disc harrow weight vs width

[AGGIE00]

If I remember right, you need around 150# per disk and 22" disks for an intermediate plow. I personally would stick with those numbers and size the number of disks to your horsepower. I have a lightweight krause with 18" disks that weighs right at 100lbs per disk and it is basically a garden plow and only good for sand, but even then not so much if it has grass.

If I get a ripper it will probably be a Rome mfg. Their located about 3hrs north of me .
Down here in southern Ga/north Florida you either have really sandy soft soil or hard clay. Each feild can be different between those 2. I would say the clay soil around here is encountered when you start farming close to rivers. But most people don't farm waterfront property either lol. Trying to decide what to grow to. I have a uncle who has been farming for awhile. He says grow peanuts or corn because its easy to sell and the market is already there you wouldn't have to find customers like if I grew blueberries or other produce etc

pjbci is right you can't really compare the two. The operation here has an 10'6" Amco F-17 Disc Harrow for heavy ground breaking and a 14' CaseIH 475 Finish Disc Harrow. The Amco has about 300 lbs. per cutting foot, the Amco works really well in the red clay here in NC. The Rome company you speak of has some nice looking equipment.
