Enjoy and criticize as you wish. Still have a few more adjustments/modifications to make. Ph is 6.5 but no noticeable difference in production last year as compared to un-limed adjacent ground. Not ready to plow this ground but gonna experiment with this 3 row sub soiler. As it sits it still turns up a clump of ground "to" often. Gonna install larger culters and align them precisely with plow beam.... and take the blunt edge off the plow beam.

| Does the plow pull straight ?? I'd think it could want to drift/pull off to the left with no landsides ?? |

The Tye company (if I remember right) made kits to convert plows into rippers. don't know how well they worked. AaronSEIA

well I LIKE it !!!! I KNOW from running my single tooth subsoiler through the gardens that it really,really helps rejuvenate the soil. I went both N-S then E-W to 'checkerboard' the soil as one filed had been notilled for 40-50 years. That field required 1st, low and max RPM, come spring D-14 could be in 2nd, low, 3/4 throttle. THAT told me subsoiling was a GREAT idea. ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

| Refresh my memory….did you soil test? What are you trying to grow here and what did you fertilize with, following soil test recommendations or no? Lime alone does not necessarily make things grow better, you need nutrients. Lime works in tandem with fertilizer, prevents nutrients being tied up by the soil. |

Oliver sold a sub-soiler attachment for some of their plows, I have only seen pictures. Pretty sure they skipped every other bottom. Interesting idea, keep us posted how it works. How deep can you get it into the ground?

| I'm having a similar experience with the curved shank sub-soiler I bought last year. Just want to open up a groove in the ground, but she lays over a clump & a slight mound where it goes through the ground. Don't want to disturb the ground cause it's pasture land. keith so. va. |
