Hi folks, I've been looking for a disc harrow for my 51 8n but I'm not sure what size is appropriate as I haven't used one before. My garden area is about 70ft x 70ft and I just don't want to deal with a rototiller.
I'm thinking the heavier the better but obviously there is a limit with the 8n. Below are some examples I found poking around Craig's List. I'm not sure if there is enough info with these but any thoughts on these with regard to size and performance would be greatly appreciated. Again, this is for a 8n:
Also, do the harrows with the notched front blades cut up the soil better than the smooth blades?
