Disc Harrow Disc harrow adjustment and space

We lease the land so burning is not an option. Have you tired removing every other disc?

I remember the old disc balling up like that. Only happened when working the ground when it was too wet, never when it was dry. I think wet ground is the problem, the grass is just sticking to the wet dirt between the discs.

I'll try again when the parcel dries.

Mr jeff the Diameter is 26 inch

Offset Discs with 26" pans weigh 6,500 pounds on the light side and 8,000 pounds on the heavy side, depending on width.

With 26" pans and 6,500 pound weight you have implement pressure of around 475 pounds on each pan.

The compares to implement pressure of 35 pounds to 80 pounds per pan on Tandem Disc Harrows commonly discussed here. Then you have concrete riding on top.

There is nothing you can do to improve implement performance. You need better field conditions:


1. Wait for the land to dry.

2. Scalp the land with a mower first.

3. Apply herbicide or seek permission to burn. (Hawaii's farmland conditions are very different from continental US farmland conditions. I am not convinced burning will kill what you are dealing with in vegetation.)

4. Use the Offset Disc when field is fairly dry. No mud. Disc adjusted to an aggressive angle, not "flat".

I see nothing about that disc that would indicate 6K lb weight.
