Northwest Ohio

Tossing around the idea of purchasing a Massey Ferguson 820 Disc 26'. Would be nice to have around.
What are some pros & cons? What is a good price to buy one for in good working condition? (nothing broken and needs no repairs)

Thanks

we ran a 24' 820 for a lot of years. Nice medium weight disk. We got it used, and I don't remember ever having to weld anything.. or seeing any extra welds. edit; I remember now that we had to weld up a couple of gang supports.. smacking rock hard irrigation wheel tracks is a little rough on any disk. Those supports are stamped plate, and where they are bent to fit the frame is a pretty harsh bend to make..

Bearings seemed adequate.. they use flange type mounts. I recall now that the hitch never needed beefing up.

I dunno price wise, if it's got really good blades and bearings, hoses, tires, cylinders don't show signs of leaking.. and the lift saddle/landing gear tube isn't all ate up... up around $ 2000?

Previous owner had it set for his tractor, and took us awhile to get the crank working to get it leveled.

Does it have the rock flex standards? We have a 21' that was purchased new in 1977 without rock flex standards (weren't available yet). Put them on a few years later when they offered them. Would break the regular ones if you hit a bigger rock. Added a used 25' in the eighties that already had rock flex. Disked more then because we did more tillage, but still have both. Besides the standards, only flaw is the shortest spool on one side of the bearings (front gangs) can crack at the corners and need attention when changing bearings. As good a disk as was made at the time. No frame problems. Can get wear on the wing adjustment linkage but not a huge deal.
Check Tractorhouse for prices , but all that I see on there I think are too high. Condition makes so much difference.
