Has anyone used a JD 2680H high speed disk on terraced ground? Does it work okay?

Question

Answer

We have a 40 foot that we use over the terraces and it works great. It seems like the straighter you go over the terrace the less damage you will have to the terrace. With a 40 foot plow if you get the middle of a big section going down the  top of the terrace it seems like it would damage the terrace more.

Answer

Would not recommend to be they have lots of issues. We had the be for a year and replaced all plastic bushings twice. Not to mention frame broke and they didn’t want to replace it there cure was to weld it.

Answer

We are in an area that is all terraced (SE Nebraska) and we love it and had one for about 10 years now. We stayed with a 15 knife but do see a lot of the 19 knife around us just we never needed to go that big with the tractor we use on it.  As long as you are going with the contour of the terrace it works great cause it flexed and each row individual flexed as well, so it worked far better then our old knife bar.  We have had to but bushings in as well but seems like we get 8-10,000 acres before we get that problem.  They are very off season high in maintenance but as long as you do it we love the fact that in season very little ever goes wrong we have to fix so we can keep running.
