Ive acquired a good set of 10’ Parmiter discs (possibly Force10 model?), and I’m wondering if you are meant to use them on the 3pt link or on the drawbar? Or can you use them both ways, and if so what are the benefits of each?

I had a set like that and always used them on the 3 point linkage. The reason being that I always remember doing some disking with my father's set of trailed disks when I was a schoolboy. The land had been ploughed and left with a narrow headland, so I disked it in lands. The result was that the headland got over worked. If we had had a lot of rain after. the soil would have slumped.
