A disk-chisel has been on my wish list for a few years now. This past spring, my cousin let me borrow his JD 714 to try it out. (he has it for sale) Did a nice job, but it has that green paint effect on the price. I found one made by Glencoe... same size (9 shank), for about half the price. seems to have had little use. Biggest difference I saw right off was the Glencoe has straight disk blades in a straight row, while the JD has concave blades with the gangs angled like you'd find on a disk. Is there going to be any significant difference in how it works the ground? Or power requirements? Primary use would be on corn stubble, with some use on sod after being burned down. I've heard of guys using them on green sod, but can't see how that would make a satisfactory seed bed.
