Building a \"chisel plow\" for CUT.
OK, its really a small chisel plow. I am putting together a 3-POINT HITCH garden tillage tool from parts off an old field digger. It will be pulled by a jd4100, 20HP 4wd hydro. I think I can pull 7 tines thru the garden, expecting to take them to maybe a foot depth after a couple passes. Sound reasonable? these are the 2" wide tines (are they called danish tines?, can't remember). They are each spring loaded to the frame. I have all the materials now and will start this weekend, pictures then. If anybody has any feedback on the 7 tines, let me know. I was going to use 9 tines, but started to get nervous. I want to be able to pull it. I have turfs, btw. And can have the loader on for more weight. ThANKS.
