I bought that IH6500, which I am happy with. I have that older Kewanee 180, 11 shank, 12". I am debating if I should keep it for a spare, sell it ( not sure what it is worth), or make some sort of tillage implement out of it, I would like to play around and make some sort of tool that the 1086 could pull as a one pass tool on bean ground. Maybe some disk"s in front, a few chisel shanks (4) and then a set of digger spring tooth after that and add a harrow or rolling basket. Just thinking here. Any suggestions or idea"s? The unit does not have walking tandems. Is built tough, but not the heaviest weight. If some on ehas a pic of something to share that would be real nice too.
 
Sounds like you are trying to make a soil finisher. If you Google them, you'll find some pictures. Only problem I see is it'd be real narrow for doing finish work. Guess you could do it, but it'd be a lot easier to just go buy a smaller soil finisher.

I don't see the need for disks on a bean machine- your combine chopper cuts the residue enough. A neighbor added a couple ripper shanks to his to break hardpan. If you don't want the field so rough after Fall tillage, a heavy harrow bar with one inch teeth could reduce that.
 
If you are on lighter soil, not the heavy clay I have, and want to join the latest craze, you could look into vertical tillage.

That is a disk, but it has nearly straight blades that cut deep without digging much. I see ads in the back of farm papers for a place that makes units that fit old chisel plows.

If you use NH3, you could make an applicator out of it, with some tillage as well. There are companies that sell conversion knives.
