replacement discs

[WTA]

I wish!
My dad's got me scared to death of eating fish any more becasue of all the polution in the water. I grew up all over the world because he was a lifer Marine but mostly we spent a lot of time around Memphis when I was a kid. There were a lot of news stories about mutated fish and water warnings when I was a kid so he rarely ever took us fishing. It sucked living in that area because there were so many places to go fishing. Down here there are no fish hardly. So few anyway that I would rather drive 400 miles to go to a good lake or a little farther to the ocean where I know I would catch something. My dad's big pet peeve is nitrogen polutants in the water from fertilizer runoff. The lake in his neighborhood has some monster bass in it but the HOA there says not to eat them because of all the nitrates in the water. How sad.
When my son was still in Diapers he caught a largemouth in that lake that was as long as he was.

If I were going to replace Discs, I would look at Case I-H-International Harvester was the first Company to come out with "Earth Metal" Discs, using a rare Earth Mineral in the Metal making process, and they wear a long time compared to other Discs-other Companies now offer a "Earth Metal" Disc also.

I am a Krause Dealer, and they are now promoting the idea of NOT using cut-out Discs-they used to promote it, reason being that the cut-outs were supposed to not push the trash, but capture and cut it in the cut-outs-after many tests, they realized that the theory wasn't correct, and that it actually shortened the life of the Disc.

So, if you don't like the original Krause Discs, look around-I have personally seen the cheap Discs after rolling, and they have soft spots (they were wavy after rolling)-as they say, you get what you pay for-

Used farm equipment is skyhigh right now, at least in this part of the country.
I just bought an 18 ft disc with fold up wings, it's an IH model 490. Has been sitting out for about 6 yrs but all the discs look fine, bearings are supposedly good but a few of the discs have some wobble in them.
Biggest problem is getting it home, I need a permit from Penn Dot to haul something that wide on 4 lane highways.

Used equipment price doesn't bother me too much. I just bought a nice 2-14 trailer-type trip plow for $350. The kicker is the shipping cost from IL to CA, which is over twice what I paid for the plow. **** $3.50/gal diesel is bitting me in the butt.
