Chisel plow from the 1950s for a 620 JD

Hello!
I was wondering if anyone knows what models of chisel plows were made back in the 50s that a JD 620 would be able to pull? Would there be any newer models that a 620 could pull? Thanks for the info!!

DavidT1, a Graham-Hoeme Drag chisel, was used in the High plains up into the early 90s by Drylanders and some Irrigated too.
A 620 should be able to handle a 10 ft in the High Plains Sand.... most of the time it would have been equipped with with 12 sweeps running approximately 4 in deep!
Hope this helps!

Around 'here', a chisel plow was a primary tillage tool, only came into use in the '60s and were pulled by at least a 90 (pto) h.p. tractor. A 620 would've only pulled about 3 or 4 shanks. I understand that soils and practices are different in other places.

NOT sure what the smallest size the "650" chisel plow that came out in 1954 was available in???

Here's a twelve-footer...

Not so sure, around here (sandy loams) I've been pulling an 11 shank 10' graham hoeme with an 806 IH at around 5 miles per hour.
Haven't tried the chisel with my JD70 but the 10'disc I use on it and on the 806.... Comparing how the 70 is really working and the 806 doesn't notice it... Doubt if the 70 would do much with the chisel any deeper than 4 inches and 3 miles an hour. At that speed and depth not sure it would be worth covering the ground.
JD70 should be pretty similar to what a 620 would have.
I think I'd look for a 6 or 8 ft model and stay under 8 shanks.

I made my own back then out of an anhydrous applicator, in 196?. Back 3 shanks is all a 620 could pull at 10" deep. spaced about 40" for stalk flow. Second pass straddled ridges.
Abandoned after a couple years. It wasn't too effective,

dmiller, I did clarify High Plains Sand, Primarily Blow Sand, with Sweeps!
I also have a 12 foot drag type Hoeme with Out-riggers. Double lever adjusters on both the right and left sides. Short shank Chisel plow it is No load at all on my 966.
I have seen the Dry-landers pull this sort of plow, though a little narrower in Dry land wheat stubble with Point to loose it up after a winter of grazing yearlings. In the High Plains chiseling is done to loosen up the top plow layer, Not to go for max depth! 99% or all Dry-land work is confined to the top 5 inches at most!
Point to loosen up, Sweeps, prior to planting, Beaver Tails to stop blowing Sand! Three different applications of the same basic unit just change out the points, Sweeps, or Beaver Tails for the soil conditions
I agree on certain areas of the US a 620 wont handle it at all But There in the High Plains it did all day long. My thoughts on it
It is interesting to hear what some folks call chiseling with 3 shanks behind a given tractor going for 20 in + deep Here in Texas we call it Sub-Soiling AKA V-Ripper
Chiseling...3 to 5in deep
Deep chiseling....5 to 9 in deep
Just for example, anyway I hear Ya!

There was the 900 tool carrier that you could put chisel shanks on, but they were the snake-tooth style, not the C-shank type. Didn't go quite as deep. I would think 5 snake-tooth shanks would be more than plenty for a 620 in my clay soil, your locale may be different.

I'm a drylander in Montana.

John, Being a Canadian, I should know about beaver and their tails but what are "beaver tails"? Dan

Grandad had a 620 and pulled 4 12" bottoms.He
figured the 1830 deere(2640?) was about equal.I
pulled a 5 shank mounted chisel with it.
