Disc

3 point disc, got in a deal, how much are these worth?
3 disc of 4 one set missing, weighs a ton.

Scrap iron price.
When replacing the missing discs be sure to measure the diameter of the existing disc to match.
Typically these need a lot of added weight to dig in and require some hp to pull.
I have a set of Towner discs. 50-70 yrs old with steel transport wheels. I added a 55 gal barrel of water to make it dig in.
I gave $400 for it in working condition. Then I replaced the hand crank with a cylinder to raise and lower the wheels.

Thx, asking 250 since I'll never use it

It's not a few discs missing, but one whole gang. Needs the frame, bearings, axels, and all. It's unusable as is, seems to me.

I'd say scrap iron price for sure.

Towner discs are pretty good. We have a huge set that weighs 4000 pounds and we pull it with a small dozer for forestry site preparation.

It is usable if you remove the single rear gang. Someone would give $200 to use it for a food plot, and sell that rear gang for whatever you can get for it.

Hate to be a downer, but I sold one just like that, no missing parts, in really good condition, for $350

Took forever to sell, guy that finally bought it, didn’t even have a tractor, thought he could pull it with his utv

 

[airbiscuit]

As compared to this.

I don't know who would pay that for that !? But they deserve what asked for. Maybo OP should cut his in half and double the price?
Anybody who has used a disc knows they do not naturally sink into the ground and produce tilled soil. They need added weight and multiple rows opposed angled cutters to produce of anything in terms of tilling.

If I needed it for a parts volunteer I'd give you ... $40 Kanuckistan money.
But not before seeing it up close.

The astute buyer will pay more for a complete disc. I still say there's a pretty good chance that someone will say, for $200 I can scratch up a food plot on my hunting land. Take off that rear gang and put a bunch of weight on it, and it will be functional,

It's cheaper than this

 

[airbiscuit]

Let us know how your effort at selling it goes.

Remove the back gang, add it on top for weight, and call them spare plates.

Then weld on 2 inch receiver with a removable towbar for a 4 wheeler to pull.

Finally hit it with Red rattle can paint...

Re-list it on Marketplace at $600 as "Custom Food Plot Disc with spare plates for tractor or ATV".

With an hour's worth of work, somebody will give you $500 after some easy negotiation...

Seriously!

A friend's farm had a Ford one they weren't using and gave to me, since I have Fords. I gave them a case of beer as a thank you.

I bought a 6 ft disk similar to that about 20 years ago from my JD dealer. It was branded “Agrevere” and I’m pretty sure it was built by Howse Implements. I never liked it as it is too light and any gang adjustment beyond #2 position resulted it the tractor crabbing severely to the left.

The 3-point hitch was the worst thing to ever happen to a disk. Pull type ones work much better. I agree that it’s worth scrap iron price, however you likely could get at least double that if you cut off the extra back gang neatly, to make it look like it was supposed to be that way.

Double gang row 3-point disks work like crap anyhow, and a single row one would be worse yet, however the uninformed buyers wouldn’t know that, and often pay crazy money for any deer “food plot” equipment.

I’ve got a complete one just about like that, and I haven’t used it in about 10 years (mostly because I also have an 8 ft and a 6 ft pull type, one on each property (about 20 miles apart), where I have food plots.

The only time I liked or used the three point one, was when I had another property between those two, and used to transport it over the road with my tractor. I only liked it while transporting on the road, as it never worked very good, when I got it into the ground.

I only keep, it in case a neighbor ever wants me to work some land for them. I don’t have much time for that now but I may, after I retire from my factory day job, in a few more years.
