New chisel plow... is it too big?

Been looking for a better way to prep the moto track than a disc set-up. But the opportunity that came around may be a bit too large.

[@michaelbuie6297]

Those are made to pull around 12" deep , so to pull like it needs to be pulled you only need to pull 3 shanks , 5 max!

[@Mudlife11]

He could do 7

[@armedfarm3429]

They're not for plowing up sod ground, they are for ground that is already busted up with a plow. Your Cultivator's tines dig in so fast you don't have time to react on raising the 3 pt & the front pops up on & on it goes, till you get sick of it.

[@chalemi]

Dangerous situation. Not near enough tractor for that plow.

[@meateaterwhitetail7291]

3 shanks I recommend... That's for the big boys. You need a Ford 9600 to pull that..

[@fletchersaucey5243]

I don’t understand what I just watched as a farmer. I’m not sure if it’s confusion or disgust from me. But that plow is hardly plowing on that tractor.

[@matthewheinze1231]

Clueless people ........

[@duanehanson8842]

I used to use a chisel, just like that. But on a 145 horse tractor, with front wheel assist, and duals. And at 10 inches deep, it was sometimes all it wanted.

[@clarkwheeler8764]

I have the same setup with an International 11pt chisel plow and a 7600 Ford 1981 Diesel tractor. I only pull 9 shanks and have 300 lbs of weights on the front of my tractor. Does a farily good job in low 3rd gear.

[@robertpayne2717]

You've got way more chisel than tractor!!!!!!

[@andrewbondurant8513]

I’d probably sell that and buy a smaller one that tractor can handle

[@brentkelsay3439]

That looks like a Ford 4000 has a split grille. Dad had a 1966 4000 split grille 52 pto hp. Didn't pull a chisel plow or a field cultivator, pulled a moldboard plow 3-14s and a 10 ft disc. Good old tractors but that looks like a lot to ask it to do.

[@peanutsmith1462]

I think you need about 250 more hp to go with the 20hp u got there

[@farminghuntingtrapping-fht]

More like 110 more hp but yeah that tractor is wayyyy to small

[@claytonbigsby]

I pull a 7 shank with my 6610 and it does ok. I really like pulling it with my brothers old JD 130 hp. Love the power.

[@rockyfjord3753]

Yeah, too big for that tractor, and they are not really made to plow sod. for that you'd better use a moldboard plow. The concept behind chisel plows, are to plow deep to loosen soil below a topsoil level.

[@Redlinesixtynine]

Looks like more of a C tine cultivator than a chisel plow to me. Also not meant to work up sod, or grass. Kill the grass first then once it's dried down it will work up better.

[@larrymartin6544]

Yeah we don't call that a chisel plow in my area that's just a field cultivator

[@fletchersaucey5243]

Your cultivator has shanks? What I call a cultivator is a plows with sweeps. This guy is hardly chiseling imo. That tractor is not appropriate for that straight plow.

[@Samm-nu1kn]

Dude awesome video I had no idea you were doing this. It captures the essence. Also lulu is a good intro.

[@orlandochacon9253]

Way too big for that tractor.

[@btownbu5979]

Any chance youd be interested in selling x4 of the shanks you took off? Im in southern Wisconsin looking at making a custom strip till rig for corn

[@lounar482]

Never seen anyone try to chisel a hay field. Pretty crazy.

[@brandonadkinson1809]

U can’t plow virgin soil with that! Lol. Tractor is a little small too but if it’s flat and already been broken up the yr b4 you’d be fine

[@thevox1075]

If you can’t pull it deeper than a field cultivator, then it’s too big. We chisel plow at least 10”, deeper with a coulter chisel.

[@skirkey26]

10 hp per chisel.....11 chisels=110hp 7 chisels=70hp 13 chisels=130hp

[@johnraynor5095]

Great information. Thanks. Grew up with a Ford 8n 60 years ago. Just got one to work up some vergin mt pasture with so I can plant new pasture in place of star thistle and hemlock.

[@kevinbaker6168]

They may say 10 to 15 HP per point, but I think if you had suitcase weights on the front, duals and weights on the rear you can handle it.

[@kennardjohnson7875]

Oh and move the Guage wheels way in, about a foot from rear tires, or closer, you can move shanks alittle farther apart. Your outside shanks should be out past your Guage wheels maybe 6 inches, can go with bigger sweeps, it was a good deal, grow a big garden, but pile weights on the tractor.

[@onkarsingh7608]

😄 My 🐕 playing with air compressor nozzle.

[@kennardjohnson7875]

You can narrow the thing, and get some weights,take 3 off on each side,and put 4 inch sweeps on it.

[@cheesedoesgaming6088]

Definitely neet to be on mid setting of a higher gear with a lot of power going

[@hogman2524]

You need a LOT of tractor to pull that plow!

[@Samm-nu1kn]

Holy crap…what a tractor lol. Also lulu is an awesome intro. Good job dude

[@northernmichiganfabricatio3468]

Was always told 10hp per chisel at the minimum

[@denniscarter483]

I think it make a better field cultivater.

[@grantflannery1013]

It's called a cultivator

[@keithdeley7236]

Do you mean plough?

[@mikescaffo4850]

Not enough tractor my friend

[@orlandochacon9253]

Better off taking some shanks off, lower your tire pressure for better traction and front weights.

[@mattragan9836]

You need 200 horses for that big plow

[@neilstuarr2278]

For that tractor yes.

[@brianshelburne7680]

lol research must be done.

[@henryofskalitz2228]

that tractor need more front weights on it

[@orlandochacon9253]

Put some water in your tires.

[@justindwyer3832]

Use windshield washer fluid in tires so don't freeze

[@fruitfarmfords8243]

Rim guard

[@josephfinklea3650]

Chisel plow is to big you need a tractor 🚜 at less a 100 hundred horse 🐴 ⛮ power l used to Chisel plow with a 9600 Ford tractor 🚜 135 horse power that is what you need.

[@jasonblend2488]

You need way more tractor

[@JackFrostTheDeerHunter]

2 big....add weight and remove out chisels. Very dangerous running that with small tractor.

[@nickb8618]

Need a 5 shank or a a lot bigger tractor

[@westonr4359]

Too much tractor for that plow gonna break something

[@johnorr9373]

That's barely scratching the ground, need a bigger tractor.

[@trucktirebuster5622]

Not near enough tractor

[@matthewcurrier3636]

Sell the skid steer and buy a 150 hp tractor.

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

If you use this and insist on Ford a 2+2 is minimum.

[@PhilipFarrell]

Why would you even buy something so big for such a small tractor that should just be used with a 2 furrow plow in proples gardens

[@ryany4326]

You seriously thought you could pull that ? Cut 2/3s of it off

[@darinfrancois6815]

Too BIG.

[@jarnodeboernl7825]

instead of removing those shanks maybe add front weights or maybe a bigger tractor

[@JamesWicker-ps4gq]

Thats not a chisel plow .

[@deankitch6026]

Same old BS Why don't you speak up if you are going to make a video!!

[@genedieballsr.4493]

Sorry I am getting a headache watching this guy.this is like watching someone use a S-10 pickup truck to pull a 53 foot trailer.
