From what i gathered for every 15-20ft of disc you need 100hp.Biggest ive seen is 39'.Average large disc is 20-30ft.Why do farmer have 300+hp tractgors pu lling 30ft disc harrows ?Wouldnt the big case ih 335 magnum and steiger tractors pull a 60 ft disc harrow ? Now i know some famrer have feilds spread out and have to travel down the roads .But you could just tow one behind the other.When you get to the feild hook them sxs .I was thinking of hooking 5 International m37 disc together to get a 50 ft disc but they come in to many variable size's.but still connect 2 big plows or a bunch of smaller ones.See a bunch of used 30 & 20 ft disc from the 70's and 80's for around 5k and under .just thought to my self that a 30 ft disc is small for a 300+ hp tractor .I havnt seen any company that makes a 50ft or larger disc harrow . Also just throwing this out there the big bud tractor with over a 1000 hp wouldnt that pull a 120 ft disc.I thought most mid west or plains farm were self contained so to speak
