New Brown Disk Harrow

[sawtooth]

Just tried it out and man does it cut deep. Sucker is very heavy and all my Ford 3910 would want. Really built well and leaves a smooth bed of dirt behind her too.

Looks like you are having fun.

 

[sawtooth]

Yeah any day on a tractor makes me smile.

what are you planning on planting there?

Looks good. I wounder why the outer back disk is not notched like the rest of them.

Its only a furrow filler so not designed for cutting just leveling ground. Good question though as i asked same thing originally.

Food plots for deer. Gonna be a mix of some sort.

Looks good Sawtooth. Which model is that? Any specific reason you went with Brown over others?

Originally i was going with Tuffline but they seem to be over priced for what you get. They have a big name but at least in my area they cost several hundred more to get same weight, duty strength etc. They do offer ALOT of different models though where Brown only manufactures very heavy duty stuff. Even their rotary cutters are beast of machines. For example if you look at Rhino cutters and their super heavy duty line they use CAT 5 drive lines and CAT 4 in their heavy duty line. Brown on the other hand uses CAT 8 on their super duty and CAT 5 on their medium or their standard duty model. This is a huge different. Decks are thicker too as most competitors use 10 gauge where they use 7 gauge. They just focus on really overbuilt stuff. Its a family owned business and been around along time.

Another thing that is nice about this disk is the new hitch design. This design (when using top hole) allows the rear gang to be lifted very high. This is a very nice feature if you need to remove from a high angled trailer or traverse a deep ditch etc and need to keep the rear gang from dragging or digging into stuff.

Hey man, What model is that Brown Harrow, I am looking into getting one!

 

[sawtooth]

I dont have the model number in front of me but its 6ft wide and has 20" disk. Also has the ridge cutters on the back gangs. Its a beast of a harrow.

AHHHH -
I've looked at the Brown 615 cutter and an 8 foot offset disk harrow until my eyes go blurry. But, no Brown dealers in my area and the freight is a killer. There is no doubt, IMO,that a Brown cutter is one of the heaviest in its class.

 

[WOODSTOCK ROY]

How well does your 3910 handle that plow? Do you think it could pull the 7.5 foot model (BDH-750-2020).
Do those furrow fillers fill in that outside trench pretty good- seems like a great idea.

 

[sawtooth]

The 3910 does very well with it but I did need weights on the front or wheel weights to keep front end down on hills etc. A 7.5' should work too and your 3930 has a heavier front end. A lot depends on soil type and depth your disking. If your 3930 is a 98 or 99 model then it has 52 pto hp which helps even more.

 

[WOODSTOCK ROY]

Thanks for that information! The only reason I am interested in the 7.5ft is because the rear wheels on my 3930 are 6.5ft wide and I wonder about the width of the 6ft 4" Harrow being a little too narrow. The Harrow I have now is 7ft wide and looks to be the right width but the discs are worn down and it has recently spit out a bearing.

 

[sawtooth]

The 6'4 is fine. It actually covers tracks little wider than that from my experience due to flipping dirt past cut area. Also if you get furrow filler then it spreads dirt even further. I think you could handle the 7.5' too but it will be all the 3930 wants for sure.
