor seals are in direct contact with the gang shaft.

Half spools (red) are pressed onto either end of the interior axle. The half spools bottom out against the ends of the interior axle and, therefore, the interior axle carries the compression forces when the gang is tightened.

Pressure against the half spools is transmitted to the seal retainers (white) and thereby to the Duo-Cone™ seals.  Bearing pre-load is set through the use of gaskets between the bolt-on end cap (green) and the housing (blue).

Moldboard style scrapers fabricated from 1/2" X 4" flat bar with a replaceable profiled blade for Models designated 225 and 275. Fastened to 2" X 2" square steel tube scraper bar with two 1/2" plated grade 5 u-bolts to allow lateral adjustment. Scraper bar is offset from and welded to gang bar. Simple yet rugged design provides longevity and effective cleaning.

The gang bar is often the least appreciated weldment on a disc. The gang bar is the foundation for the essential working components of the implement. A Kello-Bilt gang bar is fabricated as a single weldment.

The bearing standards are welded to the main beam and reinforced with heavy strap gussets. There are no U-bolts to stretch and loosen – with the inevitable result of loose disc assemblies and bearing failures. The scraper bars are welded to the main beam, thereby providing solid support for heavy aggressive moldboard scrapers and contributing to the overall rigidity of the weldment.

A bolt together gang bar benefits the manufacturer by simplifying the processes of fabrication and shipping but cheats the farmer by reducing durability and increasing maintenance costs. When completely assembled, the Kello-Bilt gang bar and disc assembly is unmatched in durability due in large part to this key weldment.
