I purchased a used "Land Pride" DH25 (or equal) disc harrow and downloaded its manual from the Web. Its bearings are shot and there is corrosion on the nuts and bolts. I have purchased bearings and am motivating myself to restore this piece of equipment to some simblance of its former use. I'll torch cut the keeper nuts off and replace them with new ones if the breaker bar and "Liquid Wrench" fail to accomplish removal. There are two inherent difficulties with this disc. 1.) I am NOT a farmer and 2.) it is too tall and doesn't lift more than ~2-inches off of the ground. I am towing it behind an MF 275 (67 HP) but there is no more static adjustment in the lifting arms of the 3-pt. hitch (no more drilled holes toward the tractor to effect an upward lift in the arms). Perhaps there is a little more dynamic adjustment (screwing the lifting arms tighter into the threaded bars) but not much. The top link is attached to the lowest of 3 location points on the tractor. Tire inflation is good. Tire size is as recommended by the manufacturer. Not "turf" tires. I suppose I could use 18" blades, but the disc is designed for 20" to 22" blades. It is currently fitted with 22" blades most of which are in one piece and good shape so replaceing all of them w/20" blades is not the way that I would like to go. I'm "living with" tough trailering and even tougher maneuvering around uneven terrain. Any suggestions? Land Owner If it was easy, anybody could do it."
