I have just about every soil type on my farm. I usually pull a Brillion 3 shank subsoiler with a Kubota M6800 4wd with a loader. 62 PTO HP, 57 drawbar HP. 17" deep, no-till points. No coulters. I could pull most of the time in L3 until I added 600 pounds of weight to the rear wheels. Then I could only pull in L2 due to reduced wheel slippage although I was going faster in L3 slipping than I was in L2 not slipping so much. I let the lift arms sway a quite a bit. That way when I hit smaller rocks the shanks will either shift to one side or the other or roll the rock up out of the ground. Then I put the rock in the loader bucket on the next pass. The shanks on this subsoiler are parabolic which pull easier than straight shanks. Non-reset, shear bolt protected. I have never sheared a bolt. When I hit an immovable object, the tractor spins out. When I pull with a 125 HP tractor (my next size up) I can go faster but will shear pins. Not good. I sheared 42 pins one day before I learned to slow down but even then that only helps a little bit. I actually get more work done with the smaller tractor. I also have a 4 shank CaseIH subsoiler, straight shank with coulters, that I pull with a 125 HP tractor. That's the one I use most of the time. Coulters are a must if you have a lot of residue.

Today's Featured Article - Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Plugs & Compression Testing - by Curtis Von Fange. The engine seems to run rough. In the exhaust you can hear an occasion 'poofing' sound like somethings not firing on all cylinders. Under loaded conditions the tractor seems to lack power and it belches black smoke out of the exhaust. For some reason it just doesn't want to start up without cranking and cranking the starter. All these conditions can be signals that your unit is in need of a tune up. Ok, so what is involved in a tune up? You say, swap plugs and file the points....now tha
