It’s been over 4 years since I’ve seen dry ground.
We’ve had 3 inches the past few days, and are forecast to get 2-5 inches in the next day. In a flood watch.
I remember in 2012 it got real dry in fall, after a wet spring. We had compacted yellow clay soil dried out. Could not get the plow in the ground, was using an IHC 720 4-18, new shares, angled it right, it would ride out of the ground and just shave an inch in the hard spots. It’s hardly ever dry here, so that was odd.
Dry like that, would be a nice time to get a shank machine in and bust up the ground. It would shatter when dry. Ripper or heavy chisel plow. They can have issues in super dry too, but they bust up the ground nice when it’s drier.
Also popular where the very heavy big Wisheck disks, they cut into the hard clay and turned it. Generally no one uses a disk here, they are Packers in wet clay.
