That would be a pretty good undertaking! It could be done. I buy the used wheel type 13 ft Allis Chalmers wing disc pretty cheap and then just remove the 4 wings and you have a nice 7-8 ft wheel disc left and plenty of spart parts for later. Ken Sweet

 

[Goodluck w/ That]

Probaly wouldn't be hard to cut the frame down but if you remove disk blades you will need to cut the axle down & rethread the end, plus see if you can move where the bearings attach to the frame. I would find a smaller disk, sounds like more work than I would want to tackle.

Here's my Minneapolis Moline KA1300 wheel disc ($600 from my Mahindra dealer). It's nominally 13ft wide and it's actually made by Krause.
I cut the outer two pans from each axle using my 4-1/2" angle grinder so I can pull it with my Mahindra 5525 (54 hp engine, 45 hp pto).









It pulls OK on a dry field--we disc in early Oct when the fields are bone dry from 3 months of summer heat. If I want to use it in Spring, I'd have to remove more pans.
