Just about down discing for 15 year CRP which means now is a really bad time to be asking questions about disc adjustments. About 5 hours left of discing and we have junked 3 hydralic cylinders and the last good big one is one the disc now.

What is the theory or thoughts on the disc gang angle to the direction of travel? Is less or more angle better?

Also, is it a bad thing to turn the disc a 90 degree corner with disc in the ground? Will it hurt the hitch?

Dad always gets upset when he sees another farmer doing a doing corner turn with the disc down.

Thanks

Don

Depends on if it is an offset or tandom and if your plowing clock or counter clock wise. Most manufactures dont recommend leaving the plow down on sharp truns and if it is an offsett going counter-clockwise you will eat the bearings up in no time. The other way not so bad. Much easier to lift it and plow out the corners later. Tandoms are just as bad and direction makes not difference its bad either way. Besides it wont plow as deep and you have to go over the corners again anyway. Just my two cents.

Leaving in the ground is hard on the disk bearings and supports. You also can not turn easily thus working the tracotr more. Finally, the disk blade stand a good chance of cracking or breaking. Dad always chewed on me real hard if I tried to turn with it in the ground.
