Disk = Harrow? What do you call a disk?

[RobJ]

There's "the definition" and then there's "what everyone calls them". Around here a disc is a disc. A harrow is something you generally drag BEHIND the disc. Call a disc a harrow or a disc harrow and farmers from this area will look at you like you're a bit strange. In fact, you won't find too many older farmers that say "harrow" . Around these parts, it's pronounced "har-ee". But then again, we're all a bunch of hillbillies

There are several for tractors. I've been around tractors all my life, but once poking around here I had to look up what a rotary cutter was? A bushhog. Or a shredder.

I call it a disc. In Mississippi the drag harrow we just called a drag. It had the spikes in the back but in the front it had a metal paddle wheel (picture a boats paddle wheel). I guess this was meant to chop it the opposite way the disc cut it.

Even your term Hillbilly has a different origin. To long to type, read it here..

Those of us who're right proud to be thought of as "hillbillies" know what it means, Wikipedia or no!

PROUD AMERICANS THAT ARE TOTALLY SECURE WITH WHO THEY ARE AND WHERE THEY COME FROM.

Some call us rednecks. That's OK by me too.

I'll be out'n the back 40, disc'n.
