We have a Kelley. I've heard the Humdinger is a cheaper imitation that can have frame cracking problems if treated rough. We use ours a lot and continue to be impressed with its versatility. Imagine a disk that will only cut about 1" deep. No ridging, no clods, easy to pull, virtually no maintenance. We run it in rice stubble, take out volunteer corn and weeds about 6 weeks post corn harvest in standing stalks- it will absolutely pulverize everything but leave the beds intact enough that you can rehip them. We've used it to drag beds in the spring when we needed to be more aggressive than a do-all to get to moisture. Would be great for covering wheat or incorporating yellows. Overall, probably one of the best implement purchases we've ever made.

Looks interesting. Used to have an implement up here that looked a lot like it, Phoenix harrow. Not many still around that I'm aware of. The big complaint was balling up in wet/damp conditions. Would pick up trash and pack with dirt and make one big mess. excelphoenix.com/excel-rotary-harrows/ |

One of my BTO neighbors has a phoenix, I got jealous enough of his nice seed beds that I bought one too. Ours are both 55ft models. I pull mine about 13mph doesn't take long in any one field. Transport leaves something to be desired.
