Hi, we are looking for a 3 pt disc for our 24 hp kubota tractor. We are going to be doing a one acre plot. We would like to pay less than 400 dollars for anything less than 6 ft but greater than tiny. Any reccomendations? Anything other than a tiller that can do the same job as a disc? Thanks

I would think anything more than a 4' disc would be too much for a 24 hp tractor. I use a 6' Land Pride, which is pretty heavy, and I can get in soils that make my 57 hp Kubota spin a wheel occasionally. If you have front wheel assist, you might get by with bigger. Kinda depends on your soils and how deep you want to disc.

Have you checked your local farm supply store? They usually carry what you're looking for. King Kutter and Woods are 2 pretty good brands.

Back when I used to have only a tiny tractor like that (JD 25 hp) I used a 5-foot JD 3-pt disc. Worked ok, but I had to load it down with weight to get it to bite into the soil at all. Biggest downfall of those small cheap lightweight discs is the lack of sealed bearings. Constantly need to be re-packed with grease and they still wear out fast. The answer, for me, was a bigger tractor, which handles a bigger, better-built disc.

Well, it is a diesel tractor with a pto, so it is pretty powerful.

I have a Land Pride. It's pretty heavy-duty, and does a good job. I had two more before that, one used, one new, and they didn't last too long. A good heavy-duty disc should last for years just food plotting.
There are many different brands, Tractor Supply has some mid-weight discs, and tractor dealers usually have discs, but I would peruse the internet and research brands before I bought. Pay attention to weight, if they're too light, they won't last. Good luck !
