Casey's Disk

First picture is an IH 470 for sure; second, I couldn't find a model number and appears to maybe be a straight old Case instead of a CaseIH.

anyways, i just got home here tonight and i'll be late again tomorrow night so wed. will be my first chance to go look at it. my neighbor is in no hurry to sell so i'm sure i could hook on this spring and see if it's even possible or not. if it doesn't work you'll be the first to know so we can maybe work something out with your 370 :>) hoping to be in the field by the first of april(was last year anyways!)

1066 with duals and no weight added, pulled it quite easily. I had stones, so prefered pulling it with 100 hp Deere. My cowboys couldn't get much over 4 mph with Deere, which suited me fine in the stones. One thing I found with this disk was leave the wings up behind 656 and 560, man that thing would cut with the added weight from wings being up. Look at it this way, you will have a larger tractor in future.

I tried out a 766 diesel once, and while I didn't have it hooked to disk, I think it would handle that disk with controlled depth, it may take duals. Just think what you can do if you really want to cut deep for some reason. 766 is quite a bit more tractor than specs make it out to be. When I tried out the 766, had it on 5x16 semi mount plow, plowing old pasture that hadn't been turned in 50 years. I couldn't say it really worked the tractor.

Aw heck, the more I thought about it, the more that second picture just did not look like a 470 to me, but rather, a straight Case disc. So, I took it out and posted it again. :>(

It appears that the 470 in the picture is an 18' model (I didn't take time to do the math).

You would be lucky to unfold that disc here in Mass let alone use it, our rocks would tear her up. I have friends who farm in southern Illinois and what they think are rocks, we call pebbles.
