Subject: RE: Chisel plowing questions


Franklinton, LA
Your tractor will have over 10 HP per foot so it will probably pull your chisel plow. The extra draft from the wider points will probably cause the springs on the shank mounts to compress more than normal. This will usually change the angle at which the points enter the soil. If the angle of attach increases too much the chisel plow will tend to dig in and then jump. Sometimes you can adjust the compression of the springs and solve this problem. Reducing travel speed will also help solve this problem. I know of people who have replaced the springs with a piece of tubing to maintain the proper point entry angle. This will work great until you hit a rock.
