Allan In NE used to live 1/2 mile down the road from me. He grew up on, and operated a gravity/flood irrigated farming operation, and knows what he's talking about. His is your simplest and easiest solution to what you want to do. Just set the rear gangs on your tandem disc to throw maximum dirt to the center, angle your disc back so those rear gangs are doing all of the work, and go to it. If you're working in tough sod pasture, you might have to make twenty passes to get the ground loosened up, and a border built, but it will work. You may want to just make multiple passes with your disc running level to start with, to work that sod up, and create some loose dirt, then crank the disc back, and go to making your border. In my experience, you'll have a hard time building usable borders with a 3 point blade on the back of a Ford tractor. It's kind of precision work if you want water to run right, and pretty tough not to cut and gouge, and end up with to many high and low spots. A disc won't do that. You can also pretty easily and cheaply build an outfit like Chuck in CA has pictured, with any kind of an old Cat 1 tool bar and some old disc parts. If you're going to be doing much of this, it would be a worthwhile project and investment. There's been hundreds of them built and used in this area over the years, they work great for building borders, and also for closing ditches, if that's how you convey your irrigation water. Good luck!! :wink:

My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
