2021 Fall tillage Allis Chalmers 7050 

I slowed down and it helped some but I think I have a hard pan of yellow clay that is causing it. In another field with no clay it pulled fine at 5 mph and even at 7 mph..... too fast for comfort at 7 though.

@@SilverGleaner If you have thin points on, it's probably running deeper and into the hardpan the wider points couldn't penetrate , or the springs themselves couldn't hold the depth and now with the thin points they can

@@RJ1999x Yes I switched from 3 inch twisted to spikes.

I think I have a hard pan developed over the years so I think that is why it was dancing some. I'll have to see if I can get it ripped sometime.

@@SilverGleaner I chiseled a lot of heavy ground that was compacted after beet harvest. Seems like from what I remember, if I went to fast, the shanks would go against the springs and not go in as deep. Had to go around 5mph from what I remember. It’s been over 25 years for me since I chisel plowed. I sure miss farming.

@@captaincobble5917 I was pulling in 4th low rang, low PD which is 5.6 mph at 2300 rpm but it kept it at 2000 rpm. I tried going even slower but it still danced. There is a lot of yellow clay and I think that is what was especially hard this year and I switch the points from 3" twisted to heavy straight spikes. I think they go slightly deeper and are more into the hard pan.

@@SilverGleaner You must have some really heavy soil. The frame on the min til was solid steel and not tubing. They were a solid disk chisel. Keep posting the videos. It’s nice to see videos of farming without all the new auto steer.

@@captaincobble5917 Auto Steer would be boring to me. I've driven the newer Deeres like an 8310RT and it's nice but very boring after a few days running it. Our soil is pretty heavy. I can stop my 7050 with a 4 bottom plow if it isn't set just right. No-till doesn't work well here because it doesn't dry out nice with too much trash. I also have a little bit of pete soil and that tills up nicely.......Dad's old farm a few miles to the northwest had what he called gumbo soil and it pulled even harder. It had a blue clay mix. If I go over one farm to the east of me the soil changes a lot and it become light and full of gravel and sand.

I only do about 100 acres a year plus blow snow with it some years. Would like to pick up more ground now that I am not working anymore. Seems rent is getting very high this next season. Some ground is getting $400/acre for next year.

What kind of questions? I don't usually give out my phone number or email.

@@SilverGleaner I’m wondering how much you think my 210 is worth and if you’d be interested in buying it?

@@GMdieselman can't buy it but depending on condition from less than 10 to just over 20. Just a few years ago a nice one sold here for 12 bit to me, forvwhat it was it should have been at leastv15,000. Does it jump out of gear?

@@SilverGleaner I have never had it jump out of gear. Thanks for the info, I’ll see what I decide on.

@@GMdieselman See if you can contact machinery pete, he goes to a lot of auctions and puts them on youtube. He would have a good idea on value. He is from my state and lives not too far away from my area.... though I don't know him personally.
