We had a JD disk like that - called them a disk tiller. Ours was a 4 foot cut, had 5 blades, and blades were about 18 inches in dia. Wheels were cast, and two (furrow and rear) were so heavy they were constructed in pieces and bolted together. Whan you pushed the hydraulic lever, that thing was goin' down! Was all our JD B wanted to pull, but made short work of even the toughest sod. The second trip across the field, crossways of the first was always an adventure, with the tractor wheels constantly rolling over the furrows of sod. Sorry my dad sold it - sure would like to have it now!

Mitch, they have always been called "One Way Discs" in my part of the world. They did an excellent job on sod and wheat stubble. We used to always one way our wheat stubble after it had sat for a month or so after combining, it turned any weeds down that were coming along, then later in the fall we would plow. They were great, I had a Massey but I hit a large stone one afternoon and really turned it into scrap metal, was going to be more than it was worth to repair, I got $150 from a scrap dealer for it, $50 more than I paid for it....Mike in Exeter Ontario

Never had it all the way in the ground yet, just tried it in the front yard where no grass is growing, once it caght a little sod, then she come over quick! And Cowman, My M will pull ANYTHING! You would be suprised how good it trails down the road, it'll go 5th gear on the assphalt full throttle, i told alan to slow down.

Mitch: What you have there is a harrow plow or a One Way as Allan suggests. They have one thing in common with a disk harrow, that being a single arbor bolt going through a series of disk blades. The Disk Plow has single disk blades mounted on induvidual plow beams similar to a moldboard plow.

IH produced the harrow plow from 1927 through to 1962. From what I am reading, looks like they were built in 5 to 14 disk models. Couple of different disk spacings as well. The last model IH built was 14 disk, 24" blades and 10" spacing, that was built from 1959 to 1962 and only 488 units were built. So if they produced 488 in the last 3 years there are likely thousands of them around.

These harrow plows were pioneered in Austrailia 20 years before they were introduced here in North America. It doesn't say IH was in that Austrailian market.

What is the purpose of a disk plow? (I know it ain't for peeling apples!) Is there a type of ground they're more suited for than a moldboard?

Disk plows do the same thing as a moldboard, they invert the soil and bury residue. We had an H/M 150 3 disk semi-mounted "breaking plow" on our H. Since the disks turn, it makes the 2 plow H into a 3 plow. I am originally from south Texas, very common in that area and other parts of the south. They cannot be used in as wet a soil as can a moldboard, as the disks don't scour as well. They are better suited for drier soils, but if the soil is too dry they don't penetrate very well.

That's what I kind of remembered from some literature I've read. Boy, those sure would be some "yakkin' material" around where I'm from.

You know what? I'm not really sure, but fom other pics i have seen, they seem to be used in swammpy area's, like rice fields. And for putting down heavier stubble like wheat.

Here in the South, maybe elsewhere, they're often called "new ground" plows. The idea being that you'd less likely damage one on roots & stumps than you would moldboards. I used a three disc one that I pulled with a 350D to turn the ground where we had cleared a bunch of small planted pines. It would roll those little stumps over and cut them right up.

FM,

We call those things "One-Ways" out here. They are all over the place. Dry landers used 'em to turn under wheat stubble.

I have heard them called one ways to. They might be more common in the states then they are here in canada, the might have more out west. It is heavy, we were worried that it woulndt come back up!
