I should say I am just wanting to bust compaction and level on one pass in sod and stalks then plant. I don't want to make multiple trips.
I think you are expecting too much n one pass tillage. Compaction is often below shallow tillage range. I have seen some one pass that disc +3” a chisel maybe +8” a second disc in 3” area. Followed by a Danish tine cultivator 5 row spike tooth.
Guy used in spring on cornstalks. Very dry. It was one pass tillage. I would not bet on it most springs.
I used to hire sub soil every +5 years on certain fields. I finally decided it was not worth it.
I still like fall disc/chisel. Spring disc-o-vator, plant. Some have tried no till soybeans in corn. It’s not confirmed which is best. Exact autosteer might make no till better soon. When you can set year to year. My area 30” corn 22” beans are common.
Now if 15” it should be easy to no till. 7.5” from corn row should get decent soil. Then 30” corn next year dead center of last corn. So corn roots have +3 years to decompose? *of course other factors.
I like worked ground. I do much, much less tillage now.
Many springs I work last year soybeans, lightly chisel plowed last fall once with melroe Danish tine, drag, plant.
Last fall ground was too hard, broke stuff. So this spring single pass discovator. *except new CRP came out weeks before planting it got 3x* |
What are the models of a disk ripper disk?
