I have a Kioti CK30hst. What size disc (width)would be recommended? I have 8 acres that will need some leveling and a garden may be nice as well. I would go tiller but I know there are a bunch of "rich lighter" pine stumps under the surface. What kind of prices are disc currently running?

thx

6.5 foot and they range from 500.00 - well over a grand new depending upon what brand, model...etc.
I pull a 5 footer behind a L2800 that does just fine.

Take a look at the Agri Supply web site and find a device called a "keulavator". Think it comes with 2 discs or can have 2 mounted on it. Even my little 4010 will pull 2 12" discs opposed at 45 degree angles behind it to make raised rows. It would pull them with the both angled the same way to tear up the soil. Trouble is my little tractor would get kicked around a bit with them back there. Yours probably won't.

I made my own rig from the diamond bar from an old M soil ripper. Here's a pic of it. The Keulavator looks similar to this.

Correction. Think those in the picture are my 20" discs.

I have a 6' 9" medium duty I pull behind my MF 1533. It is plenty heavy enough and cuts well, I believe it has 18" discs on it.
