Disc Harrow Your opinion on this old harrow

[HCJtractor]

Deere looks like it might be a little sturdier built.

Actually in person, the new disc is bigger/heavier. The photo doesn’t do it justice

Another one of my observations gone awry.

The newer one has the easy adjusting angle setting, how ever the Deere has the offset gangs that allow the blades to overlap in the center as to not leave the strip uncut. There are several things one has over the other that will ultimately be a personal preference for you to decide.

For what you're doing I don't see why the Deere wouldn't be the answer, $700 or $2000 plus tax for a total of 5 acres twice a year? I would buy the Deere..

Yes I’m leaning toward the Deere. But I just hope it’s heavy enough to break the ground without having to add weight. It’s just an odd configuration. I can’t find much info about it. Found it was marketed as a “Level Action” disc in the 1970’s.

We have one very similar to the Deere in the picture posted. This one was red or orange to start with. No idea what brand name or anything. It is about 7' and plenty heavy to do what it is intended for. The 5 shank chisel plow we have was blue to begin with.

My MIL gave them to us to get them out of her yard. Both work very well on our ground behind the JD 2032R.
