Pull type disk

I have an old set of 8' pull type disk with a front and back set of disks. It is to difficult to use in a small garden and tears up grass when turning unless you get off and straighten disks out each time. I am wondering if anyone has converted a pull style to a 3 pt hitch. I think I would just use the front set of disks and weight them as I would be using them with a 8n. Anyone with some thoughts on if it is possible to do this and how I would do it. Thankyou.

hi, i have often solved this type of problem, by hooking up my boon/lift pole to the 3 pth, then hooking on to the disk with the draw bar. then connect your lift via chain and then you can lift your disk as necessary. of course you would have to know if your tractor could be able to pick that much weight up, and make sure you don't lift the front end off the ground.

I understand the problem with using such a disk in a small space. While you can turn your disk into a single-gang 3-point unit, here are the problems:

Folks are really starting to like the double pull disks, and an 8' unit is worth some money in some locations. Might want to try to sell yours, & buy a 3-point for the same money..... They don't make trailing double gang disks any more, while 3-point disks are pretty cheap.

The trailing disks have a lot of flex. Making it a solid welded 3-point will make it not follow the ground as well, not quite as nice a finish, not adjustable. Making it adjustable & somewhat flexable is going to take a _lot_ of welding, planning, iron, & bucks - you won't save anything.

A single gang disk will ridge - a lot. There is no getting around that. Your double disk throws the dirt out, then pulls it back in. A single disk will throw dirt out, leaving the field terraced. Will you be happy with that?

Just my thoughts.

If it was me I would not cut up a good 8' pull disk.
Smaller pull disks are getting real hard to find in this neck of the woods. They seem to bring more money on sales around here also.
I bet some one would have a 3pt disk they would trade with you.

Blair: You will find with single discs throwing out it will tend to ridge the soil, leaving a hollow at center and high at both sides. On a small garden you can help this substancially by splitting your passes thus doing same as back discs normally do.

The other item I would take a serious look at is just using the back set. I have friend, an older guy and he has it that way. I have never asked him why. I do have a lot of respect for his actions and opinions. At 78 I suspect he has tried both. I did happen along one day as he was finishing garden, and it looked good from the ridgeing aspect.

Like you say your just doing the garden and thus don't want to spend a bushel of money. To set up the whole 28 blade disc as 3 point would be costly, and may be just a bit more than 8N will lift. That weight that gets 4-6 feet behind 3 point links is quite heavy.
