anyone ever use an Athens 83 or 93 disk?

I am needing a heavy but narrow disk that will really cut. I like the look of the Athens and just wondering if they are as good as they look, and if anyone has one for sale.

I can't say about that model, but based on my experience I'd say you'd be OK. I had a 14' transport disc we must have used for 15 years without issue. I really liked the discs/gangs. Bearings were very heavy greaseable type, and I would grease them once a year, before parking it for the winter. So then I got a 25'-26' model, and added rolling baskets. Unfortunately Athens didn't make the leveling linkage much heavier than they had on the smaller disc, and I had trouble with it. Baskets didn't help that any. But, again, the discs/gangs were fine.

I have the smallest size Athens 131 and like it. Cuts great but not the best at leveling or maybe I just have never got it adjusted just right. Tom
