tillage

The Amish near here were using a large mulching rotary mower pulled by 3 big mules. The mower had a big engine on it could have been a Wisconsin. It sure shredded the corn stalks.
A few days later they had plowed the field. Hal
 
There is a guy who writes for DTN, Dan Davidson, he used a Stalford RTS this year - which is basically the same thing as a turbo till - and he said that he had good results with it. I've wanted to rent a turbo till to see how well they work but nobody in the area has one.

I've also seen a advertisement for putting double wavy coulters on a straight chisel plow to make it something similar.
 
we have a great plains turbo till we use on a jd8970. I have to say that Im pretty inpressed with the way it took care of our corn stalks from last fall it knocks them down very well. My only problem with ours is in heavy false barley and fields with a lot of ground cover.
 
Neighbor has one at it does a nice job. He has used it in the fall for sizing corn stalks and in the spring for help in drying out wet soil without making a mess. Would love to have one but they and others such as the Salford RTS are very expensive. Heard about $50K for 30 ft. Not practical for my operation. Others have been fairly successful in either modifying a disk by straighting the gangs and adding wavy coulters or by replacing the chisels with a attachment having side-by-side (dual) wavy coulters on a regular chisel plow. A modified chisel plow will likely require adding some ballast. Some have suggested using a water tank so that the weight can be adjusted. Lighter disks will also probably require some ballast. I went with the heavy JD model 335 disk to try and avoid adding extra ballast, but if necessary intend to attach old MM rear wheel weights at 325 lbs/each.
