brahamfireman Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I've got 2 landlord's that put in deer plots, I used the 14' IH 470 disc with the 856. Small field close to farm is clay and wasn't much of a load but today I went up to the sand field and worked 3 acres twice. 1st high, direct was a good load with the disc buried to the spools. Definitely needs wheel weights, plenty of tire spin. Love the sound of the turboed 407! 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sledgehammer Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Nice pics. I’ve got a 14’ 370. The 470 must weigh a fair amount more. Tandem lift wheels and heavier frame at least by the looks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH Forever Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I have 14' 470 and Dad still has the old 14' 37 he used when I was very young. Huge difference between the 2. But as was mentioned the 470 is still quite light compared to a 490, 496, or modern disk. My 470 has single wheels, tandems were an option.

nepoweshiekfarmalls Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Looking good! A turbo 407 does sound sweet under load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars (midessa) Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Wow, H1 with a disk? That moving right along! We pulled JD disk’s in L3, wot, not that pulled to hard, L3 was just the right ground speed without the front gangs throwing the soil too far out for the rear gangs to grasp the soil.

brahamfireman Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 Doesn't look much lighter than a 470. Got to remember I was in dry sand. Heavy clay it'll never drop in real deep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
