The single disc seed coulters penetrate the soil with high pressure which results in an exact seed depth even at high working speeds. This puts the Vaderstad Rapid Bearings under heavy loads but due to the agricultural angular contact bearing design the bearings are able to withstand the forces and loads required whilst being backed up by nilos ring sealing to ensure longevity of the bearings irrespective of the soil type.

Because of the working angle of the discs on the Vaderstad Rapid, a really fine soil is produced closed to the seed which is so crucial for germination.

The Vaderstad Rapid utilizes a cast bearing housing with an angular contact bearing insert with a nilos ring and v-seal to help protect the bearing. The OEM part number of the bearing is Vaderstad 420832. The direct link to the bearing for the Vaderstad Rapid can be found here :
