I have a chance to buy either a Ford 12' or an IH 37 12" disk. Both have cylinders, but the Ford is in better overall shape.I cannot find anything about a Ford disk, but eyeballing the two, the Ford appears heavier made. Price on the Ford is $500, while the IH is $600. Keep me out of trouble and tell me which would be the better cutter, etc. of the two. They would be pulled with an 75 HP 4WD Deere 5420. Thanks

I'd say go with the Ford. I have had the oppurtunity to use a couple different disks and I like the job a heavier disk does (less passes to get the job done. If your soil is real stony then I'd suggest going with a rock flex disk that has the gangs mounted on spring steel so that it has some give to it instead of a ridgid design. Best disk I've used so far is a 12' set made by Sunflower and they were rock flex, real nice trouble free harrows so far, and we've even hooked chains to the frame and pulled out stuck tractors, thats how rugged they are, but those might be more than your tractor could handle as they were very heavy, but did a pretty nice job.

I am guessing that is in the range depending on your area of country, I know around here a good 37 will bring that at auction, never seen one of the Fords, a IHC 37, 9' in top condition will bring up to $1,000

personally neither one would be my choice so i am not going to comment on which one but as far as parts either should be able to get parts readily. blades through shoup, bearings through motion industries or the like, axles any local machine shop. as far as rocks, meavier is better. i have some ground behind a gravel pit thats real rocky (they have tried to expand the pit but county board wont let them) they key to rocky ground is going slow and buying quiality blades.

Here in Ontario , Ford discs were made by White. No problem getting parts. White (Cockshutt)were good disks.

Ex father in law had a Ford disk, it appeared to be built heavy, but had a nasty habit of breaking disk blades. I think the IH disk would be much easier to find parts for when you need them, and you will eventually need some.

Does anyone like Shoup parts for Ford disks? Do you think the extra weight caused the disks to break?

Any rigid disc and I know the Ihc is a rigid disc, not sure about the Ford but think it is also rigid will have trouble with breaking blades if you have any rocks that it will want to lift the disc with one blade, the more rocks with more weight means more breaking of blades but weight means better cutting in hard ground
