Not So Pro 3

How wide is that disk? 12 foot?

If that tractor is shuttle shift, I think I'd send it and see if there was enough traction to be had.

It is.
I found that dipshìt had already been out tearing shìt up with it. No clue if it was being overworked or not as he's clueless.

Lotta earth shakes lately

I assume this is not normal?

Should be californias right n the edge of the San Andreas fault edge. I haven’t never experienced a earth quake and sure as hell don’t ever wanna

Caught second raccoon of the year in backyard trap by the bird feeders. Relocating to a local county park.

Relocate it to someone’s area whom you don’t like lol

Ok guys, need some opinions.
Went to my parents. I see my dìpshit brother in law decided to buy a disc and planter.
I personally am thinking it's too much for Dad's 40hp New Holland..

What do you dudes think?

40hp is a bit low for that size disc, will have to be less aggressive with disc angles. Is the tractor hydro or gear? How much land are we talking? What is he going to be planting? If a one off for getting hay started on 20 or so acres, he will be alright. If he is going to be row cropping, you are seriously undersized on the tractor. Not too hilly I assume either? So many questions. Tractor weight has more bearing than HP, but you need both.

Could maybe get by with the planter, since its FWA, but negatory on the disc.
Dont know what kind of soil y'all have, but it wouldnt pull it in our red clay.

He will just be doing small food plots for deer. No actual farming.
At least I'm assuming.
Flat ground

Sand.
Very sandy.
And rocks. Big rocks, little rocks. In between rocks. According to the scientists my area is where one of the glaciers had stopped during the ice age. Flattened it out and left us with sand and large boulders.
Our sandy soil is what makes the county I'm in and the 4 surrounding it the second leading potato producer behind all of Idaho. Lots of potatoes and potato heads in these parts..

He is in Wisconsin so loamy sandy soil is what I figured. Clay is a whole nuther animal.

Mmmmmm, potatoes with cheese! I Think you will be fine, still go easy on the disc angles.

Won't be me until he screws up the tractor, then I'm the one who has to fix it.
He starts things but never finishes. I'd be shocked if seed ever gets put in the planter.

Got this stupid thing fixed and outta here this morning. Wouldnt stay running for more than a few minutes. Needed the carb rebuilt.

Gonna change the rear axle oil in the F-150 later today.

Probably at the f150 tow limits lol

Knock him in the head and tell him to go out and buy a tractor

Yeah. They live in town. It would be just one more thing of theirs sitting at my parents.
I'm assuming my Dad will have some input about this when they get back.
Every time my parents go away, something new arrives and Dad has to then tell them it needs to go away.

I wouldn’t wait for the rush and let your dad have all the fun

That harrow needs 65 to 70 HP to pull it down here in GA.
The tractor will need more wheel weights on all wheels to get traction which will put a lot of stress on it causing wear, breakage.

 

[Firewood Hoarder]

It is.
I found that dipshìt had already been out tearing shìt up with it. No clue if it was being overworked or not as he's clueless.

I was always told the "rule of thumb" for pulling a disk was 5 drawbar horsepower per foot of width, really tearing it up at an aggressive rake at a good pace. Most of my disk pulling had been with antiques, and we get away with 2-3 drawbar horsepower and just pulling a lower gear.

I figured whatever was being disked was close to Stevens Point, smallish rocks and sandy, so it ain't like the clay and rocks we have in the southeast part of the state. Thus my "I'd send it" judgment

there is another way to be a little easier on tractor @redline4
lessen the weights at the wheels and lessen the traction

i still say knock him in the head he can go buy his own tractor

Yes it is
