I am looking for any help I can get on what size disc to buy. I bought a NH tn60 back in January and have put about 100 hours on it. I have pulled my 6ft disc burried up the the axles in 1st or 2nd gear hi and can pull a 8ft grove disc in 3rd gear hi. I am getting ready to disc some pasture to plant new grass seed and it is about time I buy my own disc instead of borrowing the neighbors. Also any help or recommendations for a bermuda grass that grows well in Florida would be helpfull. There are only about 500 different seeds available and they are all "THE BEST"
Thank you

When I replace mine I will be looking at Monroe Tuffline Folding or one like it. It allows for more weight on one gang by folding the rear gang over the front. There may be others making a disc like this.

I don't know the HP of your tractor or if it is 4wd or not. I have 47 hp, 4wd, and I can pull a 10' tandem with no problems in 4wd. I get quite a bit of wheel slip in 2wd. I have never ran out of power with it.

The tn60 is 57hp at the motor and 46 at the pto. My neighbor has a big JD 12' disc but I know I couldn't pull that. It is also a 2wd shuttle shift 8X8 trans. Any help will be appreciated
