ECIL | I did with a DMI 2500 and MRD points if corn was planted in damper soils. I don't recall if I came out money ahead or if it was a breakeven with the added cost of inline ripping. "Here" soils the following spring tend to be wetter since water holding capacity is increased due to more cracks in the soil profile resulting from inline ripping so there could be a trade-off with planting conditions. Otherwise the planter had no problem placing seed and the surface was smooth enough for notilling. I had to wait several day for stalks to settle before ripping to reduce chances of plugging even with coulters. Sometimes I would only rip field ends, entrances, and low spots. | |
