Disc Whipping- the rest of the story

To defend myself though I must say it get's a little complicated.

I'm a small cattle rancher in N. Tex. I have several properties separated by a total of 27 miles. Half of which is US 287 south of Wichita Falls. I generally have to run this route twice a year. I nowadays pull this disc with a JD 4840 with duals.(Got a steal at an auction) Buying a trailer big enough for this rig is cost prohibitive. Also running down the highway with it ain't much fun, I spend a large part of time in the grass account the shoulder isn't wide enough for the whole rig. Need to run as fast as the tractor will go to reduce time in the fast lane. (about 24 mph). There's a lot of folks out there that will come flying up behind you at 70+ even though I have signs waving and lites a flashing. Tried pulling the disc with the p/u once, got scary. Since I usually plow with a chisel in tandem with the disc I tried it with them both on, really got scary. Guess I ought to buy some new iron, but got more iron now than silver.
Thanks again pete
Ps: Lite rain, 32 degrees----- - don't cha wish you were here !!!!! !!!

A neighbor of mine had the transport lock break in the middle of village, on a rough RR crossing. As the hydraulic cylinder was with tractor on another implement, down came the disk on the asphalt. 16'non folding disk and he was blocking both lanes, of two lane road, plus the pickup wouldn't pull it off roadway. A guy with a forklift came to his rescue. Had another guy tell me about bending disk suspension on one side, from hitting a bump on road, and they could never keep it straight after that. When disking it would always cut deeper on one side.
