I own a 5320. We use it for haying and some "chore" work. I also own a 12 ft Duetz-Allis 2500 series disk with 18 or 20 inch disks ..don't remember which. I have had problems pulling the disk with a 6080 Allis. Unless the rather light 5320 is weighted down with front end weights, rear weights and ballast and possess a loader frame to keep the engine block from "flexing" as it pulls the disk, et al.. over the uneven ground... I would refrain from using it. The 5320 is one tough little tractor, but it wasn't designed to do heavy tillage work. It might pull it with the disks set shallow, but I doubt it would pull it with the disks set down to its axles. It's a matter of tractor weight/traction. [Reply]   [No Email]
