Question regarding disc harrow.

   / Question regarding disc harrow. #11  
Hey folks,

Found a nice disc harrow on Craigslist for what seems a solid price, and I'm thinking I want it. That said, it's a 7' disc, would that be too much for my Kioti CK2610?

I'd love to hear some opinions thrown out here, before I go tossing more money around.

That's a light disc, with a Tuffline price. Don't pay that price for it. Tell them folks it's a cheap, light disc. It should have a cheap light price to go with it. Lightest disc I've ever seen. You can get a good used square tubing adjustable one for that price.

I have an EA 66” and it’s pretty light (580 lbs). I paid $1,500 for it new last year from neighbor that never uncrated it. It works good to run over grass before tilling. It also works good to disc in leaves in farm field. I’m going to add more weight someday. It needs some heft to it to penetrate the grass and ground. If the blades turn freely and the shaft is ok you can probably beef it up a little if needed.

Mines too narrow for my tractor but it was available.

Here’s a post to mine in action

After doing a little reading, mulling it around, this disc wouldn't cut it with the clay soil I've got.

I appreciate everyone's input, I'm definitely going to keep looking as it's not a pressing need.

I bought - brand new - a Land Pride DH 1048. Back when I was still learning. It was NOT cheap but it is light. Total weight - 421#. 35# per disk. It IS NOT worth the time to hook up nor the fuel to pull it.

Fortunately - I found I have little use for a disk harrow. In particular - one that does nothing but roll along behind the tractor and leave nary a mark. This time of year and on into fall - my land becomes dry and hard as concrete.

If you are serious about a DH - look for one that is 45# to 50# per disk. This will do some real work for you.

I have a 400# cast chunk of concrete with a centrally located lifting loop. I can put this on the disk and bring the individual loaded disk weight to around 70# or a total weight of around 820#. The problem is - the frame is not designed to handle this added weight and it would soon be damaged.

A DH with individual loaded disk weight of around 45#, or more, and with full adjust-ability is what you want to be looking for.

That certainly looks like a stout implement, a far cry from the one I linked to.

@oosik 40-50 lbs per disc? I'll keep that in mind, along with the importance of adjustability.
