Product Description
Marden Industries Middle-Buster Bedding Plow | Model SL153 | Bed Width 60" | 125–150 HP | For Skidders & Tractors
DESCRIPTION
The Marden Industries SL153 3-Arm Middle-Buster Bedding Plow is a heavy-duty tillage solution engineered for the upper coastal plains, where hard pan soil and demanding field conditions require dependable soil penetration. With an approximately 60" bed width, the SL153 provides efficient center tillage for creating and maintaining productive planting beds. Its three individual arms deliver controlled soil fracturing, while 40" arm travel helps accommodate challenging terrain and varying soil conditions. Designed for 125–150 HP skidders, this bedding plow can fracture hard pan soil up to 10" deep, making it a practical choice for forestry, land preparation, and agricultural applications. Built for demanding operators, the SL153 Middle-Buster Plow combines working width, deep soil penetration, and rugged multi-arm performance to improve soil preparation efficiency.
Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Middle-Buster Design The SL153 is engineered as a rugged 3-arm middle-buster plow for demanding soil preparation, bedding, and center-tillage applications in challenging field conditions.
- 60" Approximate Bed Width An approximately 60" working bed width helps operators efficiently prepare soil while supporting consistent bed formation across upper coastal plains applications.
- Three Individual Arms The 3 individual tillage arms provide dedicated soil engagement points, helping fracture compacted ground and promote effective center tillage across the working width.
