Hugh MF Poor

I asked recently about a John Deere 3 point disc.
You guys made me think a lot with your comments.
What do you think about this MF disc?
I still didn't get an answer about tractor HP; I'll be using a disc for some gardening and light hayfield renovation. My little tractor has about 32 HP - is a 7' disc too much?
If you were looking for a disc today for my purposes - what would you be looking for?

As for Hugh's assumtions, as usual, he's got his head stuck up his arse and has not the very first clue what he THINKS he knows about me. But then, who's suprised about that?

Now MF Poor is another catergory, he must have been buying those 100+ hp MF tractors of the 1980s. All the guys the farmed with 35-135 were MF Rich.

On another note about the Ford flex disk, I may be a poor one to ask. According to YT discussion Ford disks were built by Oliver. That being the case they very likely are a good disk. One has to remember, most of these companies did not always sell the same product line in Canada as in the US. The Ford disks I've seen here in Canada definitely where not made by Oliver, Cochshutt or White. I had two Cockshutt disks, same as Oliver, however mine were wheel controlled tandem disks.

Over the years I've seen several neighbors with those 3 point MF disks. Definitely best best light mounted disk I've ever seen. I was so impressed, I bought one two years ago and got rid of my IH light mounted disk. This MF-25 is the same disk as in your photo, 24 blades and 18" blades. It will go axle deep, first cut on just about any plowed ground, and doesn't need to be set anywhere near the sharpest angle. It's really too much load for my Farmall 130 or 140, both pulling and lifting. I have thought of taking one blade off each gang turning it into 20 blade disk, however in doing that, I'm not sure I'd be able to pull it set at the sharpest angle. I think the 4 blades, spacers and extra arbor, would help on my hydraulics, from a lifting point of view. I guess I'll just have to buy a MF-35 tractor, and unlike George, increase my riches.

I may have been a bit hasty calling the disk in your photo a model 25. The model 25 has steel bushing type bearings. There it a later model number, same disk except sealed ball or roller bearings. One works as well as the other.

I had one and lament letting it go. Absolutely par excellance! It was the only MF anything I ever owned as I always said MF stood for something besides Massey Ferguson!

Use one of these little Fergie disks and you'll throw rocks at all others...and I'm a fan of green paint.....and Persian orange paint and IH red paint.
