About a week ago I bought a 6 ft JD offset disc in great condition in central Texas for $350. I bought it to break up my place and spread the coastal around some more. I chose it over a tandem because the tandem just wont get into the hard ground well without many passes. I had a hard time finding a 6 ft rather than an 8 ft as i dont have enough umph to pull the 8 ft. Ive seen several 6's for sale at equipment auctions but this was the first one in good shape I could really afford.

Of course, something that is used and in good shape is usually a better buy than new. However, if you want to spend the money for new there is some good stuff that is adjustable with scrapers. Landpride is now making disks that look pretty strong, also Monroe Tuffline. Buy the heaviest one they make in the size you need. If you're going to use it for finish work, get a narrow spacing. I would avoid anything, new or used, that has cast iron bearings, unless you find a used one real cheap. Good luck.

I don't know if 3-point disks are heavy enough to break ground. I'd go for the offset, or an old pull type to break ground.

Sorry, not really answering your question.

No matter who puts their name on the disc most of the new ones out there now will look like this or very similar.
If you'll notice they don't have any disc scrappers or anyway to adjust the angle. They're made so light weight you'll have to add a lot of weight to get them in the ground. The problem with that is that they are made so shoddy the added weight will break them down in the axle carriers..

To answer your question they are usually 18" disc blades on 7" centers, and 3MM thick. They should weigh between 750 and 850 lbs.

If you can find and old set of John Deere, Ford, or Farmall IHC you will have a better set than you can buy nowadays, and at a much lower price.
