SC Wisconsin | Been looking for a heavy duty disc chisel for this fall as my old chisel retired itself with 5 acres left last year. I was set on a sunflower 4212/4213, landoll 2110, or the older case ih/glencoe 6650 chisels. Basically something with the trip shanks and not the ones that are just spring pressure and won't maintain depth. I liked my old wilbeck disc chisel with the 4" twisted shovels for really turning it black on corn ground and mixing in bed pack manure spread on bean stubble. I'm switching over to 90% continuous corn due to needing more feed, bedding and consequently more manure to get rid of so might as well plant corn. Would you guys think a ripper would be better in my scenario? I'm not sure on gross weight of the loaded spreader but I heap it full and it's a 500 bu spreader. I try to spread when it's dry to minimize compaction but we all know how that goes. Im sure i have some compaction areas, so id like to tear them out but i also need to get a decent mix on manure covered ground. I also leave the stalks on hills and areas that are more prone to erosion so it would need to be able to flow trash well enough in 200+ bu corn. Ideally I'd buy a newer disc chisel and an inline ripper but the machinery budget only goes so far this year. I know I'm asking alot, but would a guy be happy with a 527b in this scenario or should I still look for a heavy duty disc chisel? Whatever it is will be pulled by a 7140 magnum fwa. Thanks | |
