My husband bought the disk unit out of the scrapyard for $20.00 It was the 8 disks and the fram and adjustable levers. He freed it up and then built the deck(just so a kid or other passenger doesn't fall through) and dash. The front wheel is off of a planter and it attaches to the unit in a receiver hitch so that we can put a pole back on for a team if need be. He also put a hitch on the back for a roller or harrows. Works well. Enjoy the video and feel free to critique.

Good looking tool. Can you adjust it for depth?

Yes. Each side has a lever to adjust the cut. He built the platform and dash also for added weight. Cuts great and does not really flop around the way some disks do.

Fun little job to do with the horses. Sounds like you have some rock:-) My only critique is I would hook quite a bit tighter. It looks like your shafts are dangerously close to coming out of the shaft tugs(loops). That can cause a hell of a wreck. Looks like a Suffolk horse?

Looks great, and cutting pretty deep. I'm gonna bet the horse is not going to run off after spending a couple of hours on it.

Yep, watch those shafts, pretty close to coming out and it won't be pretty. .

Neat rig, I like especially the idea of using shafts, but like the others said the horse needs to be closer to the load so that the shafts do not slip out of the carriers. Many horses feel safer and are easier handled when between shafts than if just in traces in front of an implement.

I have a factory built, pre-WW2 one horse riding disc harrow. Mine might even be a little narrower than the one in the video. They are fine in flat ground but I've tipped it over several times in turns. Of course without weight on it it won't penetrate for nuthin'. There's always a trade off.

I wondered about the tipping, but with a wheel and shafts as well as all the added weight of a platform and dash etc it seem very stable. I bet we have added 150/200 lbs to this unit without a person on it yet so it cuts nice!!!
