didn't learn physics but tell me how an angled vt tool is any difference than a conventional disc? You're still smearing the soil beneath the blades, causing the same soil damage from creating a layer correct?
Darn smartphone wouldn't let me quote or you would know that I was responding to FlyinIL22. Your physics is right on.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough. A disk not going very deep with the weight being carried on the tires would have less pounds/blade than a VT going as deep as possible. The concave shape of the disk creates more of a compaction layer versus straight blade if the pounds were equal. Where am I wrong with the physics?
