Can someone tell me the reference points to measure the depth a chisel plow is being operated at? I have a JD #712 with 4 inch twisted shovels and it seems to do a good job in our Central Wisconsin soil at about 5 1/2 to 6 MPH, and the depth from the bottom of the trench to the top of the "fluff" is about 12 inches. I have been asked how deep I am operating it and I don't know the answer. Thanks, Wayne

just curious about how deep should you run a chisel plow. i've only ran a few and were already set when i got to the tractors. we just pulled it as deep as it would go and still move on and not spend a lot of time spinning the tires.

It's nice to pull up the plow pan that some soils develop from molboard plowing. Typically a plow goes 1/2 as deep as the bottoms are wide, so if a 16" bottom plow has been used, the plow pan will be from 8-10 inches deep. So, nice if you can go 11 inches deep.

Your soil conditions will be different, you might have different goals, but that is 'here'. :)

When you lower the teeth to the ground, measure clearancen from ground to frame. Drop it full depth, run at op speed, measure ground to frame clearance. Difference is true depth.
