I've been fixing up old implements on the farm to pull behind my Fordson Major Diesel (3 bottom plough, 12' field cultivator, 12' spike harrow) but I still need a disc. I have an uncle who says he knows of a 12' tandem disc with hydraulic lift that I could probably buy very cheap. My uncle is a farmer, so he knows way more than I ever will about this stuff, but I was wondering if 12' is too big for the Major or if it will pull it. My land is flat, so hills will not be an issue. The ground is not rocky at all, but it can be quite sticky, so I'm guessing it could pull heavy. It has been tilled and planted every year, so I'm not breaking new ground, just reworking it.
Also, the tractor in question has practically brand new loaded rear tires, rear wheel weights and about 350 lbs of front weights. I'm guessing the total weight is somewhere between 7000 - 7500 lbs.
I haven't looked at the disc yet, but thought I'd get some opinions before I make the trip. Any thoughts?
