At that time it was figured 10 HP per shank and that is on a 12" shank spacing It is 8 shanks so that would be 80 horse min. I had a 5000 Ford and 7 shank 3 point Ford chisel and could only pull it in some ground 6" deep, other ground had to go down to 5 shanks to pull it. And then it still was not as deep as should have been still only about 7". Only unless you have very easy working ground will you be able to use it and then not deep enough to fracture the soil as should be. And your 4 wheel drive will not help at all because you just do not have enough horsepower to put to the ground. If and I do not know if it is possible but could you arange the shanks for 5 shanks set 12" apart then you might be able to do a decent job with it but again that depends on how your ground works. Mine I just used on rented farm that was called highly eroadable ground and did not have the clay that I had here at home where it would not work at all. And you need speed for a chisel to fracture the soil as they are designed for, slow will not fracture but just cut groves. I got rid of that chisel long before I retired from farming. And it would only work in bean stubble ground, wheat stubble would not work or corn stalks either. The new chisels to get them to work they run a 15" spacing and 15" deep to get a field tore up as deep as a moldboard going 9" deep because that extra depth is not fractured but just groves cut in.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
