I have a 1948 8N and was looking for a 3 point disc for it. A friend that works at a farm equipment repair store told me that he knows of 2 that are for sale. He said the one is an older 9 foot wide Ford disc that has been shed stored and is in excellent shape. The other is a 6 foot wide that has been sitting out in the weather for years and needs work. He said that the 6 foot has larger disc's and looks to be as heavy as the 9 foot. I have not made arrangements to go see either one as of yet. Would the 9 foot disc be either too heavy to lift or pull with the 8N?
Thank You

Hey John. As you can see from this 1950 ad, the 8N will pull up to a 12' disc harrow, as long as it is single gang; or a 9' spring tooth harrow. One of the disadvantages with these is not being able to get them through some gates.

For a tandem harrow, a 6-footer will work nicely, can be lifted by an 8N and transported through gates and used in tight spaces (between trees, for example).

Hope this helps..... ..... Ed

This is my disc. It is really too big, but the tractor has no problem pulling or lifting it. We have very sandy soil. If the ground is not VERY smooth the front wheels will hang in the air over the low places!

I HAVE A 48 ALSO AND I JUST BOUGHT A NEW 5'-2 GANGE DISC(550lbs) AND IT WORKS GREAT. I COULD HAVE GONE TO 6' NO PROBLEM BUT I WON'T USE IT ENOUGH TO NEED A BIGGER ONE. THEY WILL HANDEL ABOUT A 7' MAX. ANT BIGGER THAN YOU WON'T KEEP THE FRONT WHEELS ON THE GROUND!!!
