8n Discing

Anyway, it makes for tough pulling in sandy conditions(my 8N does not have loaded tires). Great penetration if you have lots of trash to cut thru.

About like the one I gave away that I bought in the beginning (20 something years ago) that didn't do anything but burn gas, and roll around on the ground.

What's that on the right behind the tree?

I've got some video using the disk back in late winter, but don't have a site to upload it. With the weight on it penetration is great.

The implement behind the tree is a nine-shank tiller. Here's a better pic:

Not sure who made it, or when, but the design is just about identical to the Dearborns & Fergusons.

replacement c tines available from kraftimplement.com

tryin again

Sorry I was so slow. By the time I answered your email you had it figured out.

well up here in da Nort...anyway, my 78 year father told me it is a quacker. why? well i guess i'll have to ask him that but that is what they are called around here anyway. they work like the dickens. ever hear of peanut butter and banana sandwiches?

here is a pic of the sweet corn, planted rt to lft then middle. each 1 week apart. in wisconsin, if the corn is knee high by the 4th of July it is a good year. well this corn is up to my hip(old pic) and i am 6'2"

Gary

thanks for the compliments on the rig.
i certainly don't know what i would do without that quacker. i originally put an ad in the paper for a scraper blade. a guy called so we went to look at one. he "mentioned" a quacker in the weeds so i went to look but didn't show much interest. walked away. then went back 5 mins. later and he said he would take $35 for it and it included the top link. i said ok. i gave the top link to my brother cuz i had one already.
sometimes you find deals and sometimes not. kraft implement has the "C" tine replacements. i need two.
i also paid $250 for a dearborn "economy" plow with coulters and scrapers. that plow was hardly ever used. works great. i only need my own disc now and they are very hard to find. the 8n is sprayed silver on the tin which i don't like but since the motor rebuild this spring i am thinking of painting the whole thing now.

i uploaded two pictures to photobucket. i tried to copy the url link, html tag and img code into the message and that didn't show the photo on a message i left. i also tried these in the optional link url, link title and optional image url below here and none work.
whats up?

Quacker on my 49 8n.

This is a cow pasture that has never been tilled before. Now I am growing some pumpkins in there for the kids to sell.

what a quacker does is it pulls clods of root or whatever else you have in the soil up to the surface so that it can be cut with the disc.
if you ever find one, buy it. i got my dearborn with adjustable c tines for $35. the guy offered it for that and I said ok. some go for $250 or better(when they know what they have).
aggressive is putting the disc's at 45 degress angles. if i could ever figure out how to post a pic on this forum i would show you a quacker.

we had a beef farm years ago. the cow pasture was NEVER EVER used for a garden. cows were gone 22 years ago so it went wild with whatever grew.
i plowed it, disced it and quacked it. all last year. this year i quacked it and disced it again. there are no weeds in there. i decided to plant pumpkins in that loamy soil along with sweet potatoes. the pumpkins are growing like wild fire and would love to post a pic of it, but i don't know how.

so in short, if you find a quacker...buy it. they rip up the ground pretty good.

Any chance this is what you're talking about?

Jeff

Here is the pic.

Arthur; Is this what you call a "Quacker"??? This is not a quacker, or what ever you call it!!. This is a spike harrow used to drag the fields, and break up the clumps, and remove "Quack Grass" roots, and clump grass from a plowed field. Never heard of a "QUACKER". Been around farms and ranches all my life.
Show me the "Quacker"!!!

Gary

He says "c tines".

I think he is talking some kind of cultivator.

Gary

LMAO

Gary

I still want toknow about that too!!

Then upload the pics there, then copy and paste what is in the "HTML Tag" there into the message on the old board here, I think you can use the one in the "IMG Code" box for the new Modern Forums.

I hope that helps, I would love to see the pics.

you may have to disc the heck out of it and then quack it to pull up the sod chunks(works much better for a weed free garden). after discing and quacking, i would then disc at least 3 more times. maybe even quack some more.
set the disc to aggressive.

just a lil ways from the s.c. state line.

so yes, i am related to ALOT of Ward's down there yander.
