In another thread, I mention that I would like to disc vine rows with a small compact (NH TC15). My ideal working with for the disc is 54".
Most manufacturers make their tandem discs in either 48" or 60" working widths. I have found one make/model, however, in a 54" width, but it is an offset disc. It weighs about 500 pounds. I'm told that offets tend to pull the tractor to one side. Will I find the pull of this particular offset unit difficult to manage with a small tractor in a narrow vine row? If I can arrange it, I will certainly try out the offset before I commit to buying it.
Mfall back is a 48" tandem, but that will require multiple passes down many of the rows to get things just right. It's a 10 acre site right now, so the difference between being able to make a single pass, and having to go over the same ground again, is rather substantial.
