[QUOTE="noriko, post: 228578, member: 4128"] [i]Other then alfalfa, why try to break up the hardpan. [/i] Wow! Thanks for a reply so fast. You answered that question... i.e. other than aflalfa why break the hardpan... I am told an alfalfa root goes up to 30' feet deep so for that reason i'd love to get rid of it but i checked into that and i hear it would take every bit of a D8 cat to do that deep and i might as well order an oil tanker load of diesel to do that job. Relating to my question of which implement... i can do twice the work of my 14' offset disc with a 28' chisel plow so if a chisel plow would work as good or better than a disc i am all for that. My disc does work great though. Another reason to do any tillage at all is I have weeds and competitive growth to hinder a new planted crop so I want to start out clean. In Idaho they have laws against weeds so i am an outlaw at this time. Skeleton weed is one of the worst and i am harboring a fugitive so to make the county happy i gotta clean the place up. If not, i hear the county force sprays land and sends the bill and if you don't pay it the bill is added to your tax and if you don't pay it the county takes the land [/QUOTE]
