Here it is: You count the number of blades on the front gang. Multiply that times the disk blade spacing. Then add the disk blade spacing one more time. That is the true cutting width. So a 18 blade disk with a 7 inch spacing would be 18 x 7 = 126 inches Plus 7 = 133 inches 133 divided by 12 = 11.08 so it would be called an 11 foot disk. [Reply]   [No Email]

However, I am still confused: Two gangs at 9 blades each would have 18 blades but only 16 spaces; resulting in 112". Adding another 7" results in 119" or about 10 feet. This formula does not account for any space between the two gangs however that is probably a moot point. My confusion is more concerning the logic of the method.   [Reply]  [No Email]

(A) TOTAL QUQNTITY FOR 3.8 M (12'7") SIZE IS 44. (A) TOTAL QUANTITY FOR 4.2 M (13'9") SIZE IS 48. This is spacer between disk AN183748 SPOOL, PLAIN-WELDED (7 1/4")   [Reply]  [No Email]
