Did IH make a chisel plow back in the sixties? I would like to have a chisel plow for my 560D as an alternative to the moldboard plow for my small acreage. What size would the tractor handle? Does anyone have any experience with makes or models that work with this size tractor? I am in NW Minnesota and have clay soil.
Thanks for your help.
Chuck

Chuck: I'm kind on inclined to agree with Harold and Brent. I had a ten footer and with twisted shovels, 560 or 656 wouldn't touch it, in a plowing situation.

In heavy Mississippi Delta soil, a 7 or 9 foot IH #55 is all a 560 wanted.

IH made the #55 chisel plow in the late 60's I would say a 10 foot would be all you want to tie behind a 560 anyway that is all I would want behind mine. I used a freinds #55 one year a 15 ft one behind a 856 and it was a load

Having grown up in the Red River Valley of ND/MN and knowing those clay soils, and having a 560 myself, you would have a hard time effectively running a 10 ft. chisel at a decent depth. If you had shovels/shanks that were less aggressive on it you may get away with it but with an agressive twisted shank you will run out of traction and/or power at a fairly shallow depth in those clay soils. You may be better off with a field cultivator depending upon what you want to accomplish in the field.
