a few years ago I bought a 6ft Altas 300 disc,
was a mistake, as I believe this disc is really a small round bailer built to look like a disk.
seems like every time I try to disc my garden, all this disc does is wrap the garden material up in the axles.
I ran my rotary cutter over the garden first to cut up the weeds, cornstalks, etc:
I see others disking out in the fields, just running right along and never having the problems I have with this disc
it is a cheap made disc and did not come with blade scrapers, but I attached a chain from the frame to the axle to keep the dirt from building up, but does not work on this disc.
see pictures attached,
should I look for another disc, if so, what do I look for so the dirt does not build up????//
I will let the grass dry for a few days then jack up the disc in my shop and try cutting out the grass with a box cutter, a real pain in the bottom,
there has to be a better way,
also the builder installed slotted blades on the rear gangs to further irritate the owner user, the sloted blades on the rear catch on your drag and lock up the rear gangs, so you drag up piles of dirt before you realize it not turning,
how could a company stay in business build such a tool and why did I buy it????
may paint it up nice this winter and send it down the road next spring. I have had enough
