Subject: Re: great plaines turbo chisel



East Central Iowa
How does it do in heavy trash? It seems like with only two rows of shanks the back row of inline shanks 30" could plug a little or does the turbo disc blades in front chop up the residue enough? I see the front row of shanks are staggered a little bit. Would like to get something we can run directly in cornstalks without needing to disc in front of the chisel. The JD714 doesn't quite do it all the time.

Also if you are running all chisel shanks on it (instead of a row of ripper shanks in front) how much HP do you really need per shank (clay to clay-sand mix soils, some hills)? Their literature lists 30 hp per shank on the rigid models (and for some reason 25 to 30 for the folding ones). I would guess for all chisel points you only need 20 to 25?

Thanks!!
