what part of the country would be the best area to find a disc plow or one way. Known in some places as a disc tiller
 
Well a disk plow and disc tiller arent quite the same thing . Used to be lots of disc tillers out west the old steel wheel ones never seen a rubber tired one only in pictures . A disc plow has each disc mounted separately

Back in my youth & when I was employed by a JD dealer('65-'87) there were quite a few disk plows & disk tillers utilized in N Texas. I plowed many acres with both types.
 
What was the diameter of the disk blades on them both. Dad tells of grandpa having a disk plow of some kind that had discs about 3ft in diameter. After the first set wore out he could not get good ones anymore. I guess he either sold it or junked it long ago. there was one of the old blades around for years and it was one he wore out or down to about 24 to 30inches.
 
Areas where clay soils are prevelant...like the Texas Blacklands running through the central part of the state. Moldboards gum up and you need a rolling disc to stay clean. I'm in Houston Black Clay and use such for that reason.
 
Yes I know the difference. I had some ground cleared and thought one or the other might be good to work it up with.
 
Used to be widely used in West Central TX. Still some one ways in fence corners and fence rows. Most have been scrapped in favor of big sweep rigs. Most were Krause.
 
Nex-tech classifieds ads has them on there all the time. As Brandon said, they are for sale all over the western part of Kansas. They were called a one-way. I pulled an 18' one made at Krause Plow in Pratt, Ks. We were in the sand hills of south central Kansas. You had to pull packers behind the because they left the ground so clean, it would blow if you didn't.
 
I spent forever on a JD A pulling a 5 disc Athens tiller in our hills on my Grandma's farm when I was a younger fellow.
That old A would pull it in 4th gear all day long.
And we have heavy clay soils in lots of places.

My experience it drys your soil out,because it leaves it very open,and rough but does leave a little stubble on top!
