I bought a new 220 when they first came out (yellow gang) and what a piece of poop, you needed a motor grader behind it to level things back out and it wouldn't stay together either, going down the road one day hit a small bump and that turnbuckle broke talk about blacktop flying everwhere.
Traded it off for a 235 (black gang) and it was as good of a disc as the 220 was bad.

Lloyd, the front turnbuckle is to level the disk in transport ONLY. You level the disk to use with the nuts on the rod behind the spring. Once the turnbuckle is set you will have no reason to move it as long as the tractors you use it with have the approximately same drawbar height. Mike

I agree with you 100%. We use our old 220 for a doner of spools, wheel hubs, and spindles for our 235.
