Ypu are tryen to do tillage work with a Utility tractor first off and minimum HPfor a five shank for full depth in MOST ground would be 20 per shank with straight points then add a few more ponys for twisted shanks . Weight wise ya need to be in the 12000 lb range and up . Tire size has a lot to do with it also , on your tonka toy your tire size could be like and 18.4 x30 Nope not enough tire , it's that 30 inches part . My buddy and i have a five shank disk riper that according to the old DMI block man said we would never pull it with what we have . Well we can pull it at 14 inches deep on the flat ground where we have somewhat flat ground and it pulls it well DOWN HILL , BUT not UP HILL . We are pulling it with a 1066 that is weighted to over 18500 lbs and has the horse power that is way above factory spec. What we lack is TRACTION even with direct axle mount duals we spin out now that we have the tires holding to the rims , before we solved that problem we would spin the rim inside the tire ripping the valve stem off the tube . On your tonka toy loaded tires will help and a set of MATCHING DUALS will help for disking as they will hold the tractor up on top of the ground adding flotation and traction and weight , but keep in mind that it is a UTILITY tractor more suited for CHORE work then a Tillage tractor . IF you want to Chisel then ya need a bigger heavier ROW CROP . A moldboard plow is far better suited for breaking ground that has grass and weeds . You would do far better with a three bottom moldboard as there would be far less strain on the tractor .

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
