disk roller

When I was a kid my Dad had an AMY Disc Roller. Made in Amy Ks -- Just west of Dighton.
He went out and sharpened a lot of one-ways and tandem discs around western Kansas.
Thing sure was noisy but one ways sure worked better.
 
We have a couple guys around here in sc nebraska. One guy is really good and the other just wants to sell blades. If the blades have boaron in them they will crack. I think the brand name of the blades were earthtech. I had some of them and they cracked.
 
IIRC, they are talking about "sharpening" the edges of disks on a disc plow, cuts better and farmers use them up until too small (diameter). Supposedly does better compared to not sharpening them, especially on one way disc plows. Never seen it but heard about it here in sw OK (am 43...)

During the late 50’s and early 60’s I called on implement dealers In Oklahoma. The Amy disc roller was very popular it was a set of rolls that were set at a angle to each to form a V that would extrude the outer edge of the disc to sharpen it. The disc blades never had to be removed from the shaft and none of it was ground away. They were terrible noisy as mentioned. gitrib

It's really not "sharpening" like a lawn mower blade, it rolls the blade or "stretches" the blade to a sharp edge. You don't loose any iron to speak of as grinding on them and in turn the blades will last longer. We used to roll our disc every other year. It is a 490 ih and still has the original rear blades but the old girl is in need of new ones now. The disc was bought new in 1975.
