It will be blown after it gets the guts slung out trying to pull it for a day.jehosofat said:ddd75 said:
One of two things . . . . . You either have a Blown Alcohol Tracor, or you're top dressing a concrete parking lot.

Our 5400 can relate to that.

My kubota 8540 and deere 5093e had all they wanted with a 7' offset this past year

Offset requires a lot more hp than finishing disk.

I have an Oliver 1755 , 85 hp , at 9500 lbs, rear wheel drive, pulls a 14 ft disc easily. Built in 1975, $11500 new.
I'd opt for a drag rather than 3 pt and go with a 10' heavy disc run fast enough to sling dirt. That way you can set your height with your hydraulics (much easier and better controlled) and adjust the depth to suit the occasion. I always liked to load up my discs with weights as rolling discs work in heavy clay whether you are plowing or smoothing. Currently I run a Hay King (brand) Pasture Renovator over the field to open up the soil and then come back with the above, followed by a chain type spike toothed harrow, dragging behind the disc ( usually)....done deal.
