    Can anyone tell me about....

    this disc? What is the adjustment on it for? Any helpful hints with it are welcome.

    Adjustment is for setting the offset (angle), lets you put them straight to pull from place to place, (no 3pt to raise it)

      they cut/turn the soil better when they are offset. when they are set straight, they pretty much just roll along and leave lines in the soil.
      looks like the front row turns the soil and the rear row lays it flat.
      never seen one like that though.

        ^^^^ adjusting the offset let's you control how much dirt your turning.


        Oh look a fajita!!

          I have an old one like that. There is a lever that lets you change the angle.

            Is this the one you will be using to put the free food plot?

              just looking at the top picture the disk is set at about max cut. If you want to make it have less cut them remove the big pin in the center and back up very slow an the reinsert the pin in a different hold. Looks like maybe a half dozen holds for the pin to go in.
              When you first start I would leave at max cut then after ground is broken up re adjust
              with less angle to keep land level

                You can also add some weight to the front section to make it cut better. You do have to straighten it up when you move from one place to another so it won't cut the dirt very much. Looks like a pretty old disk to me

                    These were made before hydraulic lifts. There should be a lever or pin to pull to set the angles so that they can be used to disc then you pull the pin and back up to set the disc gangs straight so you can drag it some place else and not plow all the way there it will just roll.

                      Well you should. I have 5 of these and they work better then the new stuff. I even took one disc off and made a disc cooker.

                        The Plotmaster will work up the ground but is much better if already plowed. As a planting system it beats just about any other product and saves you some time.

                          My buddy has the Hunter 800. It's ok, not great or anything. He still uses his old stuff to get it done though. He says the plotmaster has too much flex and skips a bunch on his plows.
