Disc harrow decision
Hello all!
I'm in the market for a single point, 2 row disc harrow for my 140. The bit of info I have been able to find on these is this:
1-F36 is from the 100-130 era
#60 is after the 1-F36 model
120 looks like the #60
122 is like the 120 but the frame is angle iron rather than channel iron.
My question is this:
Is there an advantage to owning any one of these over another as far as usefulness and versatility is concerned?
It will be a worker and not something to be displayed at shows although, whatever I wind up buying, will be cleaned up, painted and repaired where needed.
Also, what is the reason difference between solid discs and notched discs?
Thank you!
Tom

Put simply, notched disk blades are more powerful than smooth disk blades. They cut more thoroughly.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Re: Disc harrow decision
Notched disks are also better if you have crop residue, like corn stalks or soybean stubble.

Of course that doesn't work on the internet. If you tell somebody where to look, somebody else comes along and posts the answer.

Re: Disc harrow decision
Kind of getting off track, but even thou your tractor in equipped with a fast hitch. Imo, the best disk to actually use with this tractor is the cub 23A dual gang drag disk. I have owned and used both of these and found the cub disk to be the most suitable.

Re: Disc harrow decision
Thanks KY Cub! Not off track at all. Why do you say the 23A is more suitable? I know very little about any of these and any input would be helpful. My goal is not to buy and sell each model.until I find one I like. I don't need to be a collector. Lord knows I did enough of that in my life already.

Re: Disc harrow decision
I have just believe the 23A disk works the soil up better and easier, plus the dual gang fast hitch disk is a load on the back of the tractor when you pick it up.
Hopefully you'll get some other opinions from guys on here that have used both.

You want a 60, 120, or 122. They are good disks, heavier built than the earlier. Get one with ball bearings if you can. For disks that small/light, notched blades are a borderline must.

Re: Disc harrow decision
Thank you Al! I'm planning on a 122. I've heard rumors of a man not farm from here who might have what I'm looking for. Tomorrow I go on the search to find his place.
