Back when the 4440 was the *BIG* tractor on Kuster Farms! Not that long ago, in the grand scheme of things, and look how much things changed in such a short period of time.
we have a similar set of discs to these in new zealand, maybe an earlier model though, we normally run the outside wings folded up so we can get the penetration into our soils and unfold them for a secondary cut. good vid
the older tractors with Front Wheel Assist actually had hydraulic front drive. , the front wheels merely turned to aid in traction. The newer tractors have Mechanical Front Wheel Drive (MFWD) where the front drive wheels are actually locked and pulling a part of the load.
The disc is a 630 it's 22 ft wide. We're pulling it with a 4440 which is our big tractor. I bought the disc last fall but it turned out to pull a lot harder than expected so instead of putting my 7600 on it, we had to switch some tractors around.
Deere_ Dieselman_4630 it really sucks to have to bounce over those turn piles especially after the operator tapped something solid as they were turning and busted of the end blade. Happens seemingly every year.
If it can pull a 22ft disc with 20 inch blades. Good enough. Id only be concerned if you pull it and its going nowhere. That 4440 looks like hes going 6mph or over. Id go 4.5-5 mph taking my time pulling that big of a disc..
