I have some issues with the snap on duals for my Case 1170. Needs tires, rims need work, etc, and I just don't have the time.
I need to lightly turn some thatch in 40 acres with an 18ft offset disk. My plan is to set stops with the lift cylinders to do a light cut. I have looked at some data that indicates around 100lbft per inch depth per foot width so that might indicate 1900lbft per inch of cut? Seems like a lot to me.
Regardless, I am sure some experienced farmers would have a good idea on this? Again, I am NOT planning to drop the disk down and let it eat, just need to roll the thatch a bit so I can get a cover crop seeded in.
I would think at some speed, the tractor would do it but I figure traction could become an issue. The tractor does have weights on the rears and I think weighs around 15,000 with the FIL and weights.
