Tri fold Disc
 

As some of you know I was talking about making a 4 bottom plow. I was also wondering if anybody has seen a tri-fold disc that would cover about 10 feet in a pass. I think you would need or want at least 3 hydraulic spools for folding and for wheels. What are some of your thoughts on this.

Good luck pulling a 10 ft disc with a Cub. My dad has a 20 or 22 ft disc and uses a 180 horse IH 1586 to pull it. If it's just for show and you don't plan on actually putting it in the ground then have at it. It would look cool at shows.

My 782 easily pulls a 12'6" tandem disk,------------------------
of course it is on level grass and the disk blades are suspended in the air by the transport wheels.
When it is in a field, it needs my 100 Hp 806 to effectively pull it, fitting cropland.:biggrin2:

Cubs are tough...but not that tough... You are overestimating the capabilities of a garden tractor.

Something like this? Looks neat, but your going to have more disc than tractor. It looks cool though! You might get away with 6ft long as you don't run very deep.

Yeah..... I'm not getting in on this one. I debated enough in the 4 bottom plow thread. Have-at bud.

bocephus that is what I mean right there. Shaner I plan on building a cub just for this odd ball stuff. The final design is still up in the air but it will be on of the two pictures below. Sorry now about not being the right colors.

I won't comment on the feasibility of the project (I have plenty of those kind of ideas myself).

On the hydraulics requirements, you should be able to get by with two spools, One for lifting the transport wheels and one for folding the wings, unless you want to be able to run it with only one wing down, then you would need three spools.

Impossible.

Dont waste your time. ..


Build a 4 bottom roll over plow instead, then build a discovator. Tandem disks are a dime a dozen

If you built those two things THAT would b cool!

Then it would be cool to see what you would pull it with...

Make it look good, now get after it!
