Normal "tandem" disc size for a 450 should be 12' to 15' depending on your soil. For an "offset" disc like the one in the picture, more like an 8' due to the deeper depth they will work. I agree that the 5' with a packer would be more of a construction or landscaper implement. as to why someone is working your field with it, maybe that's what he had available. Wheat farmers pack the soil behind a disc so when they go over the ground with their tractor and drill, the tractor doesn't leave as deep of tracks and the soil makes better contact with the seed. Also if you get a rain after drilling the wheat, it will not wash as bad and possibly need re-seeding.
