(quoted from post at 12:55:05 01/31/18) lets say worse case scenario. Fall virgin ground. No cornstalk. It’s a John Deere 10ft offset disk. Blades are not serrated.
a question farmallb, I have a mm m-5 60 hp. and bought a 10 ft. mm disc like the one pictured above, (tandem not offset) so do you take the pins out of the drawbar plate that holds the draw bar centered or to one side or the other?? wouldn't the disc tend to wander around on you?(quoted from post at 16:54:40 02/01/18) Check out the HP of an F-20 and F-30 Farmall. I pulled a bigger disc than that with them. Trick is to let the drawbar swing so that you can turn at the ends of the field.
thanks Leroy, will pin the draw bar in the center. but what do you mean by set short?(quoted from post at 10:12:22 02/02/18) On whel disk always kept the drawbar oined fast in center and set short. On drag type of disk let drawbar swing for easier turning. But that was with smaller tractors than yours.

thank you guys will check the draw bar on the m5 when I get it in for it's winter rehab(quoted from post at 12:23:23 02/02/18) A lot of tractors have adjustable length drawbars with the long position for PTO powered inplements with a shorter setting for use with tillage tools and the like that does not require a long PTO position for hooking up and turning. The short position will not want to pull the tractor straight as you are trying to turn. The closer to center of rear axle if on your tractor or truck the hitch point is the easier to get it to go where you aim the front wheels. I don't know if your tractor has a 2 setting drawbar or only one setting for length but most that I have seen have the multi position for length. I know the Deeres that I had and the Fords had that. Now on a Farmall H or M the only adjustment for length was if you used the swinging drawbar or not.
forgot to ask farmallb is that a wheel disc, or a drag type?(quoted from post at 09:54:57 02/04/18) GEE, as to your wandering question, I always wondered why my disc was trying to pass me. LOL. NO, It stays RIGHT behind and keeps centered as long as you are discing in a straight line. When you come to a corner, yes the disc will heel over as much as the drawbar slides on the cross draw bar. On a curve I just lean a bit into whats already been disced, as I always 1/2 disced a field, as it was a single wing disc.
good evening RJKeith, looking at the top pic of your tandem disc the pipe swivel that raises and lowers your wheels is missing 3 grease nipples that screw into the top brackets that hold the pipe in place on the frame I think, I have the same set up on my mm 10ft. disc and your looks like a Krause design like mine.(quoted from post at 06:23:36 02/01/18) I have a 13 ft I pull with a Case 800, 55HP.
