We used to pull a 12' Ford disk with our Farmall 400 and it pulled just fine in the hills. Of course this Ford disk was a fairly light duty model.

I would suggest, if you can find one, a 12' IH 37 or 370 pull-type disk. They are great disks and parts are still available I believe.

3 point and other "fully mounted" disks are generally pretty light and don't do as good a job as their big brothers. A seven foot behind a 560 would look rather puny and might evoke some snide comments from "green people" about your tractor's lack of power! A hydralic trailer tandem disk is what you want (10-14') unless you are just doing garden plots. And if you are why use a 560? You need to buy a 300 Utility. Good luck, Dick

I still use a 14' offset behind my Super Cub. It's a little tough getting thru gates with it.

Zac you need to look for a 14 foot for a 560, I pull a 10 foot with my MD. I look for a pull type wheel disk I think the weight of 14 foot three point will be to much for a 560.

Most small three points I've seen were way too light to do useful work. I don't think I've ever seen a 6 or 7' factory made pull behind. I made one for my MF-135 from a 12 foot Oliver. Made it into an offset disk and with the big frame its heavy enough to penetrate the ground. I could be talked out of it since I have gone to a JD4020 for field work. I'm in the middle of Iowa.
