Here in the southeast there was a brand called "King" made in Georgia. They were one of the first if not the first to use the square tube frames and have the easy adjustment of gang angle. I have one that cuts great and then can be reangled to smooth better. In good soil, I have had it cut so deep the axles would be below the soil line. That will make a tractor grunt beyond belief... LOL

My primary point is that there are a bunch of old 3 point disc harrows out there that weigh as much or more than anything made today, that can be had for a fraction of the cost. most parts can still be had and you will have a piece of equipment you will never wear out

My suggestion... patience and watch the farm auctions.

My neighbor and I have the same HP tractors. He has bent two cheap discs (angle iron) doesn't really matter on the brand, all the cheaper ones are built similar. Also they have no weight to them to bite into the ground.

I got a good used JD tandem disk with a full set of extra blades for half the price at an auction. It is a little big for my tractor, so I just took a disc off each gang. As others said, this thing will outlast me.

Just my two cents.

I looked at kk but didn't like what I saw, especially the price that went with it. Ended up scanning local adds and found one that had seen its better days. All was solid rust, axles worn a third of the way throught the housings, different size disks from being replaced, and a couple broken ones. Was probably 60 years old. Have no idea what it is. Paid the man 75 dollars, spent a few hours fixin and tightening it up. That was four years ago and it'll cut through 15 year old fescue sod. A bit heavy but it does a great job. It'll probably outlast me. Good luck.

. Buy an older model disk. The TSC models dont hold a candle compared to some old iron. Hughs advice is right on track. If you are on anything other than blow-sand you will be disappointed with the TSC simply not heavy enough. Chuck Davis. P.S. Been there done that.

Jackson: 35 years ago Massey Ferguson made the best 3 point disk under 8' in size. I have never seen a light disk that will match them. It is all in the gang layout and design.

I had used some quite heavy and large trailer disks during my farming days. A few years ago I needed a small disk. A neighbor suggested I use his IH 444 and 24 blade MF 3 point disk. This was a new building lot. That disk cut far better than I expected. It also made that 444 work much harder than I ever expected.

I don't know if anyone still build new versions of that MF disk. I would check that out. If you search for an older MF just be sure bearings and disk blades are good before you pay very much. A used disk is worth exactly the expected life of those items. The frame is worth scrap metal price.

I picked up an 8 ft. Massey 3 pt. disc at a farm auction about a year ago for $230. The local dealer had bearings and spacers, and was able to order scrapers for it. I found blades at the local farm store. I ended up with about $500 in the disc, but it cuts very well. # cyl
