liking my new chisel plow.

Dave from MN · Oct 23, 2009

Posted a few days about picking up a Kewanee chisel plow. Well, I did. I love it? Got her home, had to add a cylinder, pump up a tire, grease a few zerk's, and was feild ready. Top side of shovels never seen dirt, bottem side like new. I really am happy with the job it did. Just came back from a feild run. Did great, this is that feild I had to add lime and had hard pan issues. My "well fed" oli 1750 pulled it just fine, 4th low, it did pull it in direct, but low seemed to be the better speed, and I did sink it down quite good in spots to see if she had the mustard. Tilled width is about 12 feet. Very happy with my $450 purchase!!

Was wondering how you made out.

How many horses does your 1750 have at the drawbar? Tractordata says 67 or so. I am thinking about getting a 10' chisel plow and I would pull it with a D19. I heard that it is 10 hp per shank, so I didn't know if my 70 hp would do it.

my 1750 is putting well over what 70 HP, I would say closer to 100-115. It has a rebuild waukesha froma 1900 or something, no one seems to recall what they all did to snuff up the engine. I do know they did a great job. I just worry if the drive train can take the HP.

Dave, have you been getting much rain? The last three days I've had 4 inches. Looks like I'am not going to get to use my chisel plow this fall. Corns still 35%+ and 75% of the beans are still in the field. Going to part calves off Sunday to sell Monday. Going to be fun in all the mud.

I am in some ugly yellow clay soil here in MN, but I wasn't happy with the 85 hp I had on a 10 shank chisel plow, pull it now with a 140 hp tractor & seems about right.

But again, I have real ugly tight hard soil....

recieved about 2" over the last 5 days. Will be weaning CALVES ON sUNDAY AND WILL BE TAkING THE CORN OUT STARTING WED NIGHT, I have no beans this year, but will be taking the corn down before the weather pattern changes and the price tanks.

I farm in western North Dakota. I own 2 chisel plows. A JD 14 footer that unbolts to 10 ft and a 38 foot Melrose that is of no value at all. Dad always called then the Grame-Home conservation plows. It took me decades to figure what he was talking about. The JD now works the tree rows behind a Case 1030 and I doubt the Melrose will ever hook up to the the 975 Versitle again. Summer fallow and tillage is a thing of the past in my area.

buy the 1270 to do the heavy stuff and use your 1750 for planting ect., our 1800b had 85-90 hp basically the same as a 1750

A D 19 Allis is a direct match to a Ford 5000 and I had a 7 shank 3 point hitch 2 bar Ford chisel and that was all that Ford would want in my ground and I never tried to use it in my jackwax, always moldboarded that, only used the chisel on rented ground that was considered highly eroadable ground and was more underlayed with gravel. 7 shank cut 7'

That sounds like a great deal. I would love to find a unit like that (maybe a little smaller, I only have a 50 horsepower tractor). It sure would make it real easy to work up the food plots I put in each year.
