You do NOT need a double acting cylinder at any time on that disk unless you are trying to carry the wheel for extra weight for penetration in hard ground. For normal plowed ground you want to have the wheels actually carring the weight so the disk is not trying to cut over 3" deep, 4" max and that disk with decent blades not wore out with out the wheels partily carring the disk it would want to cut6" or more deep and you dont need that for any crop that I know of. And not pulling strait (tracking) tires that are not matched in size will make it so one side wants to cut deeper than the other and side cutting deeper will pull harder to make the tracking off to side. Yes you do have to level it. And that model being a non adjustable angle disk will always even set correctly will ridge especially at higher speeds. And the back blades on the outside will always leave a furrow due to angle of blade and center of disk will leave a ridge if too fast of travel as it will throw the dirt to far and double up what it should be doing. Those disks being a rigid frame with non adjustable gang angle were never a good finnishing disk like the KBA that you thought it was. Ford pentration it is better than the KBA. I had the KBA in both the wheel carried and pull type with out the wheel carrier and that was always my last time over finnishing disdk as it could be set with the gangs fairly strait and it would still penetrate and not do the ridging in center or furrows at outside. I had a McCormick No. 37 disk that was a heavier disk and rigid frame like yours but with adjustable angle gangs and I never ran it with full angle on the guangs as that takes more power to pull and being ridgid it would always if toy were doing any turning ridge and leave more of a furrow, I also had a Burch and Kewanee disk both ridiged frame and non adjustable gang angle and they did not stay around too long. And get yourself some duals on rear of that tractor as it will realy help with the ride and also with traction and in helping with the raction will cut your fuel usage. And your tractor is made for a high pressure single action cylinder so you could NOT use a double acting cylinder with factory setup on hydrilics. Only thing is an 8" cylinder on any older implements as a 10" stroke could break the frame of the inplement. First diked 60 some years ago. Lots of experiance with many a disk.
