I have just about every soil type on my farm. I usually pull a Brillion 3 shank subsoiler with a Kubota M6800 4wd with a loader. 62 PTO HP, 57 drawbar HP. 17" deep, no-till points. No coulters. I could pull most of the time in L3 until I added 600 pounds of weight to the rear wheels. Then I could only pull in L2 due to reduced wheel slippage although I was going faster in L3 slipping than I was in L2 not slipping so much. I let the lift arms sway a quite a bit. That way when I hit smaller rocks the shanks will either shift to one side or the other or roll the rock up out of the ground. Then I put the rock in the loader bucket on the next pass. The shanks on this subsoiler are parabolic which pull easier than straight shanks. Non-reset, shear bolt protected. I have never sheared a bolt. When I hit an immovable object, the tractor spins out. When I pull with a 125 HP tractor (my next size up) I can go faster but will shear pins. Not good. I sheared 42 pins one day before I learned to slow down but even then that only helps a little bit. I actually get more work done with the smaller tractor. I also have a 4 shank CaseIH subsoiler, straight shank with coulters, that I pull with a 125 HP tractor. That's the one I use most of the time. Coulters are a must if you have a lot of residue.

Today's Featured Article - Seeing an Old Friend - by Joe Evans. Dad had a concrete contracting business starting in 1960. One of his first pieces of equipment was a Ferguson TO-35 with a Davis loader. Dad replaced the TO-35 with a MF 202 Workbull, essentially an industrialized Ferguson 35 I am told. Dad bought the 202 new in 1962, and I recall quite clearly going to the dealer with him to sign for it.
