Iowa | I am curious to hear arguments on one vs the other for Fall tillage on good heavy 80+CSR farms. Currently have a 5 shank Deere 510 disc ripper which could be a 7 shank based upon our horsepower but why couldn't we get away with a chisel plow which would allow us to cover more acres with less horsepower & fuel? Given not too many of us moldboard plow anymore why do we need to be going 11-13" deep vs 8" which is what a chisel plow would do?
We currently still do some CoC but that might not continue next year based upon what prices do. Other than burying residue for the CoC, would just like to do fall primary tillage on these farms with a 2-3 year rotation.
EDIT: We no-till all of our beans so fall tillage would not be done before beans unless we needed to remove compaction.
