Buying Advice Disc Harrow help

LukeJohnson · Oct 29, 2012

I have a 4 wheel drive MX5100 HST Kubota, and looking for a good disc harrow.

I am curious if anyone has a similar or same tractor with a harrow.

I want a 6.5 ft disc with 20 inch pans, about a 16 pan disc. I like the looks of the Brown the most.

Any ideas are welcomed. Thanks, LJ.

I have a Howse brand, they call it a 7.5'. The disc does well behind my 5010 Mahindra. Howse is made in Ms and I try to support local business if they offer a product to fit my need. I am not familiar with Brown. I would like to know more about them.

Since you are interested in how it looks, here is how the Howse 7.5 looks (slightly modified for CAT 2).

One of our EverythingAttachments 16x20 or 20x20 Xtreme duty harrows would go great behind your Kubota. They have a screw adjustment for the gangs, sealed roller bearings and a heavy duty clevis hitch. We also offer an even heavier 20x20 with both Category1 and 2 hitches. Both models feature an extremely durable design that is as good or better than any 3pt harrow on the market. Check out the product video on our website and you'll agree. Those harrows are made in our facility here in NC and ship free to a commercial business or freight terminal within 1,000 miles of Newton, NC.

Lots of good options out there...
Personally, I would stick with a box framed sealed bearing disc...
I have a Howse 5'-6" model that pulls really nice behind my 1720...
I like the adjustment that Ted has designed in his disc at Everything Attachments...
That is one well made implement...

I have used two behind my mx5000. A leinbach b245 20-18. It pulled it very well, almost too easy. I recently upgraded to a heavy EA 24-20, it cuts amazingly better than the lighter leinbach.

I don't know much about disk harrows but the folks at Everything Attachments are great to do business with. I have purchased a box grader, pallet forks and most recently a root grapple. Well built impliments, good service and free shipping. Works for me!

Thanks for the replies guys.

I have bought a set of forks from Everything Attachments and they are a wonderful company.

I was curious about different harrows out there that some have already chimed in about.

Also I was curious about the power the HST could apply while using the disc. I want to be able to cover my tracks and cut the soil very well.

I also want to be able to carry it through the hunting property woods without having to worry about durability and damage from roots.

I have a 7' disk with 18" blades on my L5740 (6 more HP) and it is not much of a load. I also have a 13' tandem pull type disk with 18" blades weighted down with 2 x 10' long railroad rails plus a couple 3 x 3 x 3/8" angles 10' long. It pretty much sinks the disk into the spools when I get the ground worked up well. It pulls at 4.0 to 4.4 mph.
