Need some advice on discs and discing.
I have a TO 30 and borrowed a six-foot disc from my brother-in-law. He added some weight to it to make it cut deeper. I think it has 18" blades and a fixed angle. Is there an advantage to a fixed angle over an adjustable disc? My soil ranges from some clay to light sandy. I've been running in 2nd, mostly discing fire lines and prepping for food plots.
I definitely need to add some weight to the front of the tractor. Are bolt-on front wheel weights available? If not, how do you attach weight to the front? It gets a little squirrley steering. I could also take some weight of the disc.
If the 3PH is properly adjusted and working correctly, will that control the depth of the cut? I'm thinking when I want to disc in seeds or smooth it up for planting.
I spent about five hours on the tractor Saturday and had a blast. So far, that Fergie is one of my better investments. I have lots of uses for it. Sure does a nice job on the garden and a whole lot faster than a rototiller.
