That makes more difference than weight. Just like the guys who put weights on their plows. It's not because they need it..... It's because they don't know how to set it. I'm confident, that once I get it set up correctly, it will do a fine job. I'm not just needing it for a garden. I do a lot of other tillage work for hire. Leveling and re-seeding yards, work at the local ball diamond and the like. If you have used a disk and didn't like the result, it's probably because you don't know how to set it. A disk is a very good tool if you know how to use it.

I've been working on farms all my life. Most farms ive been on have parked the disk in favor of either no till, or field cultivators followed by a crumbled or a cultimulcher of some sorts. Plus certain disks leave "hills" that allot of farmers don't care for. Mainly because of the large gap between the two rear gangs.
Just stating I'm not a fan of disks. I'd rather have a field cultivator with a leveling bar of some sorts
