Have 2 newly aquired farms that, after excavating plots, have discovered they have serious hard pan issues, which explains alot of the variance from soil potential to actual yeilds and crop stress issues. Some as shallow as 4" down and 2-13" thick, other areas 8" down and up to a foot or more thick. Super, super hard. After coring we actually found moisture and loose subsoil. NRCS and agronimist say tillage radishes nor alot of slow rains will even be able to get through it. Soils spring mold board plowed for decades, and then last couple years previos renter hit with Wishek disk, in very wet springs. SI I am gonna buy a decent but economical ripper Looking at a 5 shank Tebbon DT5-30 and a Kewanee 2500 5 shank 30". Is there a better of the two? Will a 180-200hp 4WD be ok with it, as in places have to go deep. Plan is to rip, spread manure, disk or chisle in about 4-6" and plant Trytical all within the same week. Any opinions or advice. Is lighter soils, no issues of yellow clay found dwn there yet.
