Had to look at who was writing, thought you had reversed the picture - don't ever see that side of the tractor in the furrow around here! :) ----- If you need to fix compaction, you need to go deep, fast, and you need a lot of hp to do it. The plow is too big, and a plow is only designed to go 8 inches deep. So it won't work on 2 counts. Not worth the bother to try. The chisel plow is the tool to use. you want to make 1 pass, not 2, and you need to go deep - 10 - 12", not 2 shallow passes (2nd pass won't work well as the surface is loose - no traction to get through the hardpan). You need the shattering process of one deep fast pass. You need to travel a bit faster rather than slow - the springs need to get to shattering the hard pan. You need about 25hp per shank. If you have to use that tractor, you will end up with 2 shanks on the chisel, drive fast & hang on. Any other options you list will not give you much result. You don't have enough hp. --->Paul
