I have both, and I prefer the pull type - wheel disk for results. It seems to level better, and cut (dig) better. With the wheels, it will also float better, keeping the depth of cut more uniform. Manuvering is not a problem, if your drawbar is far enough behind the tractor rear wheel line. I can turn awfully short with mine. If your tongue and the tractor drawbar are set properly, the disk will run pretty much level, front to back.
Three point hitch disk is heavy enough that I have a 200# rock mounted on front of tractor just to keep the front wheels on the ground in transport situations. You will need to adjust your top link just right to get even penetration front to back. I find that I want to add extra weight to the 3pt disk to keep the rear gang cutting deep enough. This just adds to the front-rear weight problem. Trying to steer the tractor when front wheels are bouncing along or off the ground can be an adventure! Haven't needed to add weight to the pull-type. Unless your 3pt has a float position, you will also experience problems when you drive over uneven hills and valleys in your fields. But if you're floating the disk, then you don't really have good control of the depth and penetration. Not all of us are blessed with table-top fields.

Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
