Would look like an IH in a lot of ways, but that crank up front has me stumped, never saw a disk with a crank like that, so probably not IHC or JD, perhaps a Case? I'm not familiar with old Case disks.... --->Paul [Reply]  [No Email]

It a has the handle crank at the front to adjust the gangs. He was a big Case we still have the case 2 bottom plow and at one point there were also cultivators that mounted.. haven't been able to find any pictures of drag discs that Case made that look like this though. thanks for the input!

It won't take 80 HP to pull it. Back in my youth I plowed with a 6' Killifer(JD) and used a late model JD B tractor. The tractor pulled it just fine. [Reply]  [No Email]

I can't imagine any VAC in the world could possibly pull it if it's 8 foot wide. Maybe I'm wrong and it isn't an offset, but in my ground even a regular 8 foot double gang would need a lot more HP than any of my VACs could muster. An 8 foot offset usually needs over 80 hp to use effectively. [Reply]  [No Email]
