Thanks. We have one of them.
Never heard them called a short disc.
Is there a long disc?
A short disc is a lot lighter than the ‘heavy discs’ of old, designed more to go fast & shallow.
A versatile bit of kit ime.

A short disc is a great tool. Not too expensive if you keep away from the prestige brandsView attachment 906124
Doing the same today all be it with auto reset, a tined cultivator can remove compaction and wheelings from harvesting and spraying, which is where the short discs fall short imo. In a dry year or if you have a combine on tracks then it's perhaps not a problem.We have given this a try today. Quite impressed with it, and not overly expensive though it is ex demo, not new.View attachment 906160View attachment 906161
A polish brand. Tolmet.what brand is this ?
You need a terradisc. Subdisc is overkillWhat sort of power do the sub disc take to pull got a 140hp here only want to go 5 inch down but to just make 1 pass as we are going over twice with a set of pigtail drags at present
I love shakerators but not stubble cultivator, more a deep loosener. Get a 3 or 4m terradisc type cultivator. Great tools.Something 150hp will pull - cheapish n cheerful ?
What make is the one you are using? Yes a good packer on the back, though we will probably run over with a set of rolls after using it as it comes up a bit nobbly as the packer has a large gaps in it. I do not mind this as it should not block up.Doing the same today all be it with auto reset, a tined cultivator can remove compaction and wheelings from harvesting and spraying, which is where the short discs fall short imo.

@Poncherello1976 looks a decent packer on that Dalbo

@robbie saw the light and went from pigtails to a terradisc. I told him it would be life changing....What sort of power do the sub disc take to pull got a 140hp here only want to go 5 inch down but to just make 1 pass as we are going over twice with a set of pigtail drags at present

150hp to move it around the yard! Looks like you'd need a Quadtrak to make it sing!
Steady on @Flat 10 or your hat wont fit.
Still using the Pigtail.
What I've been doing recently is post harvest apply muck and roar the stubbles up with the pigtail to incorporate muck, get a chit and remove wheeling. The plan is to go through next time with terradisc and drill behind.
