I sure see a lot of farmers disking at that speed. This was for a friend here in Kansas in the '70s & '80s and was on wheat stubble, not plowed ground. He had at various times, a Case 1030, 970 & 1070, M-F 1155 and the JD 4640 when I helped him. I suspect what we are dealing with here is a difference in farming practices in different parts of the country on different crop land. As a kid in Iowa, we didn't disk that fast with the JD 60s and 10' disks... no way a 60 would pull a 10' disk that fast unless there was no angle on the gangs.
My wife's cousin that recently bought her land near Greensburg, KS (that tornado formed almost over her property but didn't hit her irrigation circle) does not even own a piece of tillage equipment any more... he farms several irrigated quarters of corn and beans, all no-till. Takes all the fun out of farming IMO.

The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
