I have never used a wheel disc. What controls the depth. The hydrolics are either up or down, no inbetween Is there a setting on the tractor I dont see? The tractor is a JD 5020

Looks like you've gotten plenty of answers on the disking depth question. My only comment is "JD5020 is lots of tractor to have for your first disking." It could probably drag all my stuff sideways down the road. Be safe, and good luck.

A disk generally works best all the way down, but you should be able to stop the hyd cylinder where ever you want it, and carry some weight on the disk wheels. Why doesn't that work?

Those hyd ram stop clips someone mentioned work well too if you have a spot you _always_ want to stop the cyl at - I use them for my chisel plow & field cultivators. But for a disk, most of the time you would want it all down anyhow?

Stan, you should be able to "carry" the disk on your hydraulic cylinder at whatever depth you choose.

check with your fam supply of implement dealer. there are disks (clips) that fit around the hydralic ram shaft that allows for s specific depth penetration.

Disks have only two operating positions: bouncing along on the top of ground that is too hard to penetrate, or buried completely in some @#$%^ mudhole you should have known better than to drive into. The hydraulic controls are just something to fiddle with while you are waiting for help. See the photo for explanation.

Assuming you're talking about a drawbar (vs. 3 point hitch) disk, the type of ground you're disking is what controls the depth. The usual problem is lack of penetration, not over-penetration. On fresh plowing, the disk will run right down to the full depth of the blades, and ride along on the disk axles. On hard clay, it'll bounce along on the top if it isn't heavy enough or the ground is too dry.

On smaller disks, it (was) common to weight them with rocks, etc. to get them to penetrate.

They hydraulics are intended only to lift them into transport position or drop them into working position.

If it's a 3 point disk, you control the depth by lifting the hitch. If the hitch won't stay where you lift it to, it's either leaking down, or you have the controls set to draft-control instead of position control on tractors so equipped.

It sounds like it is what I have now. I have been using a crawler with a drag disc. Thanks to everyone for the help. It will be a new experience for me. Now at least I can cross a road without putting down mats, or tires.
