Central PA | Look at the weight per foot. We have a k-line (generally well made) and it is (was 6 years ago) about the heaviest per foot, which makes a difference if you expect to go into hard ground. I see some like the jokers hang extra suitcase weights on them to get them to dig in. Also chose your roller wisely. Our cage roller has taken a beating with rocks bending 1" bar stock and breaking welds. I think the ring rollers may be more forgiving. If you want to replant all the weed seeds a solid rubber tire roller is the best.
Also equal angle blade attack will always cause it to draft heavier to one side since the second Gang of discs is working less than the leading gang. We use a 3ph mounted 4 meter unit and it will wear out the wear blocks on our JD 7820 in a year. you would not notice this with a trailed unit. I think Lemkin has tweeked different angles front and back to eliminate the draft offset. I think Lemkin is ahead of the pack. Look closely at the Euro mfgs. There are a lot of late comers (all of the North American companies) trying to catch the wave.
If anyone knows of any generic or after market discs for these let me know.
BTW, son just told me Case IH is now branding the k-line units | |
