| What are your guys thoughts on one of these? Are they heavy enough and stay in the ground? How many pound trip shank are on them? What would it take to pull a11 shank? Can you get by with a one pass deal? |

western NY | I had one when they first came out, it was back when they had a joint venture with Glencoe. I was not very happy with it, I traded it after a couple of years. The trips never worked right, it would shear bolts off on the shanks rather trip the spring resets,something wasn't designed right, I complained to caseih, but never got anywhere, so I just got rid of it. |

SE MN | We have had one for years and really like it. It is the one that is identical with a Glencoe 7400. The shanks will stay in the ground as long as they are the auto rest ones. We pulled an 11 shank with a 200 pto hp tractor. The one we have now is a 13 shank. |

Southern MN | Bought one new back in about 1997 to pull behind our 230hp 4wd and were generally happy with it. It was a huge improvement over the International 55 chisel it replaced due to it's improved trash flow and increased weight. It, however, pulled HARD. We ran ours with 4" twist shovels and it was all that 4386 wanted. A few things about them; the coulters don't do much other than stabilize the machine and keep it from rocking side to side and you definitely want to make sure it is equipped with the shank extenders (3 on the 11 shank model) on the rear. We always chopped our stalks and in the spring was able to get by with two-passes with the field cultivator prior to planting. On a couple occasions when the stalks were not chopped it tended to drag, then plug with long stalks near the wheel assemblies. The trip mechanisism worked fine for us when encountering large obstructions, but I do remember replacing a fair number of shear bolts.
Hope this helps.
