Rust On Disc

I wanna get the rust off this little disc so darned bad I'm a dancin' sideways like a girl at the prom, but the fields are just too stinkin' wet yet.

Oh well, I've waited 23 years, guess I can wait another three or four more days.

Sure glad I'm done swappin' tractor tires tho! Whew, what a job that turned out to be! :>)

Yes Sir, they sure are. I haven't seen a disc on plowed ground since the late 40s.

For many years, we followed the plow with the spike toothed harrows with a leveler, then later the packers. Have yet to see anything compare to that plow/packer combination for this area.

Thanks for the hollar,

I'm gonna plant this 70 acre patch of wheat stubble into alfalfa. I've even got a wild hair going on to plow up another 65 acres of sod and drop in some winter wheat if the prior owners will move their hay stacks off.

I almost think we have had enough moisture to let it work.

Yep, once it is in your blood, it is there to stay, I guess.

Allan

Little guy oughta handle 70 acres, hadn't it? If I get a bigger disc, it would cut down on my tractor time. That 'taint no fun. :>)

Yeah, I know. I know where there is a bigger one setting, but I'd just like to run this one after I got it all fixed up.

Allan

I've got a 14' packer coming to follow the plow in the sod. That'll sure bring 'er to her knees; fact is, don't even know if the 686 will pull it or not.

In years gone by, I pulled my old packer with a 766D and it just worked the snot out of that tractor.

This little disc is sure gonna be fun in the stubble tho. Might even hook the little H to the old grain drill just fer spite too. :>)

Allan

That otter make that 310 set up and take notice. I pulled a 15"MF with a beat up bar harrow on behind with my 706 ger. 4 and low and TA up. Sure coulda used them dualls. You will probably have to disk it twice anyway.

That's exactly how I plan to do it.

Gonna hit 'er twice at different angles and plant it at a third angle cross-wise to the prevailing winds.

Disc might be small, but I have a feelin' it is gonna make that old tractor dance fer her supper, just the same.

Allan

That's why I'm gonna pin the little H up to that grain drill. Talk about steppin' back in time 40 years!

I am so darned fortunate that I am able to do this thing "for fun" and I know the neighbors are probably shakin' their heads and thinkin' I need to be locked away somewhere.

But, I don't care. I wanna go back to that old way of doing things. :>)

Allan

Dont overspeed the drill. I did that sowing rye and wrecked the press wheels. But a couple tow chains and a 4x4 post tied to the back of the drill worked just fine.
