DISC HARROW

Which disc go in front, plain ones or the notched ones? and why. This is a 16 disc set up, and I would like to sell it

Hmmm....your pics are hard to see. As I have been told / read the notched blades usually are in front (or front and rear) as they cut up trash better. The smooth blades leave a more even finish.

I just bought a disc with notched blades front and back....lots of trash.

I would assume that the ball bearing disc are the better ones. What so the other type have ? Bronze sleeve bearings. Which will hold up better in the dirt?

Hmmm....not too sure about that. Most of the little discs made these days (that I have seen....and the one I bought) have ball bearings. I think they are cheaper to produce. But...the sleeve bearings are probably more durable with a longer life (?) and likely are more forgiving without maintenance. If I had to choose one over the other...all else being equal....I believe I'd take the sleeved bearings. My .002
