Panhandle of Ne. | younger generation might not know what I am talking about, but the old-timers like me will. LOL |

North Central Kansas | Don't know about building, but we bought one last year.
We used it to work the south end of a field we flood irrigate. I got
I got tired of all the tail water going to the neighbors crop!
We also used it to move dirt out of the channel of our terraces. They had problems with standing water, this worked like a charm!
For you old timers...here is one.
Today at an auction we saw a flip plow...I do not know if I am saying this right or not. It is like a roll over, but a much much earlier version.
It had 2 plows and you went one way, then pulled a cord and could then travel back the way you came. IT worked the same as a roll over, but just built different, and was only a 2 bottom. |

Western Nebraska | I'm 40 and I know what you're talking about. We called them "tumble plows". Used to be many in Ne. Panhandle |

Kittitas Co. Wa. State | LOL !! whoever bought it,, I've got a brand new set of 4 plow shares for it !!!

South Plains of Texas | Nope a "one way" is a plow with discs. Kind of like one really long gang off a offset. It's cut at more of an angle so that a weed can't escape. Best plow for cleaning a field. Not for plowing deep. Just for killing weeds. I don't know of anyone building them now. |

| A Brazilian company Tatu-Marchesan still builds them. They are an integral part of the tillage proceedure down there, especially when opening new ground. They are importing part of their product line to the states. I've seen some Tatu equipent at short line dealers in the south. |

NW Washington | Are you talking about the rig that looks something like a disc plow except that all of the disc are on the same axle/shaft. One way disc with a drill box mounted on it used to be used in Western Canada for seeding wheat. They called them Diskers up there.. I think they were called "mulch tillers" too. I don't think anyone make that type of "one way" plow any more or even a disc plow. All the major ag machine companies used to make them.
I checked the Brazilian outfit and it looks like they have tandem and off set discs but not the "one way" disc that I am thinking of.

Panhandle of Ne. | I am on plan "D" now thinking about some type of rig that will go through very wet stubble ground and remembered these type of discs. We used to have an old JD one when I was a kid that had hand levers to raise and lower the plow. I know that we won't be able to run a regular disc in this crap because the back gang will plug with mud and it is snowing again as I type this in the middle of the night. Starting to get real ugly. Have leased a great plains vertical turbo till machine in hopes it will fluff the ground and dry it out, don't know if it will or not. I hate working muddy fields but will have no choice. |

Huntley Montana | Sounds like you need 1 of those old HESSTON disks that just had the front & a little back for the middle I think they made them about 45'. Not too sure if Stieger didn't sell them also . |

central - east central Minnesota - | Ya, I've seen one of them (just a small 10 or 12ft section) sitting along the fence in a field I used to farm. Man, all that draft - I wonder how much side pull is on the hitch of that Cat tractor? |

EC North Dakota | Massey used to make than and they were the most popular ones here in EC ND. Haven't see any used for a long time and I don't think anyone makes them. I have two 15' of the massey, one parts, one to use on the rare occasion that they are used here anymore.
I agree with you assessment of conditions that this type of disc would do what you want. The Heston single V disc was used here some, as I recall the biggest complaint on them was that they did ridge on the outer end when put in the ground to any depth.
Have a neighbor that bought two sets of three several years ago out of Canada, don't know what brand they are but I just saw them sitting out the other day. Look to be a good heavy disc, |

Jewell County KS | I've got 3 of the Hesston 2410 40 footers. They will work some fairly wet spots and they do leave a little ridge most of the time. You just have to split the ridge the next time over. |

La Glace Alberta Canada | I don't know if anyone builds them anymore we still use ours the odd time on new soil. |

just a tish NE of central ND | You are talking about a surflex tiller. I have a JD surflex tiller. Its been sitting so long that last fall I had to doze a tree grown through the frame that was 12 foot tal already.You pulled it "ONE WAY" and followed the furrow it made just like you do when you pull a statiopnary plow. Its turning/steering mechanism was about as stupid as it gets.You couldn't turn to the right even when it was ouf of the ground.Its discs roll just like a gang of disc blades on a regular disc, but at more of a straight drag instead of a gentle angle.. It had a large cast and steel wheel weighted down in the furrow in back to keep the draft to a minimum. If you hit hard ground it drafted and took off sideways and took a much wider pass of ground.It did a fair job of blackening the soils and clipping off the weeds.It hated Rocks.(broken discs and shafts) I hated working on it.(regular job if you used it much) |

St. Gregor, SK, Canada | One's a 12' disc, with hydraulic lift, the other is a 20' with seed and fertilizer boxes - they were Dad's first tillage and seeding tools when him immigrated. Lots of that type of unit still in the area, and quite a few getting used.
Mine are for sale, though - I'd rather no till :P |

central sask | Dad and Grandpa seeded and summer fallowed with them for years!! I ran them doing SMF.
Then we got 3 16' IH 310 Disk'alls with p-30 Flexi-coil packers. Pulled them one year with a 2590 Case 2wd, then got a fourth one and split them into two 32' sets. Pulled those with a 2290 Case wd and a 2-135 White 2wd.
Same seed/fert boxes as the 7200 drills. Still didn't like rocks that much.
Sold them a couple years after I bought our first air-seeder .
Still have most of the Cockshutt's , |

South Texas | This may be an option - they're built in Lubbock. Basically an old one-way concept on a switch plow frame. Quite a few around here used to reclaim land behind bulldozers...
