Neighbor has one at it does a nice job. He has used it in the fall for sizing corn stalks and in the spring for help in drying out wet soil without making a mess. Would love to have one but they and others such as the Salford RTS are very expensive. Heard about $50K for 30 ft. Not practical for my operation. Others have been fairly successful in either modifying a disk by straighting the gangs and adding wavy coulters or by replacing the chisels with a attachment having side-by-side (dual) wavy coulters on a regular chisel plow. A modified chisel plow will likely require adding some ballast. Some have suggested using a water tank so that the weight can be adjusted. Lighter disks will also probably require some ballast. I went with the heavy JD model 335 disk to try and avoid adding extra ballast, but if necessary intend to attach old MM rear wheel weights at 325 lbs/each.
