Disc for cultivation

I am looking at putting two small gangs of disc underneath a small 25-30 hp tractor to cultivate with. I would like to use gangs with about three 10" discs. My theory is that the disc will cut up the tilth and not get clooged up with it like sweeps do. Has anbody ever had any experience with anything like this ? Thoughts ? Suggestions ?

Back in the '50s & '60s we raised potatoes, and used disk blades on the cultivator for hilling them. We ran the cultivator blades nearest the rows very shallow, more to lift the foliage, then the disk came in place of the second shank, and pushed the dirt against the plants, and then remaining blades leveled the area between the rows. Worked real well for that purpose. This was on a Deere front mounter cultivator. Deere made these blades to fit in place of the cultivator shanks. Don't know if you could find them now.

My clay soils would get kinda wet to rely on this - disks plug up for me a lot quicker than shovels in wet soil.

On the IH 300 front mount cultivator dad replaced the inner shovel with disk blade on a shank, had to drive slow & accurate, but cut through a lot of stuff.

Years ago there was a bunch that made that type cutivators to fit a Farmall.

I think it was Planet Jr that made them but I could'nt find their product list on line.

You could build a set up from a Catagory 0 set of disc like the old Sears or Bradleys.

They have 2 sections of 3 X 12" disk blades. Just build a A-frame to fit your lift and spread the disk sections far enough apart to straddle the row.

Be sure you turn the inner disk blade around backwards on the shaft to the others so that it won't be too aggressive on the row beds.

And you need to use smooth finish disk blades instead of the scallop blades.

It does a lots better job than sweep cultivators and you can run along at a faster ground speed.

Another option is if you can find and old disk hiller plow all you would have to do is turn the inner disk blades around backwards and adjust the sections to straddle the row right, you might have to remove a couple of the outter blades to narrow it down to fit your middles, the pins are cat-1 and would fit your 3 point already.

Didn't Lilliston make something like that? I think it was sold under the AC name for a while. It had wheels with slicer tines instead of disk blades, but intended to accomplish the same thing.
