OK Dave , Up until now I've been to timid to ask this question . But you brought it up . What's the difference between the offset and tandem disks ? On the oliver 263 I'm looking at the blades are about 18" , have a shallow dish and are spaced 9-10" apart . All I want to do is knock things around some to smooth the hay fields after I plow . I made the mistake of deep primary tillage on grass with a big bladed disk last fall . What a mess ! I've since bought a plow and still need to learn how to use it . All this is just for fun not for profit . I make 6 acres of hay for my wifes 5 horses . Hopefully I can get a couple acres of the lower pasture cleared of rocks and plant that to grass also . It's got what I call iceberg rocks in it . They've never been removed in the hundred years this place has been around so I'm guessing that that's the reason , iceberg rocks . About 3-4 foot diameter rocks on the surface that have their widest part somewhere under ground like an iceberg in the ocean . If I disk after I plow I don't need to go more than a couple inches deep just to smooth it all out . Thanks ! Take care ...Randy
