Thank you for the explanation for building rows like that! I'm from Indiana and we plant after discing flat. Since you explained makes sense now. Never had one, but a Farmall Super C is on my bucket list! Jeff
For a small operation, a Super C is the perfect size and so handy. I do recommend the 1953 or 54 models with the 2 point fast hitch (or Farmall 200 and 230).
Hi Jason. I get my blades here locally from United Ag. Last time I bought some, they were around $15 each. I know there are also vendors on the internet that sell disc blades. I have noticed that the aftermarket blades are shaped a little bit differently than the IH blades, but I haven't had any issues with them (the original IH blades have a flatter center and then curve whereas the new aftermarket blades have the same curvature throughout).
@rustyrelicsranch one more question, what are the blade sizes, same size per gang or staggered sizes. Trying to find them on the upper texas coast is not easy
@@jasonfilipp5848 The blades in the furrow are 16" and are new ones. The middle and top of row blades are used and slightly smaller (like 15-1/4 or 15). The ones in the furrow wear the fastest and on an old disk, are the smallest so I put new ones in the furrow and then rearrange the others as necessary to get the staggered sizes.
Hate to show my ignorance here, but what is the purpose the rolling procedure? You plant on top of the berms? How is that beneficial in hot and dry Texas? Again this is completely foreign to someone who grew up in Minnesota.
It creates a raised seed bed, and yes, we plant on that once the top has been flattened down some (see the video where I pull a harrow behind the row disk. Also planting). West Texas is hot & dry, but South Texas is hot and wet and flat so it keeps the crop out of the water when it rains several inches at a time.
So amazing sir thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful opportunity to see
That is awesome!

Good job
I need one of those. Thanks for sharing.
Wow that’s a nice bedder.👍
Those are some fine looking rows you listed up. Those would work great for planting tobacco.
Thanks! I like hearing the different perspectives from around the country. You must be on the East coast.
@@rustyrelicsranch Yes sir. North Carolina. At one time, practically everyone here grew tobacco including me.
Never seen a rig like that here in North Texas. Wonder how well it would have worked in Blackland?
It works well in blackland, but I remember having to fabricate some blade scrapers because it can get pretty sticky when wet.
I have a super c as well, and need new disc blades for mine. Any ideas where you can get them. Thanks. JF

@@rustyrelicsranch thank you so much for your help and information
What are planning on planting?
Primarily corn and a little milo.

Looks great you have to be way south
Thanks! Yes, south central Texas. Lots of corn, milo, cotton, soybeans, and rice.
