I have a Farmall B that I will use to maintain about 10 acres of pasture. I will need to buy a disc but I am not sure how big of one to look for. I am thinking that I will disc prior to reseeding with a drop spreader and drag harrow, (I don't have a drill). I am not really concerned with how many times I need to cover the fields, I am more worried about sizing the implement to the tractor properly.
Thanks in advance.

May I ask why are you re-seeding a pasture? You said maintain, wich tells me that grass is already established. In my area, an established grassland pasture, does not need to be re-seeded unless the existing grass has been killed or tore up. If re-seeding needs to be done, some people just throw seed right out on the ground (with no ground prep). Grass land is hard to disc up. Disc won't want to go into ground, and if it does it will pull hard. Probably have to hit ground several times to get it really tore up. You will be out there forever if you are trying to disc enough to kill existing grass. Anyways, you should be able to pull a single row of gangs style disc maybe a little wider than tractor. A tandem ganged disc hopefully as wide as tractor. It really depends on how far it is going into the sod/dirt as to whether you will be able to pull it.
