Ok guys, I am in the market for a disc. I would like to have either a 8 foot 3 point disc, or a 10 foot trailer type to use with my 3020 gas. The reason I need a 8 foot disc is because I cant move my wheels in on the 3020. The wheels are set at 8 foot wide. Do 3 point disc cut very well? Will I have to add weight to the disc? Will I have any control at all of the front end of the tractor when the disc is out of the ground. Are both types disc hard to come by. I probally wont use a disc over 20 hours or so a year. Here is a picture of my 3020.

Thanks all, for the help! I was hauling 930 Case for a guy today and came across a Oliver 10 foot trailer style disc. He said he would take $50 for it. Kind of hard to turn that down! Thanks again.

real good choice! the blades are a little further apart than on other brands but that is a plus for cutting in better if you use it instead of a plow . like when discing soybean ground for wheat. plus you can find parts thru white and other after market places. around here oliver and kewanee were the brands to have .altho i am fond of my 8' dunham too. good luck with your new disc

i pulled a 10 ' kewanee disc with a straight wd allis. my granfather pulled a 8'jd with a 52 8n. as for finding a disc,look south. the thing with farm equipment is it seems to move south. start with looking around you , then start looking toward more southern places . an old tractor jockey told me this and i have found it to be true.you might even be able to pull a 14 footer with a 3020. most try to pull one size of equipment too big with their tractors.

I use a 8 ft 3 pt disc on a 3010 gas with wide front. I don't have any weights any where on the tractor. The front end has never got light, even with railroad iron weight on the disc. I also have 10 ft john deer wheel disc that does a much better job in open areas.

I'm pulling an 8 1/2 foot with a Farmall 200. It's a heavy 3pt hitch type, and the tractor has a 2pt to 3pt conversion kit on it. It does OK, but there are times the front end is off the ground when the disk is "up"! Need to add front-end weights. Any weight added to the disk to aid penetration just makes the problem worse. Would have liked a wheel type trailer disk instead, but what you find is what you get. The price was right! Believe the wheeled type would give you more consistant depth control.

You can buy a used trailer type disc that raises
with a hydralic cylinder for a lot less money than
a 3 point disc will cost. Both will perform about
the same. For discing small enclosed areas, a 3
pt disc would let you back into tight spaces. If
you intend to use it primarily in open areas, I
would go with the trailer type. Your size JD
should easily handle a 12 foot disc with no
problem. 10 ft trailer type discs in this area
(NE Indiana) are getting hard to find.

I just bought a 7 foot 3 pt disc a month or so ago and use it on a JD 5105 (45 hp). Where I live, southwest of Houston we have some weird ground. It's like gumbo if you know what that is. It's slick and clay like when it's wet and hard as concrete when dry. Right now, it's pretty dry so the disc didn't want to cut it only on one pass. Found out that if I ran over it, let it get rained on, then it was easy to really disc it.
As for the trailer type, I kind of wish I had gotten on of those when I try to hook up the 3 pt to the tractor. The one I got is so heavy, there is no moving it to hook it up. If you get a 8 foot three point, get a heavy one and you shouldn't need to weight it to get some work done.
Good luck,
mee
