 Topic: Wd disc size
Posted: 25 Feb 2017 at 12:37pm |
|
How big of a disc can a wd pull? It is getting rebuilt with 1/8th inch over bore pistons, a 45 crank, and a cam ground to 175 specs. It will be a pulling tractor that I want to try on the disc for fun, it has front, mid, and rear weight brackets so slipping hopefully won't be much of an issue.

12-14 foot. My CA will pull 8-1/2 foot with ease.

Condition of the rear tires (lug height), actual tire size (width and diameter), dual wheels or not, total weight of the tractor, drawbar height, disc weight per blade, un-tiled cornstalk ground versus moldboard plowed ground, etc, etc, etc. Yeah, anywhere from 9 ft to 13 ft.

I have a 10' AC 2200 disk that I know was pulled with a WD45 by its previous owner.

Uncle Theo told me once that a good WD-45 with duals could pull a SC #215 (15') disc in plowed ground. If Ted said it, it must be so...

Single or tandem disc? I'd think a WD or a 45 would have trouble with a 15 foot tandem with sharp discs and in plowed ground. You'd need duals at the very least.

x2. All those variables play into consideration. For example....my 8N would probably pull a 1 bottom in a buddy's field (really sticky gumbo that plows like asphalt), but it will pull a 2 in my soil just a few miles away, and it would handle a 3 well in some of our soil at the ranch. It's a sandy loam that plows very easy. Variables make all the difference.
