Need advice. Looking at getting offset disk, probably about 7 feet. Most people around here use offset disk to prepare Fall oat/wheat land for planting and Spring for sudan. Looking at pull type and 3-point type. Have 67 PTO HP tractor. I see that disks come as 22" 24" and 26" with spacings of 9 inch 9 1/2 inch or 10 1/2 inch. What are your opinions at to:
1. Pull type versus 3-point type
2. Disk size and spacing
3. What used brands are best
4. What new brands are best
Thanks for your help

Tom, this won't help much but its something: I would definately get a pull type as opposed to a 3 pt type. They do a better job and are easier on a tractor. Seven feet sounds about right for needs to me...we have a 6 foot for 60hp International. Not sure of the disk size and spacing; I guess bigger is better though. We own an Aamco but I have not heard anything bad about any brand. Offsets are pretty simply and its hard to make a bad one I suppose. Where ya from in Texas (I'm in College Station)

Agen, Live up in Weatherford area. Thanks for the input. Are you sure about the spelling of your plow brand? Aamco? Where is it made? can't find any internet site for it. Tom

I'm not at all sure; I thought that's what it was, but I've been wrong before. We bought it second hand and that's what I thought it was...could be wrong. I thought about it and remembered a friend saying they recently bought an Athens offset and were happy. I'm sure Athens is a bigger brand....also try Bush Hog, Kilfer, Deere, etc. If I were you, I'd go look at local used equipment dealers....there should be some around you (you're around Dallas, right?) Here in the Brazos River bottom, good used offsets in that width range are plentiful, just cruise a few big used equipment lots and see what catches your eye. By the way, you would NOT pull a 9 foot offset with a John Deere G where I live....our 6 foot will stop our 60+ hp International dead in its tracks. IMHO, 7 foot is plenty.

I think the rule of thumb on offset discs, at least around my area, is you need 10HP for every foot of disc you are pulling minimum. That lines up with what AGEN is saying about pulling a 6 foot disc with a 60 HP tractor. We pull a 9 ft Brillian offset disc with 20inch blades and pull it with an 1850 Oliver diesel at 97Hp and that is all she wants. You can also change the drag and cut on the disc by changing the angles of the offset so that you can pull it better or make the disc bite in more, depending on what you are doing. We also pull a 22 foot double offset batwing disc but it doesnt pull as hard as the offset most of the time, because it doesnt bite like the true offset does. Just my 2 cents. Good luck.
