I think discs are stupid expensive for what's there. We inquired about a couple new ones sitting on the local dealer's lot. Both Sunflower, 36 ft was about 83K and the 24 ft was 58K. No real technology built into discs, why so expensive? Smooth front and rear blades. Sealed trunion bearings on C cushion springs. Hydraulic auto leveling so whether you're discing shallow or deep front to back is level. Outer wing front gauge wheel to prevent gouging. With what we have to do I don't know if we could ever wear it out. No deal for good used either...the price of new holds up good used discs. The real peace of mind for me would be to have one hooked up on standby in the field we're harvesting in case of fire. In alot of straw or real hard dry ground a cultivator would almost be useless

Bought a Wishek tandem disc this year. Definitely overkill for what you are doing. But if you want wide and really heavy, there aren't a lot of other choices.

So far, I have proven that they aren't indestructible. Broke one shaft, one half spool, some blades, replaced 3 bearings.

On the positive, the frame is indestructible. Every moving part is greaseable, including bearings, bearings are cheap compared to oil bath. It has enough weight to cut through anything, even rocks and stumps, but that much weight on one blade over an obstacle doesn't end well, see above...

I have a 22’ Wishek 842NT for sale with 29.25” blades (new is 30”) front and rear in the Peace. I just want to get a bigger one now (bought a larger tractor earlier this year). Has only ever been used on heavy sod.

Probably pulled half a dozen different disks plus vt.
Decide what you want to do. Then how quickly. Then how much you like fixing.

That about sums it up
