You could be right. I only have personal experience with an old IHC double disk type for 35 years. (Sheez - that was old when I was little & dad was using it - now I feel old!)

There are no single disk type around 'here'. They all went to the trash heap. The few I see on auctions anyone who comments roll their eyes - and they sell for about scrap.

I let cattle grase some cornstalks, disk once, & plant oats into that in the spring. Lots of trash. It works fine with my double disk. Hairpinning is a problem for getting corn in the ground, but around here small grains are pretty easy to get growing, to be honest the single disk would be fine too.

I suspect the hard clay is the 'local' issue for double disks being much more popular here.

I can see where a single disk would throw the trash to the side, leaving bare ground for the seed. Makes sense. Our clay would not move back again to cover the seed I think.

Don't you have a lot of wear & side-draft with a single disk? Never understood how the bearing & linkages take all that side-pressure.
