13 ft disc for my DA9190 and MF1155

[Grainfarmer]

Hi together!

To have some equipment for the tillage I started with a 13ft disc today. Here are the first parts....nearly 2" diameter concaved steel discs...
They will be assembled with some tubes and a threaded rod.

...I do not build a certain type of disc, but I hope it will look a bit like this when it´s finished...:

That is a nice Disc Frank there is a guy here in the US that goes to the toy shows that has built that very same one to a T very nice unit. Cant wait to see more by the way were did you get the concave disc's made.

I am also interested in where the discs came from or where/how they were made. I want to make a disc for my JD

If you need and are interested, I found this on Ebay:

I got the discs from the local hardware store. Ususlly they are used as end caps for welded tubes.

The discs are connected to one shaft...:

Next part will be the frame...

[mazdaparts]

That is looking great. Will it be all brass?

[Grainfarmer]

I think so....some parts brass, maybe some Aluminum...

[dabears]

Looking great!!

Some more steps forward...:

With the crank I can adjust the level of the hitch...

A few days ago the parts fom CTI arrived...
The spindle cylinder for lifting the disc is now mounted.

[Grainfarmer]

Today I made the first test run of the lifting system...it works great with te cylinder!

To adjust the tilling depth I put the tractor 15 millimeter higher. In this position I can adjust the parallelism of the discs to the ground by turning the spindele...

If I find the time and the weather is ok I will make a video of the testrun outdoors in the next few days.

Looks fantastic!!! Did an awesome job on it! Cant wait to see the video!

[Izzy]

great work ....

that cylinder is nice - better looking than the Firgelli styles....

[Grainfarmer]

First test run in (very) hard ground... :D

Cool video! Looks pretty good

[Espeefan]

Very nice work, Frank. The disk looks awesome. That hard packed ground isn't a good judge for the disk's functionality though. I'm sure it would work a lot better in a more scale, packed dirt field.

[mazdaparts]

Video look good. I like the new tire setup. It looks like you need to adjust the hitch to have more rear dig. It looked like the rear was in the air and allowing the front to pull sideways and not cut like it should.

That´s exactly what ist does. the tilling depth is still adjusted to 15 millimeters and if the front does not get in the ground so deep, the rear stays in the air. It also lifts the rear axle up, but the DEUTZ-ALLIS has 4wd, so the tractor still pulls over the frontwheels. In the next video it will be better... :o

[Izzy]

Awesome - I like it - don't get discouraged by the workings of the plow - hard pack is hardly a good test. I would rather think that fine potting soil would be a better material?

[Grainfarmer]

Another test...

Some things are to do:
- The spindle for the adjustment of the tilling depth needs some more clearance
- maybe I´ll sharpen the discs a little bit, now they are 2 millimeters thick
- maybe I´ll put some weight on it...

With more clearance the disc runs smoother over humps. The clearance in the spindle makes the drawbar more flexible when it´s connected to the tractor.
After that it will be ready for the paintjob I think...

Looks like it was running better. I still love your tractor.

Some more details:

A toolbox for the electric components and some more weight...:

[dabears]

Good idea for adjustable weight! That should help push it further in the dirt

[Dieselchopper]

Sweet work!

[Grainfarmer]

After several time some progress: The zgly white bix is gone...the speed controller for the spindle cylinder is fixed below the copper cover between the frasmerails...
