Here is the serial tag picture and a picture of it behind the harrows on the trailer. Any of you fellers recognize this thing? You may have to copy and paste the links below in your browser address window.

That is definately a subsoiler. If you want a plow, I'd suggest you get a plow, not modify this subsoiler. Plows have a lot of settings in order to do a good job plowing. I'm sure you'll have nothing but grief if you modify this. I'll bet you could sell it rather fast on this site and use the money to buy a plow. If I had the money and you were a thousand miles closer to WI, I could be persuaded to buy it.

What are subsoilers used for most of the time. I used it a little today on my farmall A. It sunk into the ground about 1.5 feet and just kept on going. I assume it is used for ground that hasn't been turned in a while or that is full of roots? My intent is not to modify this device but to use it for what it is intended for. I thought that maybe a plow could be used as an attachment or something of that nature.

Thank You,

MACE

A subsoiler is used to break up hardpan. Hardpan results in plowing year after year at a certain depth depending on the width of your plow. For instance, a plow with 14 inch bottoms generally works best at 7 inches deep. The 7 inches of topsoil is turned up but anything below is pushed down, making it harder and harder every year. If you run the subsoiler through at 18 inches - as you've already observed - you break up the hardpan. Hard pan is bad because it slows water from saturating further down into the soil, making wet areas in a field worse. It also prevents plant roots from penetrating further into the soil. Worsening the effects of a drought year.

Chisel plowing prevents this to some extent. A guy I work for finally gave up his 2500 6-18 and went to a 7 shank chisel plow. This fall was a nightmare. The plow kept rocking back and forth through his fields. He could benefit greatly from a subsoiler.

Will your farmall A actually pull that beast? I would figure you'd need barest minimum a super H and most likely an M

Yes, The Farmall A pulled it with ease to my astonishment. We have had some rain here in Ga. I would be interested in seeing what happens next summer. If the A can't handle it then I'll try it with the JD B.

Do you have sandy ground? If so it should pull a lot easier than here in heavy clay ground and also if sandy then you would not have the compaction that we have here in the heavy clay ground so you would actually have no use for it. Here in Ohio figure for 1 subsoiler schank at the 18" deep 35+ HP to pull it. I know a Late B John Deere of 28HP could not pull it here in my ground.

 Subsoiler? in reply to MACE, 12-09-2005 17:46:34  
Looks like a subsoiler to me. Also known as a ripper in some parts of the country. I have never seen one from Taylor-Way before. I have a 10 foot T-W transport disk, real rugged, heavy machine (except for the sealed axle bearings).

Is there a plow that will attach to the subsoiler?

Thank You,
