I usually leveled the disc. It will do a goodjob of leveling itself in dirt. Nice disc. They are a must have for tractor owner. A 4.5 or 5 ft. would disc out tires.

Adding the third hydraulic link is the answer, getting a remote to the back is the problem! I don't recommend the electric over hydraulic switch as they are jerky, l take my loader off and use the loader control valve. Thanks for sharing 😁👍

Hi Aaron. What a challenging week. Sat down to do voice over and the mic stopped working. Have it fixed now. The county attorney is being down right ignorant. Hired an attorney to represent me and it’s only Tuesday!!!😀😀 -Bill
Works nice Bill . Very handy attachment . Very good demonstration in worst conditions . I’ll bet on nice rich soil with some weight on it that it would really perform too the max 👍
Stephen Rhodesian ridgeback 77 Hi Stephen. During the next video I get into some richer soil and you’re correct it does a better job. Hope all is good where you’re at. The barber shops open tomorrow, excited to get a haircut after 12 weeks ha ha
Great video! Advice would be to increase your speed when running a disc. We run the fields after the 2 bottom in the fall with the disc in the spring in 3rd gear with 1750 rpm on an old naa. It's like swinging an axe, the faster the speed the more the impact
Hi Bill, The cylinder itself was $210. I can't find the installed price. I included it when I bought the tractor and I believe the dealer included the installation with the purchase. I do have the additional ports in the back. After watching your videos with the Bonecrusher I ordered one a couple of weeks ago. I'm sure it's not a good as a hydraulic grapple but it's certainly priced at a point that I can justify it for a few things I want to do. I also sold my box blade and purchase a landplane after watching the great work you are able to do with yours. You commented during your video that the rocks you were unearthing would damage a tiller. I have a JD 655 tiller that is built like a tank. I have hit plenty of rocks that are the size of a baseball and it has not done any damage to the tiller. My interest in the disc is for the field around my business. I've got five or six acres that I bush hog twice a year and it very rough. I've used the tiller on a couple of the roughest spots but it takes a long time. I'd really like to disc the whole thing. Thanks again and stay safe
mickey17y Thanks for the additional information, the top link cost seems reasonable. Your opinion on the brush crusher is spot on, the cost of that has allowed me to purchase additional implements
Every time I watch one of your videos I add another item to my wish list. I'm anxious to see your video with the six-foot Frontier. My dealer installed a hydraulic top link on my 2038R. It's very useful.
mickey17y Hello Mickey, you’ll enjoy the comparison of the two discs, I’ll let you guess which one I purchase. May I ask how much a hydraulic top link cost? I think my dealer is having a hard time getting talented technicians. I sure enjoy getting new attachments. Stay safe.
I have this disc in my Arsenal. I ended up getting a bottom plow to really breaking up my land (a old farm field that hasn’t seen a piece of equipment in 7 yrs).
@@billburkhart Not on any social media platforms. I had a negative experience, and God showed me I wasn't mature nor ready to be involved.... Learned a hard lesson...

