My Monroe Tufline TH971820 cost me $2,428 delivered (no sales tax in Florida on ag equipment.) in February 2015. It weighs 915 pounds, 46 pounds per pan. It has 3" X 3" frame.

All the TL43 series are Cat 1/2, so they are engineered to be pulled by up to 100-horsepower tractors.

Equivalent Tufline TL439711820 weighs 1,189 pounds, 59 pounds per pan. It has 4" X 3" frame and likely thicker pans.


The TL4392020 is a bit wider, at 8', has all 9" spacing and weighs 1,318 pounds. I am sure it went for every bit of $3,000 new, likely more today.

TL4392020 does not have lever adjust of gang angles but at 1,318 pounds (66 pounds per pan) quick adjust may be superfluous.

Tufline recommends 45-horsepower minimum with 4-WD and from my experience with my 18/20", Tufline means MINIMUM. The tractor would have to be 6,500 pounds too.

Personally, I would consider TL4392020 a better value @ $2,500 than the W8 in Post #1 @ $500, if OP HAS ENOUGH TRACTOR.

Just about anything would be a better deal than the W8. It'a an old, worn out disc with little to no adjustability.

I need to update my profile. I have a LS U5030 which is 55 hp. Its 5800 lbs before I had them add fluid to the rear tires. Would that be enough for the Tufline TL4392020? I know its 8' wide and like Jeff said, weighs about 1300 lbs.

Tufline recommends 45-horsepower minimum; you have 55-horsepower plus a heavy frame tractor and loaded tires. In my opinion the Tufline TL4392020 and your LS 5030 would be an excellent match.
