8-bar round basket in 1″ DOM (drawn-over-mandrel) tube, 12″ diameter — the same diameter as the stock flat or round bar on VT Kuhn Krause machines, upgraded to round bar for the strength flat bar doesn’t have. Available up to 71″.
A rolling basket’s job is to compact the ground behind your tillage pass and leave a proper seedbed. Leveling and breaking up remaining clumps are added benefits as it rolls.
We build every basket on round bar, not flat. Round bar (1″ DOM — drawn-over-mandrel — tubing) has strength in every direction and enough elasticity to flex back into shape. A flat bar has no side strength: once a rock wedges between the bars and spreads them, it stays wedged, rattles, and eventually breaks the welds.
This is the 8-bar version, which keeps the diameter at 12″ — the same as the stock flat or round bar it replaces on VT Kuhn Krause machines. The upgrade here is the bar itself, not the size: round bar in place of flat, for the rock resistance flat bar doesn’t have. We keep bar spacing at roughly 4″ across all our basket sizes, so an 8-bar cage covers a 12″ diameter at that spacing. If you want more down-pressure than the stock diameter gives you, we also carry a 9-Bar Rolling Basket at 13.5″ diameter for the same fitment.
We build this fitment up to 71″.
Keep operating speed under 9.5 mph. Speed is the single biggest factor in how long a basket lasts — running faster wears them out well ahead of schedule. On shipping: 43″ ships standard parcel; 57″ and longer ships via freight carrier and we’ll coordinate a delivery appointment.
In stock and ships fast from our Wisconsin warehouse — less time waiting on parts, more time in the field.

It’s for compaction — that’s the main job, building a proper seedbed behind your tillage pass. Leveling and breaking up leftover clumps is a secondary benefit, not the main one.
Round bar has strength in every direction, so a rock wedged between the bars can’t spread them the way it can on a flat bar. Flat bar has no side strength — once it starts to warp, it stays warped, rattles, and breaks welds.
12″ matches the stock diameter on most VT Kuhn Krause machines — this basket’s upgrade is the round bar, not extra diameter. If you want more down-pressure, our 9-Bar Rolling Basket steps up to 13.5″ for the same fitment.
43″ ships standard parcel. 57″ and longer ships via freight carrier, and we’ll coordinate a delivery appointment with you.
Stay under 9.5 mph. Speed does more to shorten a basket’s life than anything else — that range (roughly 7.5–9.5 mph) is what vertical tillage machines are typically built for.
