Franklinton, LA | I am going to suggest an offset disk with 1/4 X 24" blades and 175 - 200 pounds of weight per blade. When working in stumps and rugged conditions, you will not have as many problems if you use 24" rather than 26" blades. Also, if a blade breaks a 24" blade will cost less to replace than a 26". You will need one PTO HP per 40 - 45 pounds of offset disk. A 10 -12' wide offset disk will do a good job of cutting and will not be as prone to failure as a wider disk. A disk with 9" blade spacing will be more dependable than one with 10 or 10 1/2" and reducing the gang cutting angle for the first two passes will help.
By the way, during the sixties they cleared a little over 4 million acres of hardwood forest in AR, LA and MS. In 1965 I graduated from engineering school and started working for AMCO in Yazoo City, MS. During the sixties AMCO manufactured a few thousand disks to work in recently cleared land. I would recommend an AMCO F42, J42, J43 or J44 disk. You can check the AMCOMfg web site for disk specifications. | |
