 Topic: Disk harrow for 720
Posted: 18 Nov 2013 at 3:46pm |
I am looking for a disc harrow for my 720. The machine has 12.5 x 15 rear ag tire and rear wheel weights. I could put weigth up front also. I see two "cat 0" disks on the market Howse and Behen. I am not 100% certain they are cat 0 but maybe the pins need to be changed or flipped to face inside. Howse is 60" 505 pounds and 4 gangs of (4) 16 inch notched discs. Behen is 66" 407 pounds and 4 gagngs of (4) 16 inch notched discs. Howse also has a cat 1 48" 423 pound disk. (3) 14 inch disks per gang Can this machine handle these?

Simpletractors.com lists these attachments for the 620 (720 would be the same).
60" Mower
48" Rear Rotary Mower
48" Rotary Tiller
58" Sickle
Bar
52" Snow
Thrower
60" Snow Plow or Dozer Blade
60" Grader Blade
12" Mold-board Plow
Single Row Cultivator
Front End
Loader
No mention of a disk. Based on the options you stated, I would go with the lightest one (but you will need category 0 hookups). Depending how deep you intend to go, you might need to load your tires. The disk might still be hard to handle. Haven't tried that with mine yet.

Here is mine - I have seen several, don't remember maker but not AC or Simplicity. It is a Cat 0 Like most of these you will need weight to get any kind of cut. The tractor will lift it fine even with the added weight on the disk. Front is a little light but workable.

Brian - Just a guess, 150-200# without the F&H weight. I think you are right it is a Brinly.

The current version of this is resold by John Deere (LPPDD1000JD), dealer told me it is 198 pounds. So I don't know if the 720 could handle a 400 pound disk.

The Brinly looks a little too light. Maybe OK for the JD 318"s and such. Looks sort of toyish to me, just one bearing per gang. But the 620/720 Powermax is about 400 pounds heavier. There is no narrow (4ft) disc harrow out there that would fit?
