using a disk

Have a nice three point disk that wounldn't do much of anything behind my case VAO due to the old case's eagle claw hitch setup (won't put down pressure as the eagle claw lets the disk move when it hits a bump, lump etc.) Have gotten rid of milky oil in my TEA and put in GL1 obtained at Wal-mart as per many posts here. Question is, any tricks to hooking up the disk on the fergy 3pt and using it. Have no manual so this self adjusting PTO depth business has me a bit bewildered/concerned. Our old (ancient and wore out) drag disk had everything from pieces of discarded state highway to tree trunks haywired to it to get enough downforce to work) If I mount the "new" disk on my three point, put the tree point down and go will it disk this rough clay I have on the coast of WA State? (In summer it's like lumps of concrete where the cows have walked in the winter). Any help is appreciated.

If its a 3 point linkage hitch, then just hitch it up to the tractor and go.You cant put any downforce on it, the hydraulics in this instance dont control the depth they just lift and lower it. to change the depth of work you have to change the angle of the discs. Regarding working the clay, it will only do it if you can pull it and that depends on your tractor.

Thanks John, I think that answers the question. So it sounds as though once it's hooked up and transported to the field in question, I can add weight as needed to get it to cut (along with adjusting the angle). Thanks. That helps.

You are correct in that Stan, add weight and alter the angle. Get discing before it sets to concrete.

I used a three-point disc on a "Jubilee" Ford tractor on the Olympic Peninsula at my daughter's farm... set it, weight it, and raise it up when you turn corners..unlike a pull-behind, three point discs don't "turn well" on corners and put some strain on your tractor's system..Anyway,follow the recommendations of all the others and it should work well for you. LOL...Jim
