Has anyone ever heard of a set of discs that are: Cross they are 8'8" wide,red and they are transport type. I am looking to purchase a set of transport type discs and have come across these but I do not know anything about them ?

I'm afraid that's not nearly enough information, though I'm not sure the exact question.

I think he meant "across" as opposed to Cross as in a brand name.

Timber, there's a gillion little discs out there that would meet the description so far. Paint color may not mean much at all due to age and the number of times it may have gotten a coat of whatever was handy at the moment.

Gonna have to find a plate or something like that to nail it down. But, if you're just looking for basic parts you can probably find a lot of those things at the local TSC......

I could be all-wet, but, that thing reminds me of an older International disc from looking at the tongue and disc axle mounts. But, could be completely wrong too.

Nonetheless, judging from the picture it looks pretty decent......what are they asking for it?

Transport disc (aka wheel disc)?

Here's my 13-ft wide Minneapolis Moline KS1300 tandem disc (4 axles arranged in an "X" or cross pattern). It's a wheel disc with a hydraulic cylinder to lift and lower the disc on the two wheels. The hydraulic cylinder was in my shop when this photo was taken

Is this the type of disc you're eyeballing?

Sorry it took so long to post a pic, I hope it works. This is the set of discs I am talking about. They are 8'8" wide X 11' long. Dont have any other info about them. I am looking to purchase these, any info would be great thankyou John

John, That disc is a wheel transport disc that requires a hydraulic cylinder to raise and lower. It looks in good condition from what I can see. I like the sealed bearings and adjustable gang angle. I would not worry too much about the Manufacturer, as most all the wear parts are available aftermarket. If it does not have any major breaks and welds, a disc like that would retail around here for around $750 and add $100 to that if the hydraulic cylinder and hoses come with it. Ken Sweet

The square tube frame and the axle brackets on your disc resembles mine. My disc was made by Krause for Minneapolis Moline.

Ken Sweet is correct--you'll need 50hp to pull your disc.
I pull mine with my Mahindra 5525 (54 hp engine) in dry soil OK--not enough hp to pull it in soft soil even though I've cut the disc down from 13 ft wide to about 10 ft wide (by removing some of the outer pans). My disc must weigh 2500 lb, maybe more.
