Educate me on a Deere chisel plow? My current tillage arsenal includes a 2623 disk and a 11 shank 512 disk ripper. Ive never been around a chisel plow and was wondering if that would be a happy medium for doing corn om corn acres. To me it seems the disk doesn't do enough and the ripper is overkill. Like I said I've been around a chisel. Chopping cornhead so didn't know if plugging would be an issue with these or not. Thanks
Twice you say “Chisel Plow”. But question is disc unit?
Strait Chisel plows were ok in corn that’s been chopped for silage, or stalk chopped *in some manner cornhead, devistators, stalk chopper..* then raked, baled. Or maybe disc it first but poor corn. Otherwise chisel plow IMO was not the tool. Plugged, bunches, not good job.
After moleboard plow we used a Brillion. I hooked Á springtooth behind but not for cornstalks. Now a White 435. It’s best chopped corn stalks not be too wet. Plugging happens. I bid on sunflower unit. But it was bit oversized.
Just found out owner did not sell at auction. I might give him an offer end of month. ^figure remove two outside shanks* it might be sized to my tractor. Just overlap with discs Á lot more. They look to handle a lot more leaves, stalks better. |
Disk chisel vs disk ripper
