Thanks for the reply. Love the pictures. I can envision ours in use with this as a helper.
We have loamy soil here. re: hardpan - we're mostly concerned with a developing shallow hardpan from our tiller. We have nothing to work our soil that is any bigger than a JD235 with rototiller right now. The 8n should be able to break into that with a chisel. But, I suspect I won't get the full benefits unless I get someone else to break it up deeper than that.
Out of curiosity, how deep with the single shank on the chisel? Shouldn't 20 HP be able to handle a single shank? I'm not really doubting you since you use the 8n in your operation, I'm just trying to get a handle on everything. what I've heard is the following: 8" chisel is 10HP/shank 12" chisel is 15HP/shank Ford 8n is 20+ HP (23 advertised I think?)
