Sounds like a winner!! The shallower you plow the plow pan your stuck on isn’t as deep and the ruts from plowing aren’t as deep so less follow up tillage.
I have read enough of your plowing reply's to see you never knew how to plow properly or didn't have good equipment. newer plows have points on the shares that go deeper and seem to not cause a "plow pan". my plow jobs can be one pass in the spring and plant, but I always do two because being hay or corn field receiving manure you can run 12-15 mph across the field smooth as a kitten. there are no big ruts or dead furrows. you need to know how to work a plow. if I make a dead furrow, and I make them shallower than the rest of the plowing, I fill it back in the next time its plowed. field never gets out of level.
our fields layed water after 15 years of minimum till and notill, all dairy ground so lots of traffic, and the deep rippers and subsoiler solved nothing with the laying water. once the plow was brought back the water is gone and the yields are up. clay loam with grey clay subsoils here. | |
