| IMO, a person can wring out most of the benefits of a disc/ripper with a coulter chisel, at much less overall expense. Especially if next crop will be beans, as beans simply ain’t all that fussy. The big disc ripper market is all but about dead, with high speed type discs being all the rage. I’m still amazed at how good of a job 45 year old Glencoe soil savers do with good twisted shovels. Personally I don’t mind leaving ridges, going without a leveler, because the uneven surface exposes more of the soil profile to the air, promoting better drying in the spring. This is a trade off I’d be willing to endure, rough ride in spring pass vs earlier field operations, more uniform drying of the soil. My personal preference, as always your mileage will vary greatly I’m sure.
