Retrofit RYAN NT Double Discs for exceptional Zero-Till Farming results
If you’re considering upgrading your tine machine, the RYAN NT (formerly RFM NT) Retrofit Double Discs are the perfect option.
Our discs are an alternative to buying a new machine, saving heaps of money in the process! And the good news, RYAN NT Double Discs work on just about any machine manufactured in the last 30 years!
Discs are now an integral and preferred part of the best cropping programs. These, coupled with changing cultivation practices, no-till equipment, heavier bars, interrow sowing and reduced livestock trampling all contribute to higher productivity and profitability.
The system includes disc coulters that make light work of stubble and trash in all soil types. This means you can plant early in dry conditions without making a mess; and you won’t get blocked up in the wet.
And farmers find they can plant up to 30% faster than average and are spending a lot less on fuel.
Another big advantage with the RYAN NT Double Disc opener system is soil moisture retention, far more than using a standard tyne point system.
You get superior penetration & cutting with our double discs
Standard disc systems often put the disc coulters side by side causing them to act as a wedge, making it harder to penetrate the soil.
But the RYAN NT Double disc coulters are offset, allowing extra penetration, easier cutting and no hairpinning. This unique system works brilliantly because the lead or driving disc is on the ground, an inch forward of the plain coulter disc.
The plain and serrated coulters mean you get good tilth with enough soil through for chemical incorporation.
The system includes a front seeding boot design, so you avoid blocking and get perfect seed or fertiliser placement directly at the bottom of the trench; also, the spring-loaded scrapers will help alleviate blocking…and the system can double chute.

Change fast from Tynes to Retrofit Double Discs... and back
Quickly turn your conventional tyne planter into a highly versatile disc planter with the revolutionary RYAN NT multipurpose disc system.
Then just as easily convert it back if conditions require it.
The RYAN NT Retrofit Double Disc system easily attaches to existing tine trip assemblies.
It’s as easy as removing the current shank from the tine trip assembly and replacing it with our matching shank…a simple process involving a couple of bolts or a pin.
The bottom line: You don’t need to buy a new machine, rather convert your existing planting tyne trip for dual purpose with the RYAN NT Double Discs.
For even better results, invest in RYAN NT Press Wheels that work in tandem with the revolutionary Double Discs.
More benefits to improve your productivity and profitability.

What our farmers have to say
“We just couldn't be more happy with the result [from switching to RYAN NT Double Discs] in the thick grass country. The germination was fantastic…”

“I found the RYAN discs online and did a bit of research into them… Since converting to the discs it's been great.”
– Phil Giancono of Donnybrook (WA)
Commonly asked questions from our farmers
Yes, they are greaseable Timkin tapered bearing. There are two bearings to each hub with a rubber seal on the inside. The bearings have the grease nipple positioned between them.
On average, you use 50% less horsepower than you would with a tyne machine. However, many factors influence this requirement, such as soil type, machine configuration, application and what you are trying to achieve.
Deep banding tubes are an option. We have achieved separation with them. It all comes down to soil types and speed.
Very minimal. We recommend that you check disc bearing in the first 100 hours and then grease every 100 hours from thereon.
Yes, they can. It comes down to soil types, speed, and conditions.
The lead disc at the front is always the notched disc.
We regularly plant into hard pastures. The results depend on soil types, speed and conditions.
We recommended starting with 3 spaces on each side. We recommend aiming for a 3-6mm gap at the leading edge of the discs for loam to heavy soils and no more than 1mm for sandy soils. The loam to heavy soils will close the gap between the disc coulters.
Yes, you can. We also stock adapters to suit other tyne models.
Yes, they can. It depends on underframe clearance.
