The rock was close as I could get it to the front center of the disc, it was big and flat and covered most top frame area of the disc. This one is a replica of a 5' king kutter model, if not one of them. Oh yeah, if I could move the rock closer to the 3pt arms it would of been, fine. It barely took any of my strength to pull up on the back frame of the disc to give the implement a little more distance between the ground for travel. Like I mentioned above it definitely picks it up, but only 1-2 inches off the ground. This is at level 6 on the 3pt control lever, but any higher on the lever and you hear the pump start to whine and it doesn't lift no more. So I just left it at level 6.

That also came across my mind, just dump the rock for travel and then go and get it when needed, then strap her back down. Only problem is that I was helping my father on his farm, 80 miles away for the weekend; and he doesn't have a FEL for his two Massey Ferguson Tractors MF135, MF2135. So we both thought we should just leave it on, in case he needed to use it. Of course, I don't think his tractors would even budge that disc off the ground with that rock on it, but I didn't tell him that. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
