20 miles west of Indianapolis Indiana | That would be unbearable to follow a typical chisel plow in the spring with a planter.
On bean stubble we will hit it once with a field cultivator or a one pass type finisher (we have both and truly just depends on what’s available, bean stubble is easy to level back out) and then plant.
On corn stalks we will sometimes get by with 1 pass of again either the FC or 1 pass. Sometimes the stalks are thick enough from last fall it needs a second pass to pass the eye appeal test. I’ve planted beans into one passed stuff that visually really looked like it needed hit again, but after done planting it looked great and never balled up anywhere and the beans looked just like any other bean when emerging
There are some higher dollar fall deep tillage tools that leave a nice finish and probably could just hit the ends in the spring and get by. I’ve never been in one of those fields. I’m betting the spray guy wouldn’t love it. But I doubt it’d beat the planter apart and would plant fine |
For you guys that chisel plow?
