That is a homemade offset heavy disk made from a bigger farm disk.

Think you will need to come up with something to brace that right, it will always have a whole lot of stress pushing in that direction.

Inner sway bars are much better, they go to the little tabs you may have in the center of your tractor where the drawbar would pin on. However, that will then put the pressure on your 3pt arms, and likely would bend them......

Do you have a bar on the right? It would be pulling against that one instead of pushing on it. But you need one on both sides. Then you will need your front wheels loaded.

Farmboy,
You have quite a load there,

It looks like it would operate much like my old disc plow,

The key to the proper operation of a disc plow, is the rear guide blade, it must be in good condition and properly adjusted so the plow follows straight behind the tractor.

The guide blade on your (discer) or whatever is the proper name of the tool. It appears to be small and worn out.

If you get the guide blade properly set and adjusted, the machine should follow the tractor.

I use a chain on the right side when using my disc plow, to keep it from pulling to the left and possibly breaking my lift arm check chains. The chain is not used as a stabilizer, but adjusted to stop the movement of the plow before it breaks the check chain.

Question: Wonder what the advantage is of a tool built like this over a normal disc? Never seen anything built like this in west KY.

The implement in the photo is a 3 pt disk tiller or one way which several models were built by several different equipment companies. I agree you need a sway bar on tractor RH 3 pt draft arm. It also helps to use coulter looking wheel to help steer the implement. Here's a photo of a JD version of a 3 pt disk tiller.

I agree I will have to put some kind of brace from the right hand side before I go thru all the work is it worth it I will have to add weight to the far left side so it will dig in where would I find a better guide blade this one does look tired

Don't think you will ever keep that tractor travelling straight if you do get it in the ground. Need something heavier.

saw this picture of a disk tiller about the same size, but the guide disk blade is much larger.

even the guide blade on my old disc plow is larger than the one on your plow.

you are on the right track, need to install a larger guide blade before you tear up something on your tractor 3 pt hitch

FarmboySr, to start with, as others have said, the guide disk is shot. Secondly, that looks to have about 3 disks too many for the size of your tractor. Not that it won't pull it, but digging as it aught, it's gonna be working it pretty hard. IIRC, a disk plow requires about 1/2 - 2/3 the HP per disk as a (14") moldboard plow per bottom. If I'm wrong, I hope someone corrects me.

That what we call a oneway out in west Texas. It only tills 2-3 in deep.

I think you have a Krause F 8 disk plow for Ford and Ferguson tractors. I know folks will correct me that it is a harrow or tiller instead of a plow, but that's the word Krause used in their brochure.
