Best disk harrows?

[Mitigator33]

If Money was not an issue and you could buy any set of disk harrows you wanted what would you buy given the following parameters?

I run an 83hp tractor John Deere 5083E

Must be at least 8 ft in width or greater

Must be portable (can be put on a trailer and moved to multiple sights)

Easy to adjust gangs

Heavy (I want it to do work not just scratch the surface)

Well built and easy to work on for maintenance

The primary use-Food plots for wildlife as well as pasture maintenance and creation of seed bed for pasture

Implements I already own:
Box blade 8ft
Rake
5 disc 3point plow
Cultipacker
Bush Hog
Old cheap disc that are way too light for my current use and too small for my tractor
FEL
Pallet Forks

I will turn my plots every 2-4 years with the plow but for maintenance/cutting fire breaks/seed bed prep I need a good set of disk. I am not a JD nut to the point that I care what color my implements are I just want a good one. I can't run a tiller due to the amount of roots and rocks in my soil.

I am leaning toward Brown Manufacturing because of the weight and ease of adjusting the gangs. Any others I should look at? Thank you in advance.

I like my farm king. It was about 2800. I added a few hundred lbs to it. 8 and a half foot. Land pride has some nice stuff

Either Monroe Tuffline like Ken posted or Athens Athens Plow - Model 62 Pull-Type Tandem Disk Harrow

Frontier 1386, Atlas 1500 and check the Athens site. They have some 3PT units that get pretty heavy.

I was looking for one last year for my JD 5303 and wound up buying a used Long brand unit with 4" frame and rebuilt it. Figure I got about 1/3 to 1/2 price of new comparable unit.

Amco, the F17 here on the farm is built like tank. They also make a 9' 3 point that weighs 2400lbs.

Thanks to all. I have several of these dealers close to me and will check them out. The Atlas is made right here in Alabama and I always like to keep it local if I can. Does anyone know if the Atlas has a quick gang adjustment?

Question on the frontier that was mentioned...it states that it is for up to 75 HP tractor max. Mine is an 83hp. Is this an issue?

Mitigator, I too live in Bama. I have a 70hp kubota and Lowery mfg out of Boaz makes a heavy duty disc that I bought this year. I would check them out. Just google "lowery mfg". Well priced, too.

I have your tractor and pull a 8 ft athens offset with 24" disks. It will definitely do work, but not so good as a finisher. Then I have a 12' Krause that finishes well but is way too light for primary tillage and is weighted down with railroad rails. I want a 10' Athens with 22" disks that weighs about 150# per disk.
