I just kind of wondered about that. I can do more good with the blade than the log chain, but basically only getting the roots that are almost on top of the ground already.
My 1066 finally got here from Nebraska last fall, I bought a set of duals for her here when I moved here at a farm auction. That was like 5 years ago. I wish we had the duals back home in NE, but that is another story.
I don't have the traction to rip them by the roots with singles. Should I dual up, or just stress the trees I can't push or pull over enough that they will end up dying and farm around them next year? I plan to hay the field again this year, because of the tree problem. I only got access to this patch in August last year, so no real opportunity yet to fix all the problems.
I am trying to buy a cheap chisel plow. Will only need it to plow through the roots the first time. I could disk it with my IH 470 disk, but it can't go deep enough to sever the roots.
Other possibility is to pick up a 3, 4, or 5 bottom moldboard plow. I have a 2 bottom here for our garden behind the Ford 5000.
Won't even consider ripping roots with it. It isn't built heavy enough. DOUG

Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
