One neighbor has a CaseIH machine with fluted, only slightly concave discs. He calls it vertical tillage. It chops, but hardly moves any soil. He goes over the ground several times and finally gets the seedbed he wants. His stand is nice, but with the floods we've been getting his erosion is terrible.