Good evening Diane, 3 1/2 acres of grass is a very large yard, I'd sure enjoy having that much grass to maintain...... Besides aerating my yard every fall, I use a use a cool season grass mixed for the Midwest. I buy it at a local feed store and it doesn't have any "brand" name you'd recognize. I always start the Spring off with a feeding of 13-13-13 and a application of Morganite. Thanks for the question. Have a great upcoming weekend. - Bill
@@billburkhart you ready to reply to your viewers , love that , I will look for midwest blend , will it be ok with all the sun I have ( tried to send picture of my yard ) it’s all open ) looking forward for your next video ,, nice work !! Thank you from maine
Good question, if your yard gets at least 5 hrs of sun, use full sun blend, if not, use a shady mix. Remember shade seed will grow in full sun. At the cost of seed use a shade seed when in doubt. Contact me anytime. I’ll put Maine on my viewers map.
Thanks this helps an city boy like me! Bill, it bad to till in reverse? How bout making turns with the disc down? Tilling for a short way in reverse doesn’t seem like a problem. Turns however seems like it would not be too good for the linkage plus just not good. OH BOY! You just addressed the reverse question! Thanks again for your videos! 👍
That looked great. I'm betting you'll end up keeping the 1066 Land Pride. I'm pretty sure you have enough tractor to handle them. I will definitely be watchin, i have a J.D. 3025e. I'm hoping to get the same implement for my tractor. I prefer my tires to be narrow enough that the discs will be wider. No tire tracks that way.
Dean Barr Hi Dean I can’t argue with your logic regarding the tire tracks. I am surprised how much I like the 4 foot Land Pride because of the maneuverability and getting into tight places. Thanks for checking in.
I have a Frontier 1066 in my new 2032R. It handles the disk perfectly. I do a lot of food plots on my hunting lease, about 70 plots from 1/4 acre to 2 acres. The only thing that I do not like about the disk is it has sealed bearings on the disk axles. I wished they were grease-able. I have an older Talor Way disk and you can grease the bearings on it. It’s 16 years old and I have not had to replace a bearing yet. Either way, it is a pain to change the bearings. It’s something that I prefer to do as least as possible. Just a little knowledge that I have learned by trial and error. Good luck with your projects and y’all have a good-un!!!’
I love your videos, I like the narration. I just bought a 1025 with the hoe attachment I never new how much I would enjoy it, just as you said it is so relaxing. I to hope to retire maybe next yr. and would love to take on some small jobs. And thanks for the showing the finish product, and not showing in fast motion as some people do. Thank you. also what kind of seed did you use?
Hello KR are use a seed mix popular in the Midwest from a local feed store and have good luck with it, unfortunately this summer it’s gone up 30%. Thanks for your feedback on my videos I sure appreciate it. And with you retiring soon you absolutely don’t want to miss the next video or I recognize my retirement. I think you’ll get a kick out of it.
Great Video Bill, I think the 6' will probably be better for the 2038 if you only use it on the 38 but if you plan on one for both maybe the 4'er would be best. If you can get your dealer to add the Duel rear SCV's, you can go to Tractor Supply and buy the hydraulic top link thru them, about $300 with hoses. I tried to get it from JD but they don't have them for the 2 series( 3 series and up ). Any ?'s just PM me thru FB and I will try to answer any ?'s on which kind to get. Have a good day!!!
Thanks for the video Bill. Have really been looking forward to this video. The disk seemed to work really good. Wondering how it works in grass to turn up the ground.
Shaun w Hello Shaun, I’ll try and find a project to demonstrate how it breaks up established grass, the next video will show how I put a food plot in and a butterfly garden. Stay healthy
Hi Bill, I have a Kubota B2601. I can’t make up my mind either DH1048 or DH1060. What do you think would work better. The B2601 is a size bigger than the BX serial Kubota offers. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.
R3ddog- I’d recommend the DH1060. I bought the smaller 1048 thinking I was going to use it with landscaping projects. That’s hasn’t been the case and I wish I had the larger disc. How do you plan to use yours? -Bill
@@billburkhart I plan on using it for lawn preparation for seeding. I wish I could afford a rotary tiller. Tractor equipment is expensive here. I looked at used harrow discs online sales, however if you find one in decent shape it’s usually $1000 or higher. I could just keep saving and get a rotary tiller. I think the disc harrow is the best bang for the buck. Love your video’s I have learned a lot watching them and others. Thanks!
R3. I slept on this overnight and remember the larger disc was $1000 higher than the 48”. The smaller disc was $1500 and I wasn’t willing to pay that amount for a larger disc. Good luck with your decision. - Bill
Mr. Bill - I have thoroughly enjoyed your channel for a long time since you and I have similar size tractors and do a lot of the same projects. You inspired me to start my own channel this weekend, but I wanted to ask you if it’s frowned upon to comment on all these channels I watch and share a link to my own channel. Is that bad RUclips manners? I don’t know the social graces of RUclips if there are any. Thanks for your input!
Hello, I know some people comment on my channel and hope others will see their comments here and check out their channel. I don't see any harm. I'll check your channel out. Good luck.
Bill. nice video on the disc. I also like to see the end results. Did you use any straw or anything else to cover the seed? If you want to come to Missouri, I will let you finish putting my yard in. I have about half of it looking pretty good, just need to get the rest done.
MD H I did not use any straw, try to avoid that when I can because of the amount of weeds. All I do is keep it damp after it seeded and I have pretty good luck. Thanks so much for taking time to comment. Wish you lived closer, I’d be happy to help you.
Good evening Fighting Bear, the soil is getting better each year I’m adding compost every fall. Thanks for checking in and saying hello, stay in touch -Bill
Hi I’m new to your channel. I have a 1025r up here in Nova Scotia Canada. I have a tiller but after watching this I would like to have a disc for roughing up places a tiller would be damaged. Wonder if some weight on the disc would help it cut in better. 👍
Better to disc than tear up a tiller. Might need to lengthen the top link a smidge to make rear gangs work more. If you own a turn over plow, a disc can be used to break up the clods. And cheaper than a tiller.
This was a joy to watch & learn, Bill. Thank you for explaining the various things you were doing and why. I have no experience using a DH and you certainly provided an excellent view of how it operates. I would like something for a tiny food plot I started a year or so ago. Man, your lawn looks great. BTW, will that DH cut through roots, if weighted down? Full-watch and have a fine week. 🙂
Houndsman One Hello Houndsman! I don’t know if it’ll cut roots or not. I’ll keep that in mind next time out. A small food plot is my next video, thanks for staying with me all these years.
Hi Bill, nice video really enjoy watching. have you tried working follow the diagonal line? in our farm it is save time to back off the tractor. just my simple idea. i am not sure if it good for you. have a nice day.
Nice video Bill, I run Frontier 1066 discs that I had on my 2025R, now that I have a 2038 I wish I had the 1166. But the Frontier's will impress you, the hardest part with 3 point discs is getting the top link adjusted properly because it's very difficult to see from the seat, it helps to have someone watching when you make the first pass and help you get it adjusted. Here is my latest video from the other night. ruclips.net/video/-8MqdsvZO-E/видео.html

