हिप्पो डिस्क — मज़बूत स्टील, टिकाऊ धार।
Hippo® is the registered disc blade brand of Dates Discs Pvt. Ltd., making steel parts in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh since 1945. We manufacture plain, notched, cutaway and plough disc blades from 16″ to 26″ — hardened, tempered and edge-lathed for clean soil penetration, season after season.
Every Hippo disc is pressed to true concavity, heat treated in a controlled furnace and edge-finished on a lathe. Choose a standard size, or send us your drawing or an old disc as a sample.
Smooth-edge discs for general ploughing and secondary tillage in clean, trash-free fields. Even penetration and low draft.
A scalloped edge that grips and slices crop residue, stubble and hard, dry soil. The first choice for trashy and no-till conditions.
Deep scallops for heavy trash, sugarcane and matted root zones — aggressive entry where a plain edge simply rides over the surface.
Heavier gauge, deeper concavity discs for disc ploughs and one-way ploughs working deep in black cotton and hard soils.
Round centre hole with countersunk bolt holes for bolt-on gangs, offset harrows and OEM implement assemblies.

Soil and crop residue change every few hundred kilometres, and the right disc changes with them. This is the advice we give dealers and farmers when they tell us where they are working.
Conditions: Paddy–wheat rotation, combine-harvested, heavy loose stubble on the surface.
What we suggest: Notched 18″–22″ in 5–6 mm on the front gang, plain behind. The notches are what let the gang enter through paddy straw instead of floating on it.
Ask for this region →Conditions: Cane trash, old ratoon roots and green matter between crops.
What we suggest: Cutaway 22″–24″ in 6–7 mm. Deep scallops bite through matted trash that stops a shallow notch dead.
Ask for this region →Conditions: Black cotton soil — sticky when wet, sets like concrete when dry.
What we suggest: Our heaviest build — 24″–26″ at 5 mm, deep concavity. Black cotton punishes a thin, flat disc, so take the largest diameter and the full 5 mm gauge.
Ask for this region →Conditions: Sandy, abrasive soil. Discs die of wear here, not of impact.
What we suggest: Plain discs in the heavier gauge for the diameter. Sand grinds steel away, so section thickness buys you seasons.
Ask for this region →Conditions: Red and laterite soils, often stony; cotton and groundnut residue.
What we suggest: 20″–24″ notched for the residue, in a tempered disc that survives stone strikes rather than a brittle, over-hardened one.
Ask for this region →Working somewhere not listed, or in mixed conditions? Tell us your district and crop on WhatsApp and we will tell you honestly what to fit — including when a cheaper disc is the right answer.
A disc fails for one of three reasons: the wrong steel, uneven hardness, or a bad edge. We control all three in-house, so a Hippo disc holds its edge through the season instead of rolling over after a few acres.
Every batch is checked for hardness and concavity before it is painted and packed — and the batch record is kept, so any dealer complaint can be traced back to the furnace.
Eight controlled steps, from steel sheet to packed disc.
Steel sourced from approved mills, with mill test certificates kept on record.
Circles blanked to exact diameter, then the centre hole and bolt holes are punched.
Blanks are heated and pressed to the specified concavity in a die — a true dish, no wobble.
Controlled furnace hardening, followed by tempering for toughness — not just hardness.
HRC tested batch-wise; concavity and flatness gauged against the master.
The cutting edge is turned on a lathe for a clean, uniform bevel and better penetration.
Shot blasted to remove scale, then painted to resist rust in storage and transit.
Counted, strapped and palletised for transport anywhere in India, or for export.
We are appointing dealers and distributors for agricultural implement spares across India. If you already sell tractor parts, harrow discs, bearings or implements, Hippo adds a brand your customers come back for.
HIPPO® is a registered trademark of Dates Discs Pvt. Ltd. — Regd. No. 1870098, Class 7, in use since 1970. Dealers get genuine, branded, batch-traceable discs — never loose, unmarked stock.
We manufacture harrow and plough disc blades from 16″ (406 mm) to 26″ (660 mm) in 3 mm to 5 mm thickness, with plain, notched and cutaway edges. Special sizes are made against your drawing or a sample disc.
We use hardened and tempered steel, quenched and tempered to a working hardness of 42 HRC so the disc holds its edge instead of rolling over. For a specific application or an OEM requirement, the grade can be matched to your specification — tell us the job and we will advise.
Yes. We dispatch to dealers, implement manufacturers and farmers in Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and the rest of India, and we also export.
Yes — private labelling is available for dealers and implement OEMs who order in regular volumes. Your brand can be stamped or printed on the disc and on the packing.
MOQ depends on the size and edge type. For standard fast-moving sizes we can start small so you can test the quality; custom sizes need a minimum batch. Message us on WhatsApp with the size and quantity for exact terms.
Send a WhatsApp message with your name, firm name, city and state, and the products you currently sell. Our dealer desk will share the price list, territory availability and terms the same working day.
Use notched or cutaway discs on the front gang where there is crop residue, stubble or hard dry soil, because the scallops bite and cut trash. Use plain discs on the rear gang and in clean, worked soil for a smoother finish and lower draft.
No forms, no waiting. Message or call — you reach a person who knows discs.
