They will churn up the soil for sure, especially if there is a little moisture in the ground.

Takes a little HP to pull one though if you work it deep.

We pull ours with an old 230hp(engine rated hp) Versatile 835.


I'll be going pretty deep. Probably make a couple of passes on that guy's hay field.

Roger on the moisture!

From what I can gather, a rule of thumb is 10hp per 1 foot of width on the offset disc.... 10' o/s disc = 100hp tractor to pull it.

I believe you are right for the finish work.

I have a ridged harrow that should finish it great, after the offset.

Can I rent that harrow? I could get some use outta that.

If you take the time it takes, it takes less time.
