I looked at 2 12' disks I found locally on Craigslist on Saturday with my Father in law and grand father in law. They are wanting a set of hydraulic transport discs to use on the hay fields. There was not any identification on them, but from my research, I believe them to be International Model 37 discs. We have been looking in the 9'-10' range, but haven't had any luck locally and ran across these 12's. Question is, how much tractor would it take to pull these discs? I have no experience with using a disc and they are kind of split on the issue. I have a Zetor 4341 4x4 with FEL and about 60 engine HP and my grand father in law has a 1967 MF275 2WD with around 75 engine HP. Those are our biggest tractors. They are transport type and can be raised if the pulling gets tough, but I don't want to over stress the tractors. We have a couple 5' & 6' "garden" type 3pt disks, but are wanting to get something heavier for the field work, and i just don't know much about using disks. My gut tells me we will be fine, and shouldn't pass up the deal (basically scrap price), but at the same time, I don't need more "stuff" laying around that won't get used either. I should have snapped a couple of pis of them, but walked off with out my phone when heading out to look at them. I've attached some photos of similar discs I found online. Really i think we could cut them down pretty easily if necessary. Any experience or advice is much appreciated? Thanks!
