All depends upon soil type, how deep, & how fast you want to run. First 9 shank disc chiesel I owned was a CIH 6500 w/ 4" twisted sweeps. At 8-9" it was all my 1486 wanted in our heavier black soils (Sable & Ipava loams). Traded the 14 for a new 7120 in '87 & was able to drop to about 10" deep, ran 7th or 8th gear depending on soil & year. Bought a 7220 & at 10" was able to run mostly 9th gear. Bought a new '96 7240 mfd & was able to put the chiesel all the way in the ground & tractor would play with it.
Biggest problem I had with my 1486 was not enough weight, even with fluid in the rear tires, 3 sets of rear weights & duals.
I had a 1086 at the time & never even thught about putting the disc chiesel behind it.
