Jim: I never had much to do with a chisel plow, however I did briefly use my neighbors 11 shank behind my 1066 with duals. Must have been 1' spacing as it was just width of tractor with duals. Like some of the others said I think you will run out of traction before power. I had no problem with duals, but am sure I would have without as I never used chloride or weigths.

I see guys going with 5 shanks 2' apart and making 2 passes, in such a way that gives them one shank per foot. Seems like keeping that spacing accurate may be a pain. You would need to arange this with your wheel tread, as on second pass you will want tractor on solid soil.

I do something like this with my Farmall 130 in my garden, but only going about 6 to 8 inches deep. I have 3 shanks on a tool bar. My little tractor is on 52" wheel tread thus I have one shank in center and one in center of each wheel. I can set over roughly 1/2 of tractor each time giving me 13" tooth spacing. Not bad on my little garden, but not sure I'd want to tackle 10 acres.

The other factor I'm finding with this, I get much more effective tillage going once and then diagnol each way.
