third party image

Thick wooden front axle (nearest to the donkey); long lag screws drilled into ends as short axles take the end of the L-piece and also the end of the shorter piece which will hold the trace chain (attaches to donkey).

A hole in the "elbow" of L-piece threads onto the 5/8" steel axle in the middle. This axle holds 7-1/4" used rotary saw blades spaced by pieces of conduit (ie replaceable) and the blades are loose enough to wobble off course slightly if they hit small rocks etc.

Thoughts?

In reference to your drawing, if you were to put the rolling wheels behind the saw blades or coulters, you could push down on your handles to make the blades run shallower. Having the wheels in front of the blades means you have to lift up on the handles, which seems like it would be more difficult. I think the sharper the blades you can put on the contraption, the better, in order to get through that established sod. Maybe you can grind those used saw blades to a sharpness like a coulter?
I think discs are the way to go over any spring type shank, which might have a tendency to scratch along the surface.

However, contrary to what I posted above, the design in your drawing above would allow you to use your own body weight to help push the blades down into the ground.

It might be difficult to find wood with the right grain to make strong L-handles as you show. Plywood (not OSB) sandwiched together might be the strongest.

Oh, I hadn't thought of plywood!! I was thinking I'd have to find a blacksmith...
