The 2600 is a heavy disk spools ect. 7guage blades or heavier and I think 24'' blades. The 2500 was somewhat lighter but still does a good job in stalks. 2500 had 7-9" spacing and I think the 2600had 9-11'. PersonallyI like the 2500 better.Have had one for 20 years and would buy another if they were still built.

We have a pair of 2600's , 25'and 30', they are even painted green (Deutz). The 30' looks good behind the Steiger anyway. These disks are basically good. For primary tillage I would stay with the 2600 series, larger blades, wider blade spacing and more weight per foot for better penetration. look closely though in the area of the transport wheel modules, if these aren't greased daily the bushings wear ,pins, etc. We do find in heavy irrigated corn stalks(BT),the best results are when we shred the stalks first, it lets the residue flow through and just leaves things nicer for a one-pass in the spring. Good-luck, Mike

Seems like they were made by Sunflower which builds a very good disk

We had a 2600 for quite a few years, its a great disc and does a beautiful job in pretty well all types of soil and leaves a smooth level job, it is a lot heavier model than the 2500, ours had 24" blades that were quarter inch thick and had 9" blade spacing. like the poster above said the wheels need to be greased alot along with the pivot points on the frame, theres lots to grease, our 30' disc took nearly 3 tubes of grease to do everything on the whole disc. We traded it this past fall for a Salford, which is made here in Ontario. If you do buy it we have a few parts that are new, if you need anything please let me know here, thanks and hope this helps some.

We only used it on about a hundred acres or so last fall, it did a real nice job as far as leveling went, we had Salfords heavy duty 3 bar tine harrows on doing corn stalks and it smoothed things out nicely. So far i like the coil rock flex on the gangs, it does not plug up with stalks like the C coil rock flex did. It pulls quite hard but we were going about 6" with it, like i said it really chewed up the stalks nice. I would recommend it to anyone but will know more once we get the spring work throught it and some rye and wheat stubble in summer, if you need anymore information please let me know.

Do any of you guys have experience with a 2300 model diskIJ I am looking at a 14' 2300. Wondered if there are any weak points or other things to look for other than blades, bearings etc.

I think they were all Allis built by Allis in laPort, Indiana until plant closed and then landahl (please excuse spelling if wrong) built the exact disk for Allis or Deutz-Allis. They also took over production of beloved 1400 field cultivators and row crop planters. We started handleing Sunflower a few years back awhile after Allis went away and that was the first I had heard of them. Anyone know the history on SunflowerIJ

Actually Vermeer in Pella, Iowa built the spring green versions of the tillage and planters for Deutz-Allis. I toured the factory in 1990 or 1991 and they were building them then. Also were building Fiat-Allis road graders and JD hay rakes in addition to Vermeer hay equipment and trenchers.

Sorry about that. Vermeer and landahl kind of run together in my line of thought. Not to familiar with either but know that landahl has or had row crop planter. Thanks for correction.
