I always have to remind myself that these implements are blacksmith type items, not space shuttle parts. Even though I'm the first generation in five on both sides of my family that weren't raised on the farm.
I have to expect a little massaging for a couple reasons. I've left the family white collar business and am trying to start a small business doing rural land tending on a limited budget. Secondly, most of my work has to be done by trailering my JD790 and implement(s) on a trailer to jobsites. I'm thankful that using tractors and implements takes a certain mindset and handyman type skills. That leaves a lot of potential customers who aren't equipped to endure what we do.
I think you're on the right track with adjusting things on that disk to make it more usable including the locking nuts on the adjusting arms instead of locknuts. Sometimes the lower priced equipment comes with small parts that really aren't right for the application but a simple substitution cures a problem.
I can't use the higher priced items like disks because they are built too good. That's right, try to load a Landpride 6.5' disk with 20" disks onto a trailer with ramps behind a 28HP tractor. The implement is too big/tall to transition the angles to load and unload. I just have to buy the cheaper stuff and use some restraint when operating them. KK stuff is pretty good but you may need to blacksmith a little from time to time.
