Can someone tell me the correct angle of the disc gangs on a offset disc.

I'm going to take a 3pt Glenco field cultivator frame, strip the shanks off, cut the width down and take two #37 IH seven foot disc gangs and put the two together. This will be used to disc CRP areas for food plots and sod waterways before rebuilding.

So this will be a 3pt seven foot offset disc with seven inch spacing and sixteen inch smooth blades.

Anyone else build there own offset disc on the cheep? Do you have other suggestions? Thanks! Dave

You will be better off getting disc gangs that had a 9" spacing and get at least 18" disc blades and the angle use the max setting form the orignal disc. The offset that I had was orignaly a factory made unit that was a drag unit with no wheels nan a hydrolic cylinder to adjust gang angle with, I never ran it at full angle as to do so it wanted to run it sideways to much. it had a 9" spacing on 22" blades and to keep it running straight I pulled a tandam J D KBA drag disk behind that with a cultipasker behind that, total width of the complete unit was about 7 1/2' and I pulled that with a J D A, 38 HP, in heavy clay corn stalk ground. the only thing you would have would be a unit just a foot wider than a cheep 3 point farm store tandem disk and no more cutting power

About the same angle as the gangs were before. I did that to an Oliver 232 to make a 6' disk for my MF-135. It had enough weight it was useful compared to the light weight of a three point disk. It was a pull behind and I left it that way. The frame and wheel frame is wider than the disk gangs but I don't work the ground absolutely all the way to the fence anyway. I ran a couple pieces of 3" tall wide flange I beams from to rear under the original frame and bolted the disk gangs to that.

My present disk a JD model BW has adjustable gang angles, but the manual gives no hints at what works best.

Just don't cut too far back on the weight or you might have well as bought a category one three point disk at the farm store, which won't dig in either.
