There are a lot of factors in that question. What kind of disk, what size of blades, how good of shape are the blades in, what is your ground like and how much ground do you plan to cover. Here is an example. I have a 10' JD disk with smaller blades that my 560 will pull in 3rd and 4th gear. I also have a 12' IH disk with 18" blades that I pull with the 706 in low 4th on the same ground. I could probably wieght the 560 down to pull the disk, but as it is it would not pull it in my current conditions. Plus, I don't feel like disking in 2nd gear. Anything from a good M to a 706 should do depending on the above factors.
