Teach me about the chisel plow.

Posted by 641Dave on March 14, 2013 at 07:09:08 from (64.221.9.40):

After getting a good lesson on disc plows from you guys a few months back, I've been on the look out for one at a fair price...(and when I say fair price I mean fair to me and pretty much robbing the seller)...anyway, with my 641 Workmaster I've discovered that in my fine sandy loam, I can bust the ground up easily with my two bottom Ferguson plow and I was able to drop the shanks on my box blade to level everything out and create a seed bed.

I've realized pretty much all I need is a chisel plow. I can find them allot cheaper and it looks like I could configure the shanks to do some crop dressing between rows until any vegetables grow tall enough to meet my red belly.

So, here's my questions. When it comes to chisel plows, is there any particular type better than the others? I see some older ones that have springs on the shanks while some of the modern ones look like curved leaf springs. How many shanks should I limit the plow to for a 641 to pull smoothly. I'm in fine sandy loam and just using it to dress up the ground thats already been broken. The 5 shanks on my box blade did good, but of course clogged up on the two outside tines that are closest to the box.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
