Good day,
My brother and I farm about 30 acres, mainly left overs from renters and deer plots. Soil is mostly sand and rocks...
We've been mainly double-disking (IH 496) and it's been working okay for corn/soybeans...but the disk needs some work (blades, possibly bearings) and the "Boss" said we could buy a new one...but I'm thinking of different options.
We also have an IHC Vibrashank 45 FC that Dad bought at auction back in the early 90's and I think we used it one year and it's been parked in the weeds since then. I seem to remember it liked to plug up a lot in rye...hate to think what it would do in corn stalks. It also doesn't have anything on the back, so I'm wonder how rough it would be if disked then cultivated.
We've been having issues with weeds in new alfalfa/clover. We have an old McCormick MF single disk and use oats as a cover, oats come up fine, but we end up with more weeds than alfalfa/clover.
Just looking for some suggestions, save wear on the disk, best options, etc. Can't really do much in the fall, and Bro usually Bush Hogs the corn before he disks in the spring.
