[AT] Disk Plow or One-Way Plow

[charlie hill]

Ouch, Cecil you hurt my feelings.  I've been looking for one of those 9' 
Snap Coupler disc for
years.  Of course it would cost too much to get it to NC from OK so I guess 
I'll forgive you and
your dad for butchering it up.  grins.  Actually that 9 foot disc is too big 
for what I need.  I really
would like to have the 6 1/2 foot version of it.

Glad you got some rain.  If you do run the Roto-tiller aren't you at some 
risk of causing
what soil moisture you have to evaporate?  Just my opinion but I'd run it at 
the last minute
before I sowed the field.

Well, Saturday morning, woke up to rain!!!!!!!   Weatherman forecast 1/2
inch and we received a little over 2 inches.  There was not very much
runoff thank goodness.
  While checking on my cattle, I found an old 9ft. Allis Disk that was
once a snap coupler that Dad & I modified to 3 point.  We never had much
luck with it on our smaller tractors, and it was cast off in the
grass.   It had been there over 25 years.   Yesterday I hooked it up to
the NH TS110 and found 2 JD wheel weights to put on each side.  It was
about 16 inch disks, with sealed bearings.  The adjustable link from the
top link to the rear of the disk stripped out after about 4 hours
running, but I welded a nut on it and went back to work.    We used to
pull this disk with our 36hp diesel, now pulling it with a 110 hp was
really hilarious.   However, I double disked it, and it really did a
decent job down about 4 inches.  It did better than that One-Way I
bought.   ( Wife was sure to point that out, OUCH!!)  I now have the
wheat field disked up waiting on additional moisture.   Ran may not
happen until Friday here, so I may try something else.   Since we got
the moisture and it soaked in, I was thinking about the 8 ft
Roto-Tiller.  It would get the soil ready to sow, and then next year I
could run the Big Ox V-Plow.   I definitely will get the 2470 Case ready
by next year....
