Should I buy it?

What would your opinion be and your choice of disk for a sa.

This one does have the optional remote control as well as the touch control.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Not uncommon to see guys discussing pulling more disk than I quoted. Worn out disks pull quite easy, as they are not very effective. I've seen guys buy old disks and they were very little more effective than a roller would be.

What do you use?

Now back to your disk, and this is why I asked about the e mail. Couple of years back, a guy was on YT one evening, owned a Super C, and was shopping for a disk. The only disks he could find in size for Super C, (and he was looking at 24 blade disks), were in the range of $600. to $800., basically new disks. He was also seeing big disks that he could buy for much less money. A neighbor had a 44 blade wheel controled disk. Wanted $100. for the disk.

I first responded, asking what fabrication skills he had, type of welding, grinding, cutting equipment, etc. I soon made up my mind this guy had some decent skills and shop equipment. I then responded back suggesting he buy the 44 blade disk and cut it down to a 24 blade disk. I advised I would guide him through this proceedure. For the next 4 days we each sent two full screen e mails per day, some with photos. Then he started to build, through the weekend I never heard tell of him. By Sun. morning my curiosity was getting the best of me, so I sent an e mail. Still no responce. By noon Sun. I made up my mind things were not going well, he was probably so annoyed with me for talking him into this, that I would never hear tell of him again. On Mon. morning he sent me 3 photos of his new 24 blade working behind his Super C.

Are you game? This guy lived 800 miles from me and we still have never met. I have a photo of that disk on file.

So I guess Im game! At least untill I stumble across something better. I do have a couple other tractors that I know will pull it, its just that I have developed a penchant for these little red guys lately and would like to outfit it well for an acre or 2 garden work. The other 2 tractors (blue & green) are 3 point. All I have for them are mowers, loaders and drags and I know they cant do as well as the SA in the garden. So at this point, anything goes on getting th red one right.

I was the guy who had all the cultivator and plow mounting questions and who just rebuilt the touch control block on a SA.

Ultimatly I would like for it to perfrom as well as the one in the book and be able to lift it. I dont have any front weights though so I will have to see how the weight issues work out.

The benefits you get with cutting down a large disk are usually 18" blades, sealed bearings, heavier bearings, gang bolts, spacers and disk blades. The one the guy built from 44 blade disk had 4 bearings per gang. He wasn't sure whether he would build another 20 blade mounted disk or keep blades an bearings for spares. He made the 24 blade disk he built a trailer with hydraulic lift. I told him that with all that heavy gear he will probably never need spares, so he may as well put together another disk and sell it.

If you wish send me an e mail, I will send a photo of that disk and one of my factory one point disk. I think you will find that one point disk will be quite similar to disk in your SA book.
