It's not a "harrow" its a disk. You say that angle is no substitute for weight, and that you added weight and it still didn't work. Did you try changing the angle?
Listen guys I've ran way too much equipment for too many years to argue about this. Disks work. It's all about the setting. I'm confident this little disk will work, the question I have, is once I get it set up to do it's job, will I be able to pull it.
Todd, I couldn't agree more!!  |
I can't agree more with both of you! A disk is a great tillage tool and can be very useful, especially if set right. Since we grow a lot of small grains, a disk (and a harrow) is our best tillage tools because it allows for shallow burial of small grain seeds...and the harrow allows you to get rid of the tire tracks.
We still harrow every field after planting of corn, soybeans, or oats...in the hills it saves a lot of erosion potential, especially if there is potential for lots of rain.
