2026 SUNFLOWER 1212-15

SUNFLOWER - 1212-15 - TANDEM DISC HARROWS — LARGE DISC PERFORMANCE FOR TODAY'S SMALLER FARMERS The model 1212 Disc Harrow is Sunflower's tillage answer for America's smaller farmers. It is available in rigid models only and matches tractor horsepower in the range of 110 and lower. With exception of gauge wheels, the 1212 has all of the same outstanding features common to the 1233. It's tough, heavy and capable of performing primary and finish discing operations. Like all discs from Sunflower, the 1212 truly meets the toughest standards, earning the label of America's best built disc. FEATURES • Tractor horsepower requirement range: 5 to 8 horsepower per foot of cut • Built with the same outstanding features common to the larger model 1234 Disc Harrow • C-Flex™ bearing hangers absorb disc gang shock, prolonging bearing and frame life • Capable of performing primary and finish discing operations • Features 335 lb. - 396 lb. per foot of cut • Cutting widths available from 10' to 15' • Safety light kit and SMV sign are standard equipment TRUNNION-MOUNTED BEARINGS Sunflower’s trunnion bearings provide positive alignment and eliminate side-loading of the bearings along with the housing to ensure positive lubrication. The trunnion bearing features triple-lip seals that cannot be damaged by daily greasing. Metal washers protect the seals from being damaged by stocks or material wrapping around the gang shaft. C-FLEX™ BEARING ARMS The C-Flex bearing arms absorb disc gang shock created by stumps, rocks and normal discing, which extends the bearing, spool and disc blade life. They also clear residue better than conventional rigid standards and allow for easy maintenance of the disc gang assembly. Unlike on competitive machines, the scraper bars are mounted to the back of the C-Flex arms, which allow the scrapers to react with the gang and not come into contact with the spools or blades. SELF-LEVELING HITCH Level the disc frame from front to rear with Sunflower’s self-leveling hitch. This positive adjustment maintains a pre-selected setting regardless of the tillage depth. It features heavy-duty compression springs on each side of the pivot to cushion both front and rear gangs, important when crossing ditches or rough terrain. Some disc models offer optional hydraulic adjustment. FRONT-MOUNTED GAUGE WHEELS All flexible Sunflower discs have front-mounted gauge wheels. This important feature prevents the front gangs of the wing frame from gouging, buckling or cutting deeper than the other gangs, promoting a level, ridge- or furrow-free field. The heavy-duty gauge wheels feature a five-bolt hub and 8x10 ply tire. MAINTENANCE-FREE LIFT SYSTEMS Sunflower discs are equipped with maintenance-free lift systems that pivot on space-age UHMW polymer sleeves, eliminating greasing. MAINTENANCE-FREE WING HINGES Maintenance-free wing hinges that utilize the same UHMW technology as the lift systems are used on most models. SPRING-CUSHION GANG ASSEMBLY The entire gang assembly pivots upward when an obstruction is encountered. The heavy coil springs compress, allowing the gang assembly to pass over the obstruction, then expand to return the gangs to their working position. VARIETY OF DISC BLADE DIAMETERS Sunflower offers a variety of disc blade diameters, thickness and spacing allowing operators to choose the best combination for their unique farming operation. All spools, whether precision-machined cast iron or precisely fabricated steel, provide a perfect fit with the disc blade, resulting in smooth, free-turning gangs. High-strength 1 3/4-inch- to 2 1/2-inch-diameter stress-proof gang shafts and factory-assembled gangs are torqued hydraulically to approximately 1,300 pounds. Spring-end collars on each end of the gang are collapsed slightly to make sure it stays tight.
