Sure looks nice, you should get a very good stand. What do you plant for CRP?
How was the harrow attached to the disk?
I would like to find a nice kewanee disk someday for my WD, I now have a fergesen 8 ft 3 pt hitch disk, it works ok.

Thanks!
I planted a blend of native warm season grasses and forbs. Big bluestem, switchgrass, indiangrass, purple prairie clover and IL bundle flower.
The harrow hangs off the top and front of the disc where it is attached, and lifts with the disc.

Thanks Wdforty5! I sure like to see the old girls working! You are right, who needs expensive equipment to get the job done. So many seen to think so. I enjoy the old equipment alot. Cultipackers sure do a nice job, but they are expensive and hard to find around here
