North End I-15 | The Case 1680 and 1688 needed chaff spreaders for no till wheat and barley .
Could deffinitely see chaff smothering in field prior to chaff spreaders .
Heavy harrowing will not move chaff , Been there also . Total waste of time in a no till system . Just spreads weeds from a localized spot to all over your field. We block farm most every thing fields were from 12 to 800 acres in size. Used to follow combine with 72 ' Heavy harrow as fields were harvested.
Quit harrowing after seeing the terrible results of spreading localized problem weed to all over the blocks. Weed seeds and thins blown over will weather out nicely over winter here. The UV and weather on surface is better in small grains than harrowing.
Yourt next crop start out the back of the combine . Meaning that , that is the last field operation till preplant spraying. Get that chaff and straw spread uniformly with combine. Perhaps a late fall spraying is last operation for the year. The less traffic in field the better . | |

Is a chaff spreader worth having on a combine?