Andrew Brenneman Hello Andrew, I agree with your comments, thanks again for saying hello and commenting, stay healthy
This was a joy to watch & learn, Bill. Thank you for explaining the various things you were doing and why. I have no experience using a DH and you certainly provided an excellent view of how it operates. I would like something for a tiny food plot I started a year or so ago. Man, your lawn looks great. BTW, will that DH cut through roots, if weighted down? Full-watch and have a fine week. 🙂
Houndsman One Hello Houndsman! I don’t know if it’ll cut roots or not. I’ll keep that in mind next time out. A small food plot is my next video, thanks for staying with me all these years.
Can't see how much your doing there but I think a small mini tiller would be better, Those things kick butt.
Good morning Tom, I agree tillers are very effective. But I have the pulverized and love working with it so much.
Have a good weekend. -Bill
Sure like to know what you paid for that. Thanks for the video
Hi Scott, I paid $1100 for that used. Note that was several years ago.
Thanks for commenting and please stay in touch. -Bill
Hi Bill, nice video really enjoy watching. have you tried working follow the diagonal line? in our farm it is save time to back off the tractor. just my simple idea. i am not sure if it good for you. have a nice day.
Jinglong Zhang I’m sorry , what is the diagonal line?
@@billburkhart sorry for my poor English, it is means cross harrowing.
Could you put some blocks on it for more weight
Coz Iii I’m sure you could. I may try that. Thanks for the question
Nice video Bill, great demo! What type of seed did you use? Thanks
I use a Midwest mix I purchase at a local feed store.
The X pattern is the most aggressive cut , that a disc can do. I like a rotavator better.
Bill,
Nice video on the Land Pride disc harrow. When are you going to upload the comparison video between the Land Pride and Frontier?
Trevor Free Hi Trevor. I hope by two weeks, blessed to be very busy at work, thanks for your patience

Lengthen the top link and your rear discs will do a better job!
Paul Mitchell Paul I’ll do that next time out
Rear gang not deep enough at the beginning. Both gangs should be running the same depth.
440gohorse Thank you for the tip.
The disc blades are not notched they are scalloped blades and the regular round blades are referred to as solid blades
Hello Robert, thank you for the clarification. I appreciate it. Stay well......
Don’t run in the same track. You should be straddling a disk mark every time . It will ridge the ground if you keep running in same track.
440gohorse Thank you for the tip, I’ll try that next time out. Have a great week.
Nice video Bill, I run Frontier 1066 discs that I had on my 2025R, now that I have a 2038 I wish I had the 1166. But the Frontier's will impress you, the hardest part with 3 point discs is getting the top link adjusted properly because it's very difficult to see from the seat, it helps to have someone watching when you make the first pass and help you get it adjusted. Here is my latest video from the other night.

Elk Creek Acres watched your video, the frontier worked very well for you. Thank you for the tip on adjusting the pitch of the disc
Boy I hate to hear that this is joe gone as of yesterday! Breaking news.... Lol
Ha ha, Aaron, it was tough to watch it go. But now I can buy a flying camera. -Bill
Needs to be tilted back some
Clark Edgar Edgar Thanks Clark i’ll keep that in mind next time out. Have a great weekend.
Never was a fan of quick hitches. They put thw load back and dont save that much time.
Good morning Tim, thanks for taking time to comment and share your opinion, appreciate it -Bill
Needed to be level.
Esa grada está mal puesta y necesito más peso
Entiendo
You dress too nicely for dirt work. :~)
