Allis Chalmers b Disc

We have an 8ft that the B couldn't begin to do much with. Pulled it with a D-14 and it had its hands full most of the time. I agree 5-6ft max. This is on a tandem. Single may be different.
 

It all depends on the disc. The best choice for a pull type disc without wheels would be a 6 foot. A 7 or 8 foot disc will also work if used correctly. Just because the disc can be set to a wide angle does not mean it was meant to be used that way in all conditions. The disc was designed and manufactures way before tractors. A 6 foot disc was used to make very good seed beds with a team of horses. My first tractor work in a field at eight years old was on a C Allis Chalmers pulling an Oliver 8 foot disc. The very same one I restored and is in the picture. I was taught to set the disc according to the conditions. Recognizing conditions comes with not recognizing conditions and readjusting to them.

I pull a 6' Howse 3 pt tandem disc, with my 52 Allis B, and usually a 10' spike toothed harrow dragging behind that. It all depends on conditions, and how aggressive the disc is angled.
 
We always pulled a 6 ft. tandem IHC disc with our '48 Allis B. It was just a good load for it and could handle the disc set to full angle in 2nd gear. Lots of times we pulled a 7 ft. cultipacker behind the disc too. The Allis had 10 x 24 tires, loaded, with one set of wheel weights. Smaller tires. not loaded, no weights might be a bit different.
