Last year we bought a landoll chisel that someone did a little barn yard engineering on and replaced the 9 shanks that it came with with five DMI parabolic shanks and we installed the tiger points with the seven inch wings on each shank . we had a 4-5 inch hard pan layer below the plow sole . I set it to run at 14 inches . Now how much it helped i am not sure YET . With all the rain last year and late planting we could not tell for sure . I can t3ell ya that it sure made the ground vary mellow . I did notice that the one area on the one hillside has not washed as much . Did it pull hard , you can bet your bottom dollar on that, as we spun the tires inside the rims three times ripping the valve stems off each time . I was just about to take the drill and drill and sheetmetal screw the tires to the rims but instead i took and welded little beads across the rims at the bead . Then remounted them new radials . I know for a fact that your normal 1066 will not haul that tool . one other thing is speed for best results above six MPH . We will see how it works this year due to all the rain the ground is packed tight and with the lack of frost it will be tough going this spring .
