2025 John Deere HSD42 High Performance Disk

Wide range of working widths available to match acreage and power requirements

The HSD Series gives operators the ability to cover acres quickly, increasing their productivity. This two-season tool can operate up to 22.5 km/h (14 mph) in field.

This tool is available in seven configurations from 7.70 m to 13.79 m (25 ft to 45 ft). The HSD Series requires 34.25 kW/m (15 hp/ft), but in certain hilly, soft, or wet conditions it may require an additional 25 percent engine horsepower to maintain operating speeds at preferred working depth.

*NOTE: Minimum overlap of 15.2 cm (6 in.).

Individually mounted blades

The 2680H High-Performance Disk features individually mounted blades. These blades, supported by rubber torsion elements, can travel up to 22.9 cm (9 in.) while passing over an obstruction, like a rock. This allows the rest of the tool to remain engaged and continue working, allowing for better ground contour.

Keep the tool engaged while passing over obstructions

Blades are also easy to replace. Rather than having to remove an entire gang, just replace an individual blade.

Improved reliability

Overview
The HSD Series features a new cast pivot design, as well as an increased frame tube size. This results in the field finish and residue management you’re used to, now backed by a three-year frame warranty.

Benefits

• Three-year warranty on frame components
• Larger, individually serviceable cast pivot joints at hitch, wing, and rear attachment frames increase uptime
  • Bushing can be serviced by removing 12 bolts and replacing pivot bushing
• Larger frame tubes increase life of frame and weight per blade
