What would be the best small 6 ft disk for cutting sod,not talking about just the new but any of the older models or would a small offset 3 point work,have seen some homemade ones you know how some will cut and some just want do the job.
 
The older disks usually require "weight" to set them in the ground, but work ok if properly set. The newer 3-points work good on the straightaway, not so much on turns or hills .
Good luck !!

An offset would be best.IMHO,Those little light 3 point disks are'nt worth the gas to cut em for scrap.
 
Might look at a tufline brand disc.
The 38/91624 series is a very heavy disc 6 ft.

It puts around 320/385 pounds per square inch of force on blades per the ad. Taylor way is another brand of heavy built disc.

I owned a tufline 6 ft. Regular double gang disc once, sealed bearings, great disc, but it was too heavy for my TO35 Ferguson.

I bought an atlas 300 disc, it's a medium weight 6 ft disc, my tractor likes it much better.
 
To have any chance at cutting sod at all you'll need a minimum of 60 to 70 lbs per blade regardless of the style of disk. This is an absolute minimum; true heavy duty disks have three or four times this weight per blade. This would put a typical 6-ft disk at 1200 lbs or more. Look for something with a wider spacing of 9 inches vs. the more common (for small disks) 7 inch. This reduces the number of blades for a given disk width and increases the penetration. The Monroe Tufline TL43 series would be one such model.
 
I used to have a John Deere made by Kilifer? It was maybe 7' and offset. Very good cutting for a small disc. With a few passes it could probably have worked up sod. I see them around from time to time, so I'm sure with a little work you could find one.

Taylor way used to be top of the line. Heaviest 3 point you could buy, also had a hinged frame, between the front and rear gangs, if you had rough ground to cover, you just pulled a pin out, and the rear gang could float over rough ground.
 
My Dad had this Case disc when I was growing up, from the "50s/60s. I forget the model though.
