Pull Disk in sandy soil

[Robert More]

That disk should work well for your tractor, I would prefer smooth disks front and rear for sandy soil. Notched in front and smooth in rear is okay too. 9" blade spacing is what I prefer. If it were me I would prefer an 8' pull type with 22" blades on 9" spacings with scrapers. Tuffline makes a nice disk, you should be good to go.

Yes I thing I'm going to go all smooth front and rear like you say.
curious why you like 22" blades ?
I was thinking I didn't need a scraper kit in are sandy soil here.

22" blades are usually a bit thicker and stronger than 20" blades. Will you be disking in growth other than grass? Any sticks, or stocks of any kind? If you are going to need to disk vegetation other than grass, I would recommend that you get serrated blades at least on the front. The serrated blades tend to go up and over material vs just pushing it along in front of the disk.

Just my experience.

I prefer the 22" blades for the extra depth and blade weight, simply get more done in less time. I also prefer to have about 90 to 100 lbs. per blade weight.

You may not need scrapers but it seems every time I have used a disk I needed them. The Frontier 1508 (?) pull disk is a good example to look at, it is made by Tuffline for Frontier according to my dealer. You can likely get it from Tuffline for a little less than Deere. .
