Works well for me. Last year did an experiment. 2 pass spring till vs strip till. 169 vs 170 yield on the corn. Did 250 acres this year, next year will be the full 525 acres. Fuel use went from $11.20 per acre the "old way" of getting ready to plant beans to $1.03. That alone saves me close to $4,000 a year. Add in some fert savings by banding (yeah yeah i know... ya"ll will say can"t cut back... but the U of MN says different and so do my soil tests). Add to that no need to crunch fall tillage in .. let the corn dry in the field longer. Over all... I"m conservative with a bout $13,000 a year savings. And yes it does work in cold and wet soils. Was in mud on the 18th of May. Beans couldn"t look better. Corn is looking great as well. SC MN is the location.
