I am looking for a small disc for my Ford 860. I would prefer a 3pt but was wondering which is better? I know that with a pull type I will have to lift it over roads ect. But it won't get alot of use so I don't want to tie alot of money in it. Is one type cheaper than the other. Thanks For any Input.

I have had both types. I have 20 acres to play with so 3 points are a little small. My preference is a pull type wheel disc that is raised and lowered by a hydraulic cylinder. Prices are about the same for used in my area, the only disadvantage of the pull discs is it is more difficult to back them up if you are working in a tight area.

That's right Lazyhorse.

Another thing is that I get a lots better ground penetration and a finer-smoother job with a pull type. The 3 points no matter how much weight I put on it will not disk as deep or smooth the ground as good as a wore out pull type.

I am going to get a 3-point tiller for my 860 because the 3-point disk takes forever to do a good job.
I am not going to use the tiller without plowing first, the 860 is probably too fast for a tiller on virgin soil.
Anyone use a tiller with an 860?

Sounds like a good plan to me by plowing it first. You would tear the crap out of the tiller if you took it out first. The tiller makes a fine seedbed in only 2 passes.

the one advantage to the 3pt type is when your in soft ground. the pull type only lift so high especialy when the disc wheels follow in the tractor ruts. the 3pt type lift up high and put traction where you need it. helps if you tend to get stuck now and then

Pull-Types (the ones that are just dragged everywhere and don't use a cylinder) go for dirt cheap around here. Say a 5 to 10 footers go for beetween $50-$100. If you or a buddy of yours is good with a welder it is possible to save money and convert a pull-type to 3-point. I did this with a planter. Just make sure that you get your depth right so you can get the disk blades all the way to the ground. I have a 10' pull-type with a cylinder, like it better than 3pt.
