I have the opportunity to purchase a used krause 8 foot disk from an individual. It is in fair condition, rusty, no cylinder for lift, 2 blades are popped from the bushing holds, and looks like one set of discs wont turn. Other side has been repaired for the same problem. Other than that, all the blades are ok, not too chewed up. I need a disc for some light work around the property, not commercial or anything. What do you think I should offer?, give a ball park figure if you could?

What's it worth? I don't know. I would want to pay about 3-5 cents a pound. In my area, discs are still quite regularly used, so they tend to sell for more. That one would probably bring anywhere between 500 and 1000 based on your description. A good disc often brings 1500-3000 at auction around here, and they're simply not worth that much. People pay it, but I don't know why. They don't do a day's work before you're fixing them.... If I was looking for one, I'd buy the worst beater I could find with a decent frame scrapers and spools. That's about all I'd use from it after it was rebuilt. I'd replace every blade, bearing and gangbolt in the thing, because if I didn't do it right away, I'd do it day by day. To my way of thinking, 100-150 would be fine if you don't want to do a whole lot with it. You can afford to fix what's wrong without spending a bundle....

Watched four disks at auctions within the last month.

All worked, all were rough, but usuable (meaning some bearing work, and/or blade replace)

$80-140, all were either 10 or 12 footers.

Not over 100-150 in that kind of shape.

Yes, it is a hydraulic raising disk. Krause is the manufacturer, still around today. My tracor has hydraulic set ups to handle it.

Scrap price. If you are only going to do some light work around home, you could get by without fixing bearing but would have to get other one to turn. You said it didn't have a cylinder, is it a wheel disk that can be raised up for travel? If so you need remote hydraulics on you tractor. Chris

I generaly consider $50/foot a good estimate for a good, ready-to-use disk. Hard to say without seeing it, but I probably wouldn't go over $150-200 for the one you described. Bearings and blades can add up to lots of$$$ in a hurry. Paid $500 for a heavy-duty 12' Ford #230 with a lift cylinder last spring. Ready to go except was missing 3 of the scrapers.

I don't know what a krause is? But sound like some of the discs don't turn. Might take some work and skill (which I don't have) to fix.

Anyway, I purchased a pull type 8 foot JD 2row double disc at auction for $175 in working condition. Probably between 40 and 50 years old. Not much paint left on it.

I also purchased a 3pt pull type 8 foot Ferguson 2row double disc farm direct for $150 in semi working condition. I have of photo of the Serial plate with model number somewhere. Plate fell off in the field. Parts of the 3pt connection are missing. but still works. This disc is probably between 50 and 60 years old.

I pull these with a 1955 Ford 600 and sometimes use a double section JD adjustable spiketooth drag. Paid $50 for that.

I don't have remote hydraulics on my Ford at this time. So I would say a disc that requires hydraulics would be worth less to me than one that can be put in the travel position with out hydraulics.

my two cents.
