Some money saving farmer was no-tilling my farm for 30+ years without mouldboard ploughing. Every time it rained the fields were lakes of water on top of a solid impervious layer. Water would lay on the surface for days until the sun and wind evaporated it away. I've deep V-ripped the place twice now with a single shank JD 22B ripper equipped with a 10" wide tip. Tractor is 50HP and weighs 7500lbs. That hard blue clay would stall or spin out the tractor in 3rd gear depending. If I shortened the top link and made the ripper "lift" the soil. The tractor also struggled with a mounted 3X16" plough after the fields were ripped. The soil rolled over in rock hard clods the size of foot balls. So unless you farm sand or light loam soil. Forget about no or limited till.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
