New Attachments....help id??

Doc_Bob · May 20, 2006

( Hi - saw an ad in the nickel for farm equipment. Ended up buying a side-by-side disk and a 6 ft 360-degree rotating blade. There is an id plate on the disk which I will attach a picture of. Just curious as I am a newbie to all of this if I got a good deal or if the equipment is good or not. I paid $50 for the disk and $50 for the blade. )

My only concern is if your tractor can actually pull a disc that big!!! That sucker is huge!!

Yes, I was skeptical at first as well. I believe it is a 12 ft disk. We had to load that disk on the trailer by hand and well, couldn't. We had to take a few cotter pins out and seperate the disk in half, then we could lift it just enough to get it on the trailer. I didn't think my tractor would handle it either but for $50 I was going to try. The 790 picked it up like it wasn't even there!! I was amazed. In the dirt you have to be in 4wd but it pulls it just fine. I'm only going to use it for the arena - don't have any other plans for it at this time. It sure does a nice job of working the ground. I am really impressed with my 790 - I absolutely love it!

Tyrell, looks like you got a good deal on the implements.

BUT, I did not get a good deal when I clicked on your Homepage.

All kinds of pop up ads kept coming, I could not get away from them until I logged off and now am back on line to send this.

Please tell me if I did something to start the "stampede" of pop-ups.
Or is that the way your homepage is suppose to work?
