I saw both working on Friday but you weren't driving. Sorry I missed you. I did notice the power disk was pulling hard. Saw the driver raise it several times to let the 60 catch up. Really neat piece to see in action.

Tim S, sure was nice to meet you at the show. Thank you for coming over and describing your work on the two tractors and the power disc. Really nice "farmerized" work you did. As I said, I am a long time lurker, but wanted to say thanks! Jim.

Thanks for the pics. Tim!

The modded 60s never fail to impress......

The Farmhand Power Disc turned out real nice too. I watched the videos posted on the other thread and was surpised at the load it put on your 60C. Looking at the pictures of the discs / cutters that you had posted a while ago I would've thought the HP requirement would've been substantially less than a conventional rototiller.

I guess it's good for the 60 though......Gets it up to operating temp. & reduces carbon build up. LOL

Ooh yes it got the carbon knocked out of it okay,,I cut it down from 16ft. to 9ft....should have went on down to 7ft.,,that dirt out there was kinda tuff, so that didn't help any..I can see why they didn't go over well back then...but it was a fun project..

Also that 60 seems to be going fast. Maybe it needs a creeper for this kind of job?

What were the Power Discs designed for orginally? Managing trash? The machine kinda looks like a powered version of the fancy new vertical tillage machines.......

A little off the subject, but somewhat related, have you ever seen a pull type rototiller? Always wanted to find something like what you have but with tines to use behind our 4020s as neither have 3pt hitches.......

It actually is one gear slower than a wheel tractor,, I didn't have enough room to gear it the same,, so first gear is slower,, second gear is the same as first was,,
