Mentioned it on another disc harrow thread but I think it would be worth getting at least one complete left/right spare leg assembly so you can just unbolt it at the frame bracket and get back working and repair the bearing another day
I wonder if they are greasable should the hubs/bearings last a lifetime? Unless they manage to work loose the locking pin inside they should be very longlasting with regular greasing. I repaired a Tolmet hub and it was scarce in the grease department.

I don't have a clue whether the Namyslo have sealed oil hubs or greaseable standard hubs, but both have there positives and negatives.
The sealed oil hubs will tend to last longer, but when they start to let go they all tend need replacing and are dear.
The greaseable standard hubs tend to have some go a bit earlier and others that last a lot longer, but are cheaper and easier to do.
No matter which hub it is very cheap and easy to have at least one left and right leg spare to swop out quickly and easily.

Depends on the angle of the disc what forces are applied to the bearing and can dirt get in to the bearings. If you look at the various Polish disc harrows on Agriaffaires most are only asking a few hundred to add sealed bearings.
The Mandam looks tidy but it is almost Western Europe established manufacturer price but without the resale value.
 
Last couple of years been thinking about buying a disc harrow, mainly just for freshening up ploughed ground in reseeds or ripping up the wild bird covers which we sow a lot of on hire. Decided to keep the amazone offered to us earlier this year, a lot of work to be done with it but I have from now until February before I get busy with hire work again so it’s something to do more than anything. Got a full set of discs and there bolts and nuts full set of bearings, full set of seals, new rollers for transport position, new bushings and new crumbler bearings for it. Altogether the disc and all of the parts came to 4820 including the vat. Have all my own labour to put in now but it’s more something to do than anything now for winter, might get it sand blasted and sprayed too depending how it goes

I've the words of a second hand machinery dealer who I've got good time for right ring through my ears reading that. Who is going to buy these disc harrows realistically when they are worn out and need lots of wearing metal.

Looking at the prices above for the parts alone he was not far wrong!

The disc was 3000 including the vat the parts were 1820 including the vat
Edit 1920 including the vat for parts

I will price up replacement discs and a spare hub/leg before I buy, 40% discount when new might not be a bad deal.

I would have thought the only difference between a sealed bearing and greaseable hub was the price of a grease nipple fitted and the inner seals removed in the bearings?

Like all disc harrows when worn out all you’ve left is a frame and crumbler, as long as bearings are standard and discs are available/competitively priced they should be as saleable. How long a set of discs will last in stubble is another guess...
 
Ended up doing the 12 discs on the back row today and the bearings, probably could have got away with doing just 3 of the bearings on the back row, but Iv heard the serrated disc is harder on bearings than the round disc, whether that’s true or not I don’t know, the seal kit I’m using is a kit for 17.50 it’s not the genuine amazone kit, apparently if you do the bearings before they get bad you can get away with this kit rather than the genuine 70 euro amazone seal kit, might leave 3 or 4 of the best bearings on the front row and see how long they last. Could end up sickening myself if they don’t go for a few years then :rolleyes:
 
Trying to get rid of some photos off the phone to add a bit of memory and coming across some pictures from when I worked in Germany so I’ll throw a few up

5 minutes outside of Brandenburg, 40 mins from Berlin, worked there for 6 months great experience all tillage/machinery work I was at but there was 1200 cows milking and a large pig unit there too
Nice, a great experience for sure.
I thought it looked like the former East Germany.
They like their big Deere’s over there.
 
They love the john deeres, 8400R 8370R 8320R 7270R 6210R that was the John deeres. Couple of deutz too, a 7250 and 2 6180’s. Couple of older masseys then and tvt new Holland’s. Crops grown were wheat, barley, rye and maize. All min till with the exception of 400 acres of land heavier than anything I have here in Galway. That used to be ploughed with a 7 furrow non reverse and drilled with the 4 metre one pass in the pictures.
 
700 whitetorn in, hedge done now, something to be at these days anyway, hopefully allow me to take out a hedge between 2 tillage fields in another spot next year
