Add On Disc Out Undisked Strip

Add on disc wipes out undisked strip FENCING Fence Systems 15-2-6 "This is a problem I've had for years. I finally figured out how to solve it," says L.O. Beddard, Snow Hill, N.C., who made an attachment for his field disk that wipes out the untouched strip the disk left right down the center. "Before I made this attachment my 12 1/2-ft. Ford-built disk would leave a 2 to 3-in. wide strip of grass or weeds after each pass was made. Now it all gets tilled," says Beddard. He says some farmers solve the problem with a single plow shank but that can cause plugging. He mounted a single disc on a floating support arm between the front and rear disc gangs. He used a bearing section from a "disc hiller" that's designed to support a blade on either side. A chain sets the proper depth by hooking in a notch on the disk frame. The floating arm is about 2 ft. long with the pivot point toward the front. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, L.O. Beddard, Rt. 1, Box 131A, Snow
