Attachment Help
Ok, I know there is not going to be an easy answer, but here is my quandary.
I recently purchase an IH856 (100 PTO HP 10,300lbs), which has changed my ability to perform tasks on my farm.
Prior to this I only had a Case-IH JX60 (52 PTO HP 6300lbs, according to Nebraska testing).
With this I have a 3 16 White 508 moldboard and an 8 Buhler Farm King three point disk, along with planting equipment which is not my main concern. Main concerns with moldboard are the soil compaction, which I believe already to be an issue and the time with both the mold board and only 8 disk.
Now it's time for me to make decisions on the potential of upgrading the size of attachment/s. With this I'm trying to go thru what my best approach would be.
I'm considered doing away with the moldboard and going to chisel. I know there is a lot of discussion on what constitutes a real chisel or just a field cultivator.
With what is considered to be a real chisel, would it be feasible to think I could pull 7 shank or even possible a 9? Soil would be considered a medium almost silt like. It is definitely not like the heavy soil I was used to as a kid, 4040JD had difficult time with same white 508 with 4 16?
I have considered upping the disk size to better match the 856 and cutting my time down here. I'm also considering the use of a ripper, to help break up the compaction.
I'm not familiar with using a chisel or deep ripper, as it was not part of the practices used when I was a kid. There was a near 20 year gap in my getting back at it, so any advice would be appreciated.Last edited by jsberhow; 03-28-2011 at 09:58 PM.

Re: Attachment Help
Next to the quote button, you can click the "Edit" button (down to the right) and fix the wording (only for 24 hours)
It's a problem with copy and paste from Word documents (usually). Any thing with an apostrophe I've or it's or I'll and I've (commonly).
Sorry no help with the real question... Got a photo of the tractor
TractorByNet.com, WAS next best thing to seat time - not any more.
