 Topic: 2600 Disc Power Requirement
Posted: 26 Dec 2015 at 12:01am |
|
I saw an ad recently for a 22' 2600 disc nearby. It is a bit out of my price range, but it got me wondering if I could even pull it with the 8030 PS FWA. Currently, to give you an idea of my soil, I pull a 7 shank 1500 min till 5th to sixth on the flat in good ground, but if I hit a clay and or a hill I am usually down to 4th.

Around here in our dirt, that would be pushing the limit of it.i have a friend that pulls a 22ft with a 150 hp tractor and that's all it needs.

It isn't necessarily the width, but the weight per blade, the number of blades, the angle of the blade gangs and how deep you disc. A model 2500 double-fold that is 25 ft width and 9 inch spacing works well behind an 8050 or 7060 2WD in gently rolling ground. It is also set at the minimum angle on the gangs. A model 2600 is heavier than a 2500. If it is a center-fold frame, it will pull easier than a double-fold frame. It should also be an 11 inch blade spacing for 24 inch diameter blades.

I pull a 22 foot center fold 2600 with 9 inch spacing with my 4w220 or 8070 MFD and with it set midway on the angle it will may them work in heavy soil.

A 23 ft 9inch spacing 24 inch blades, will pull as hard as a 30ft 2500 7inch spacing 20inch blades.

Father in law bought a new 1, pulled it with a 9000 ford that was turned up to 180+ HP. Worked good with new rear tires and new tires on the duals. Tractor engine only lasted 3 years at this HP output.

If I pulled my 22 foot Sunflower with my 8030 the Allis disc should be a cake walk. The Sunflower was a handful but I managed.
