More Disc help!

So I'm off to buy new bearings for it, but realized I might as well try and solve another problem while its apart.

This is an old Cockshutt set, and it leaves quite a large mound of earth at the center. The back discs are just way too close, only 14' apart and these are 18' discs! My smaller Massey disc set with smaller discs, has about 18' spacing.

So, what do you think would be a solution? Either take one disc and leave it off the rear left side, but maybe the earth would still come out uneven with the right side still on?

Other option, I could bring the two inside rear discs to weld shop and get him to cut them down in size maybe 2' so they don't throw as much earth. This option means taking the right side apart however.....

Is there a proper ratio, of disc size to spacing at the rear to follow?

Should have kept my big yap shut on that one; knee-jerk reaction. :>(

If you're ridgin', pull the rears out of the ground a little.

If it is not covering correctly, pull the fronts out and lower the rears to dig in more and throw more dirt.

Oh, and just for what it is worth? Cultivators, discs and plows don't come in "sets". Never did, never will.

One tractor is used to operate one implement.

Try reducing rear angle first and widen rear spacing if needed.

Problem is the "handle" to adjust the front to back is seized up nice and good. Will have to work on that now.

Thanks guys!
