Loader-Mounted Disk Ideal For Gardens And Plots

Loader-Mounted Disk Ideal For Gardens And Plots DISKS Owen Rogers Franklin Tenn was looking for something to till his deer food plots without spending a lot of money so he adapted an old 3-pt mounted 10-ft disk to use on his Terex track loader “It works great I can hook up to the disk without ever having to get off the loader ” says Rogers “The 3-pt hitch is still on the disk so if I want I can hook it up to a tractor ” He bought the disk at a junk yard for $300 then paid $119 for a new universal quick-tach plate and welded it on back of the disk “It isn’t meant to be used on big fields but it works great for tilling small plots ” says Rogers “If the disk clogs up with debris I can just lift it off the ground and the debris will fall off “The quick-tach mounting plate prevents opening the front-mounted door on my skid loader but it’s not a problem because my loader has an automatic quick-tach hook up system ” Rogers also modified an old 10-ft “net harrow” to use with the loader “Most drag harrows are designed to be pulled by chain behind the tractor and when they plug up you have to stop and lift up part of the harrow by hand to remove the debris However my harrow was built on a steel frame so I was able to weld an 8-ft length of channel iron across the back of the harrow I welded more channel irons perpendicular to them that fit the forks and keep the harrow from tilting ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Owen Rogers P O Box 680188 Franklin Tenn 37068 omegasales@mindspring com
