We tried out a John Deere 2680H High Performance Disk

We have a pig and cash crop farm in Southwestern Ontario. We're looking for a different tillage option on our farm so we tried out a John Deere 2680H High Performance Disk.

I'm a little late, but we tried one a little less than a week ago. 24' 4'' model, rubber rollers. Our 8360RT wasn't powerful enough to pull it full speed and we were only able to pull around 9.5, but it still did a great job. We mainly used it on barley stubble.
Here is a video of some drone footage we got if you are interested!

Nice. They're a hard pull for sure! How deep were you going? Will you hit it again in the spring?
Cool video!

@@farmerdan87 I think around 5 inches from what I remember. If it is still at the dealer, we might try it later on sugarbeet ground. But it for sure does a good job, just not in the budget right now.

I couldn't agree more

So you did buy the 2680H? I’m looking at Deere and Degelman. Was looking at 25’ but every one says go smaller. Did you get HYD scrapers?

[@farmerdan87]

Yes we bought a 17.5ft one with hydraulic scrapers. It seems small but our Magnum 240 was way too small for the 21 footer. What will you be using to pull it? We demoed a Joker too, did a nice job but was more expensive than the Deere with no rubber roller option.

[@robwar2288]

@@farmerdan87 a Deere 9330 or 8335R, so 21 foot would be plenty?

[@farmerdan87]

I would think either of those would work great with the 21 footer. Your dealer would know better than me though!

[@robwar2288]

How much are you paying for blades?

[@farmerdan87]

Not sure, haven't had to replace any yet. Did you end up getting the Deere or the Degelman?

[@soybean70]

Need 20hp per foot

[@scottkaercher1733]

They dont do that good of a job unless your doing the 8 to 10mph range.

[@farmerdan87]

In what way? Not level enough? Make more of a washboard? We bought a 17 footer so it'll be easier to pull with our magnum 240 than the 21 footer we used in the video

[@scottkaercher1733]

@@farmerdan87 i think the smaller ones do a better job than the bigger ones do.

[@Brobro449]

I thought the same thing looked like they were going a bit too slow

Too much video of nothing happening until the end

If you think this one is bad you should see the rest of my videos! Thanks for watching.
