Identify This 3PT disc?

npalen · Jul 4, 2015

Can anyone help me with any information on this disc? Particularly interested in approximate weight. Wondering if my 22 HP Kubota B9200 would handle it.TIA

I can't tell you what brand it is, but to me it looks like it could be more than a 22hp tractor would want behind it, even with 4x4 and ag tires. Hard to tell how wide it is in the pic or how much it weighs, but with a 22hp tractor, you probably want to stay about 4 - 4 1/2 ft wide, but that's jmho.

The ad says it's 7' wide. There's no way a 22hp tractor would pull that unless it's so light weight that it wouldn't till the ground anyway. So, in either case, I'd say it's a complete no go.

Not sure of the model, but it's a John Deere disk! I used to have one very similar to it I used with a JD 520 (35 HP)

It would be way too heavy to use on a compact tractor at 7'!

I've seen 5HP per foot as a general minimum. That'd put a 7' disc at 35HP minimum. I think it's probably closer to 40 though, and maybe even 50' with large pans and heavy weight.

Definitely waaaaaay too much disc for your tractor.

Yes I think they were made in mid late 50's and called/known as a JD KBL disc.
