Does anyone have experience with these discs, seem to be well built, made in Denny NSW.
After 30 years of Notill I think a bit of cultivation is just around the corner..

Vertical till with adjustable gangs is what you would want, you won't be happy with the disc as it will set your no-till program back 3 years, vertical till with adjustable gangs will smooth it out a bit but leave your seed bed fairly intact and the vertical till will be a useful tool for many years

Good solid disc, well made and the Ennor family have excellent after sales service. We have a 30 foot offset (can't remember how many discs) and a disc banker (for building rice banks). There are many units in the Southern Riverina. They even post Christmas cards to their clients.

Keep hearing about vertical till, what is it, will it control weeds can you give us some examples of machines that you would call vertical till.
My biggest issue is resistant weeds after 30 years of no cultivation...

Countrywide Industries in Dubbo make a good plow as well. The owner is an obliging bloke as well. Haven' used Ennor but they look alright.

I need a set of disc in 2012 for 1000ha of wild we were bring into line. I called a bloke with a ennor for sale, he had sold it and told me to buy a grizzly as bearings are a lot less work to change. I bought a old s56 grizzly done the work then sold it same year. The blokes that bought the grizzly had a ennor and sold it, they were irrigating lazier country and clamed ennor did not level well and would only have a grizzly. That is my little bit I have had to do with discs. Sold grizzly in two weeks for more than paid, 1200ha and some small repairs.

I can't find an English page for it but the Horsch Anderson Joker

The three I listed websites for can be used as disks or just cutting up residue and drying things out

The Joker at very shallow depths can blacken things up and and even make kocia two feet high in one pass disappear

Hope this helps ya find something or give ya some more options, someone also may have some other ideas that may work for ya

Doc.
Ennor makes a very good disc,as does Grizzly.
The latest idea for weed removal, is a one pass, shallow working, high speed disc that utilises smaller, closely spaced, shallow working angle disc plates, followed by a crumbler basket/roller. The discs plates are often independently mounted on their own arm, for optimum ground following as in K-line speed tiller, Degelman pro-til etc , Horsh Anderson Joker???, and Lemken Rubin or the discs are gang mounted as in CaseIH 330 turbo, and Landoll VT.

I actually tried a Joker Lynas, did a couple of paddocks and it worked well except the tight clay, just felt it wasn't going to do the job everywhere, plus it was about $40k more.....

Did you need more penetration weight for the tight clay areas?

Yep, wings wanted to ride out.

If you don`t need independently mounted disc plates, and still want the high speed one pass machine, then have a look at Case 330 turbo (I`m presuming caseIH sell them here in Australia) or Landoll VT which is heavier still and sold by Geronimo industries in Cowra NSW. Perhaps there are other dealers for the Landoll that you would know of.

Keep in mind that case will really ridge if you are not careful, I have a friend that demoed one last year, was so proud of it he had no idea what he had done untill it was too late
