HP, plowing depth, and soil

Posted by PhilcaseinWPa on April 11, 2007 at 13:24:54 from (146.186.55.48):

I asked this on the Case board and I'll ask here also since more people participate on this one.

A lot of talk on here about HP and the plows it will pull. How deep do you guys plow and what type of soil do you have? I used to pull 3X14 mounted plow with a Case 630 in clay, loam soil. Probably plowing too deep but in an old sod I had to take a bottom off. I had the plow deep enough to turn up a little of the yellow subsoil, maybe 12+". Now I pull 3X16 with a CaseIH 885. Could probably add another bottom without any trouble. Still plowing deep. Case 630 ~ 50 hp, 885 ~ 70hp (pto)

While I'm asking, for you guys that chisel plow how deep do you go with them and what type of soils do they do the best? How many shanks do you think I could pull with an 885 and at what depth? I've been told 5 maybe 6 at the most.

Thanks,

Phil
