Disc with a BX2200

Bowhunter · Mar 28, 2006

Hi all, it is time for a "project progress update".

I finished modifying my disc over the weekend by lowering the lift pins and giving it a new paint job. This first pic is the disc as I bought it. It is a Wallace Mfg. disc….45” tandem gang. In stock condition my tractor would only lift the front row of disc blades 4” off the ground. That didn’t work for loading and unloading from the trailer.

The next two pictures show my tractor/disc combo next to my truck to give you a reference and so you can see just how small it is. Small equipment doesn’t do the best job for ground work, but hey it what I got, and it beats the heck out of a garden hoe. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

The last two pics are close ups of the setup, so you can see how I lowered the lift pins, and see the pretty new paint job. Now the real test is next……to see if my turf tires will pull the disc when it starts to cut or if they will sit and spin. I’ll let you know when I find out.

I would love to see how "little" this breaks up the ground. I have a tiller, but want to just rough up the top a bit before and after planting grass seed. I am also getting some cow manure delivered and need to mix this up some.

LMBO, I knew I'd get a comment or two about that. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif All I can say is that I got a great deal on them, and I have paint. They'll be bright orange before long. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I'm guessing one or two passes with no weight added might give the result you're looking for. I'm expecting that I'll need to make multiple passes with weight added to the disc to get a good seed bed for my food plots. I will post pics of the "attempt" to disc.

Where in IN are you from? If not far, you can borrow the disc if you see that it would work for you.
