Hey,
I just got my 1998 Massey Ferguson 231 tractor. It is 38 engine horse power, and 34 PTO horse power. It weighs 4,065 lbs without water in the tires. This is without a front end loader also (which I don't have).
I bought a new 5 1/2 ft King Kutter box blade the other day and it pulls it fully loaded in high 1st with no problem at all. That is without even giving it any throttle!
I was wondering what SIZE and BRAND of disks should I buy? Do I need SEALED or GREASABLE bearings?
I am looking at the Howse, King Kutter, and United brands, but that don't actually mean I will buy one of those.
I definitely want the "tubing" type frame and not the angle iron. I also want both the front and rear to all be "notched" disks.
I will mainly be using it to do my deer food plots in the winter time, along with other people's to maybe make a little extra money. Other than the food plots, I may make a very small garden to plant a couple rows of cucumbers too. But other than what I mentioned, the disks will be just sitting there in the weather in the pasture.
I don't want to buy something that is made of cheap material and flimsey, but on the other side of the coin I don't want to buy the top-of-the-line on the market either. I don't plan on doing landscape work with them.
WHAT ARE YA'LLS RECOMMENDATIONS?
Thanks,
Travis R
