I have an older neighbor who has asked me to post a "Wanted to Buy" ad for an eight or ten disc "bog harrow". I'm not familiar with the implement, but he says it is similar to a regular disc, but heavier duty and will work good in clay. Does anyone have any more info for me? I posted the ad last week for him and he has had no responses as of yet

Saw several for sale at the Godley Auction Company acution in Orangeburg, SC the first week in January. This auction company has a web site that list equipment for sale the week prior to each sale. Sales usually occur about every week somewhere in NC/SC.

We used to pull them with dozers all the time. The only problem is you can only disc with half of it at a time. It throws all the dirt to the outside
so if you move over a full width each pass you end up with the roughest field you ever saw. You have to let one half cover up the ditch you made on the first pass.

"Bush and Bog" That was the name of the disk.
Used to be a lot of them in this area when I was a Kid. I haven't seen one in years, guess they all got cut up and made in to rebar!

Shep (maybe I could use this vs offset harrows or disk plow?)

Bama -
This sounds like an interesting implement. I am currently 'working thru' whether to buy a disk plow or offset harrows (not tandem) to turn an old stump field.

Pls post any future results.
Thanks,
shep

As an opportunity presents, I'll take a picture of the 'bog' or 'box' harrow I have and try and find a place to post it.

I don't think it would ride over a stump though... it might go through one !

I've got one of those out in the back 40 where
my Uncle parked it on a hillside about 40 years ago.

I'll have to drag it up the hill some day and see if anything still turns.

There was a mfr's name welded in the
box frame.. can't remember what it
was now.

I think shipping from N. California
to Alabama might be a bit steep though...

Where are you in NC? My neighbor's farm is in Washburn, Tn, which is just about 2-3 hours west of Ashville, NC. If you are in that general area, it might not be too far to come pick up.

We're about a continent apart..

I'm in Northern California.. not Carolina ! ...about 1/4 mile from the Pacific Ocean and 50 miles South of the Oregon border... and 3,000 miles (give or take 500) from Alabama.

Now you have me curious about that bog harrow.. I'll have to go out there and look at
that mfg's id welded into the frame.

If it doesn't rain too much this week I might drag it up the hillside and see if anything still turns...

He used to grow beets on that NE 20.. that he chopped and mixed with silage.. but he gave up on dairying in the early 60's... so that disk has been parked since then.

I'm not sure why he left it there in the first place... possibly just never got around to dragging it back in... he left it in a bad spot,
I'll have to pull it up the hill with a chain.

At that time I recall he had a Ferguson 35 and had had just (proudly) acquired a Ferguson that had 'Big 40' emblazoned on the hood. I was just a little s_it back then and fondly recall sitting his lap as I got to 'drive' the new tractor.
(well I got to steer anyway)

best regards

Yep they called them "bush and bog" disc around me. They are a heavy duty framed and axles with scallop disc all the way through, you loaded old concrete or car engine blocks up on them for extra weight and they worked good.

We always used them in new grounds and on heavy stubble grounds.

I can't help on finding any of them. I have'nt seen many of these disc since everybody went to offset gangs and more hoss power tractors and government farming.
