I realize that these were made in the 1930-60's window as I read googling the name. Looking for anyone who ran one. I just bought a 4 disc, 3 pt unit today and I'm getting to learn it. My model number is M1754 and I got the 123rd one it looks like.
Have 2 complaints: My rears are 16.9x28 and are setup on 6' max width. The 4 bottom, centered on the drawbar (for a reference) fit right between the rears leaving the right one to pack the fresh dirt from the previous lap. I'm digging in damp but solid black clay so you don't get a lot of material per pass and even with my dropping the left side leveling box to make #4 and the torque balancing wheel dig in better it still basically wants to cut off surface vegetation with the left 2 and dig dirt with the right 2 discs.
Second, with the hard surface on one side and the skewing effect of the oneway, to get succeeding laps to cut right at the cut line of the previous pass, the right front tire is over in freshly plowed clay, packing it into a well baked cow patty consistency.
What it cuts it cuts nicely and flips the sod over covering the Austrian Winter Peas with dirt like it's supposed to.
Tomorrow, I think I'll take it off and put my pasture renovator on and run over the field with it and then come back with the one way.
Thanks for any input,
Mark
