I currently have a 6' disk and would like something larger. I have a70hp front wheel assist NH tractor that weighs around 7,000lb. What size disk could I go with. It's mainly for food plots and oats fields. Also when it's time to plant my oats this fall will I need to shred the summer plots down than disk or can I skip the shredding. Thanks

I was about to comment on size. Read title wrong lol
All seriousness, since I'm trying to find something for my 56E as well -
I would say 8' give or take depending on the weight and type of disc.
Check with Kelly Mudd up in Hallettsville or Heilegman in Charlotte.
You might call and ask them let you know when they get new inventory that would fit your needs.

I would say 8 foot would be the max. We always add weights on small disk like these to get a little deeper.Comment

I have a 71 hp tractor with a 8 ft disc. The tractor weights a little over 10,000
lbs with all the wheel weights I have added on my 16.9 wide tires. Still, where the soil is sandy in my field traction is a problem if you try to disc at max. depth. Dual wheels would really help. In the clay type soil in my field traction is no problem. So basically in the sand I run out of traction before I run out of power. Still, I can disc fairly well in the sand just not at max depth as I would like. I think 8 ft should be your max size if you are in a very sandy area.Comment

I have a 7 ft disc with weights added. My tractor is a 2wd 71HP Massey Ferguson and it will pull it no problem, gangs straight or angled. Got to lift it a little when making turns. Bought mine from Dietz Tractor in Seguin.
