Picked up a disc harrow...

[Turbys_1700]

I picked this harrow up yesterday. I needed a larger one for the 75 and this one came up on Craigslist within driving distance. 10 footer with 9" space between 20" disc. No scrapers but need to replace two of the disc. 3x3 square time with 1-1/8" axle. Don't know the manufacturer. Of anyone has any insight who it might be or have any information on it I would appreciate it.

Agri-Supply has a wide selection of discs if you are looking for replacements.

Yes. I bought a couple for the front. Thought that I would get the disc broken down first then decide which ones to replace. May go ahead and do the fronts. The rears look OK.

Looks like you can fold it for transport. I've seen that before, but I can't recall the brand name. It's not something you see very often in a 3 point disk.

If all you need are blade, most any tractor dealer should be able to find those for you from someone like Becknell. Becknell does not sell to the public. Wholesale only.

How much did you have to give for it? I've been looking for something similar.

I got it for 600. The 3x3 beams appear to be solid stock. I guess it's a pretty old model.

That's a pretty good price. If all you need is two discs and some grease to get her going, you did very well.

A new one built like that one now is a lot of coin. Several thousand dollars easy. It's one of the heaviest mounted used disc I've run across.

I checked last night. The harrow is made out of 3x3 tube wall measured at 3/16". I would like to know the manufacturer to get the specs on it. The owner purchased it at an estate. The estate had another red offset disc that was an Athens. That is what he thought that it was. Could be an older model. Their current line up is made different. Perhaps and old precursor to the current model 55.

Ok - I have to ask. What is the difference between a disc harrow and a disc plow? This one is so heavy with large serrated blades that I would say is a disc plow but where is the line drawn?

$600 is a great price. I would have bought it for that price in a heartbeat. Keep searching the internet and eventually you will find what brand it is.

I don't think there is really a difference. Some people refer to is as a plow and others as a harrow for the same implement.
