Skinner THANKYOU very much I will try to find out tomorrow 17a Mike

One of my gal friends lives only a mile from there. I can have her ask how much $.
It's cheaper and easier to buy a good usable disk and let it go when the blades are worn out.
Farmers are selling out left and right here, whether it be retirement or tossing in the towel with low commodity returns or fed up with Commiefornia.

I saw the disk advertised on FB Marketplace. Pretty proud of that thing! It would be a good price if it had decent blade and the hydraulics. Happy hunting. JM

I checked on that Towner disk my advice to them is park it by the road and weld their mailbox to it all they have got is a frame they are going to own along time at that price. 17afarmer

Many scrappers are unrealistic about their prices when selling an item whole. The previous owner got their full use of those blades!
BidCal auction had a 12' Towner for sale with nice blades for less money.
You might want to tell us what size you are looking to purchase. JM

In rock hard dry adobe those blades might have enough meat on them to keep the spools from touching the ground without stacking a pile of Nutwell and Wilson cast weights onto the frame of that disc. One of our late neighbors had a saying about working hard ground to the affect that the ground was so hard that the tractor still has paint on the track pads because the grouser bars couldn’t dig in fully.

Hah! On a rare occasion I might come across some old wheel weights with those names cast into them. One of my 16'? Towner disks came from the foothills west of Willows, CA and the ground was so hard, the edges of the blades were flat, not sharp whatsoever; then we move to my other disks that ran in clay loam, sharp as razors!
The local plow day we were invited to could use some guys with disks to work the ground, I might have to encourage some guys to turn some dirt. JM

Regarding the size of stubble disk I really don’t know what would be a reasonable load ,14 to 16 I would guess ,some of these steep Palouse are sure not like working flat valley ground in CA. I would rather pull a little smaller disk and not have to struggle all the time. A heavy disk would let me get a jump on fall work and they are a great for fire guards. Mike
