I started today fabricating a framework for two Brinley disc’s. I repurposed some three inch channel from a motor home back rack from my brother. More to come as project progresses. :peace: Harry

I finally completed the frame work and assembled it. I tried to disc but the dirt was still wet and and kept sticking between the discs. It still needs some fine tuning. It’s supposed to be in the 80’s this coming week so I know it will dry up. This is the first attempt to use the 646 since the repower. Honda seemed to run strong. I noticed if I lowered the disc to much the relief would kick in at about 2000 psi. A work in progress. I’ll keep everyone posted. :peace: Harry

@Harry , very nice! Is discing something you do normally in the garden? I thought you had a tiller, I'm still learning about the garden so I'm curious how you do things. :cheers:

Safety first! I need to get in the habit to wear a mask especially while cleaning rust. Do you wear your mask while welding?

@Harry google "disk harrow scrapers" That will fix the sticking and will allow you to turn the soil when wetter .

I pulled the old wagon around this morning. Not sure if I’ll use while making hay, but I figured I’d use it more as a flatbed so it’s better than just letting it sit.

A few bolts and a couple of chains to take apart and now it’s a flatbed!

The 446 can pull it around no problem but my 3 point swings too much it’s really tearing up the tires. I’m think I need to make a sway bar.

I think the 446 and Super H look pretty good together!

@Harry i agree with Mr Dave about adding scrapers. If you want to use the disc in the mean time before you can add the scrapers here is the old farmers fix to keep the mud from sticking.

Just a piece of wire between the blades, not pretty but functional!

I usually rototill Eugen. Last fall was the first year I plowed, so I thought I would try discing this spring. :peace: Harry
