10 foot offset disk

[Gary Fowler]

I bought the disk, good bad or ugly. It has 24" stubbles on the front and 24" smooth on the rear. I have used a 9' offset drag with 20s all around and it pulled it like going through butter in 4x4. With the gauge wheels isn't up to the operator to set depth so you don't over work the tractor?

YEP, that is what the carry wheels are for, to set the depth of cut to some extent. You can also load up the wheels with ballast fluid to add weight to the disk if you need it. Some disk with 4 each 11:00x16 tires would put a lot of weight on the disk when fully retracted. You can also get clamp on spacers to put on the hydraulic lift cylinder to set the depth so it is constant without guessing at it each time.

It's usually not the first pass across the field that really strains the tractor as a lot of times you are not getting as much penetration in hard packed soil, but on the second pass your tractor is in loose soil and the offset harrow is now really getting penetration and it lets you know that it's back there. I usually use an Athens 8' or 9' offset I can't remember the width for sure with 24" disc blades, I use it to get my winter rhye pasture ready after summer millet and it will be hard packed from the cows grazing on it all summer, so the ground is to either turn with a plow or bust open with an offset disc and then finished up by running over it with a leveling harrow and a good drag.

Here's one at 992lbs per disk. Can be had in 9'-12' working widths. Something tells me that your tractor isn't quite enough.

I think 50HP would pull it okay..............

I'm not so sure that it could stop it though, at about 20,000lbs that could be a run away. I suppose if you had lift control you could drop the disks.
