I think my post may have upset somebody, that wasn't my intention. It's just that a 730 is twice the tractor of an 8N, and that a two-bottom TSC plow and 6' foot disc may work fine on an 8N in frequently worked soil, but the 730 would tear those implements to pieces in heavy ground like that alfalfa sod. Just didn't want Bob to get into an unexpected mess. 3-point equipment isn't as universal as some people are led to believe, especially on the older tractors. Should've used more tact, I guess. Anyway, a two bottom trailer should work, as I believe there would be enough hitch adjustment on the tongue to make up for the wheel track. Trailer plows are cheap around here. I saw a 4-bottom Oliver trailer with hydraulic lift sell for $45 last month. Just needed shares and shins. As far as the Ferguson disk, I think the only recourse is to find a parts machine. I don't use ours very often anymore, just in the vegetable and pumpkin patches, less than 2 acres per year. Last bearing half I put on it in 1994 was $99.00 A whole new bearing and spool would be around $300, you should be able to pick up a whole other ABO22 disk for that at a sale, in good shape.
