[AT] country disc well grounded

[Larry D Goss]

I have seen that design before, Farmer, but it was a long time ago at some 
place like Pioneer Village in Minden, Nebraska.  It's reminiscent of the 
50's era when both International Harvester and John Deere had elaborate 
mechanisms on their tandem disks so they would turn corners without raising 
a big berm at the end of the field.  We weren't hydraulically empowered 
enough in those days to think in terms of mounting the whole disk on rubber 
so you didn't have to worry about tearing up things as you turned or while 
traveling between fields.
