A concentrated high-speed rigid hub allows for heavier planters, high-speed planting and seeding devices in multiple and multiple challenging applications such as no-till, high cation exchange capacity (CEC) soils, compact soils, moist soils, high concentrations of stubble and or Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) crops, and cover or green crops with massive structured root systems. The hub is made of one of high strength forging steel and medium carbon cast steel, whereby the hub lessons hub flexing, hub bending, cracking and premature failure. The hub comprises rigid, heavy duty deep bosses or gussets which increase structural strength and maximize the strength of attachment points adapted for either bolts or rivets attachment to a blade or object.
A concentrated high-speed rigid hub (CHRH), the CHRH configured for coupling a coulter blade to an implement via a bearing, the CHRH having an inner hub rim within and concentric with an outer hub rim, each of the inner and outer hub rim concentric about an axis of rotation, an inner hub rim radius and an outer hub rim radius perpendicular to the axis of rotation, the inner hub rim associated with a bearing housing having a depth (d) parallel with the axis of rotation, the outer hub rim having a side wall depth parallel with the axis of rotation, the side wall depth substantially less than the bearing housing depth, the bearing housing configured to receive the bearing;
