About 12'. One at a consignment auction coming up. Its adjustable as far as changing the angle of the blades. Blades are good. One disk axle is loose. Looks like the nut needs tightened up and a spot of weld to hold it solid. Yes its a light disk its not a 2500 or 2600 AC which I'd rather have. But the only thing I need it for is to cover up wild flower seed for the bees to make honey. Thanks guys.

Was just gonna add similar Shameless, good friend called them excellent Tater hillers!! To me these always seemed Light, had to add wheel weights or concrete blocks to get them in the ground in packed up soil.

I had one that would dog walk up the field, I added weights, changed pitch, adjusted everything but each side kept trying to pass the other no matter what. Ask a JD guy how to stop it and his reply was, bad news is you can’t, good news is, it’s green and yellow and she’ll sell. And he was right.

Shameless, I have tossed out over $200.oo in seed. I had a Kewannee 13' disk to pull behind my D17. I even put new blades on it. Still wouldn't go in the ground unless the ground was plowed first. I'd sorta like to have another small disk to work up the barn lot and seed it too. It just needs to scratch up the soil a little. It's gonna sell at a consignment auction next weekend. Thanks guys, I think I'll keep looking for a 2500 AC.

If you can find one, an old IH 470 is hard to beat, I've got a half wore out 470 IH disc that will do a better job than most, and dang sure better than a JD disc I ever owned.

Years ago, worked at a place that had JD disc’s. Had one if I remember was a BWA? Worked good if discing down corn stalks, good easy use a Farmall 656 to do the job. Had a larger one that the gangs hung on big ‘C’ or ‘U’ shaped springs, hung sideway. That disc, no matter what we tried, would ‘ridge’ the soil something terrible. Front gangs would throw the soil to far out, the rear gangs could not pull the soil back in. We pulled that with an IH 826, or 856 with duals. Traded it off for a Will-Rich? field cultivator.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

I didn't buy it. Hitch was broken and the center bearing was out on the right rear gang. If I remember right it brought over $550.00.

well who ever bought it will prolly fix it, then it'll be on the next sale after they use it! like said above, if you can't find a AC disk, next best one is a IH 470.

dads old jd disk is still out in the trees somewhere. if you had any foxtail inj the fields, you'd hafta burn it off before disking...or trying to disk it, the disk would just knock it over.

My dad used to say, "As soon as John Deere makes a good disc, it'll be their first one".

All of the green tractors around here had IH disks behind them! -- Never have seen a green disk here!
