Help Identifying A Couple 3-Point Implements!

[wirlybird]

Hi all,

A friend has these and is going to sell so I'd like to try to identify the brand, etc. and maybe a value.
One is what looks like a 3 foot box blade. Quite heavy duty and in good shape.
The other is a small disc, maybe a few feet wide, and also seems in decent shape.
Thanks.

Can you read anything from that little plaque ?

Looks like tuffline, or Monroe Tuffline. Disc is an offset disc. Tuffline box blades had that type of hitch. Their stuff was yellow also. But, just a guess.

Nope, worn smooth.

In surprised that little box blade is cat1, but it looks like it is. Cat0 would have all 3 holes be 5/8”. That one looks more like the 7/8” bottom, 3/4” top which is cat1. I have never seen a cat1 box blade so narrow. It does look built well!

It is Cat 1 and it is also very heavy.
It was suggested it was cut down from a larger one but it really doesn't look like it.
Very odd one.

The narrow Disc Harrow looks like it was cut down too.

Note: 1) box frame 2) notched front but smooth rear pans. (discs)

3) The pipe may be the attachment point for a drag chain harrow.

What a lot of work!

When i saw the pipe my first thought was “ho cool the previous owner must i’ve place a bunch of gym weights on there “ i think that’s a better explanation then a tie off point.

why do you say the disk harrow was cut down ? i don’t see any evidence that would indicate that ?

Entirely possible, even likely. However, supplemental weight would be more effective located over the front row of pans which are notched for cutting/penetration, rather than the rear row of pans, which are smooth, therefore tend to roll rather than displace soil.
