@@JustMakingIt-123 plan right now is the ground I disked because it had the hybrid corn on it, is to plant the open pollinated seed that I still have and hopefully to get another variety of OP to try. The first field I chopped, to reseed to hay along with some other ground. The rest from what I chopped and whatever sod I plow next year planting conventional hybrids
I've got a disk with notched blades and one with smooth blades. The comparison isn't apples to apples, the one with notched blades is aggressive , but is a 16 foot disk. The smooth bladed one is 22 feet so I figure the added weight makes it cut as well as it does. I'd probably go with the notched on a smaller disk though. I planted open pollinated corn years ago, I think it was from Green Haven out there your way in Pennsylvania. I still get a flyer from them and they had many varieties available.
These disks do a good job but that's what I'm thinking is being a lighter frame they may help I'll try to look them up. I'd like to find another open pollinated variety to try that was earlier maturity.
Our dinky little 10ft international disk has the notched blades in the front and smooth in the back. It works great for chisel plowed ground and even just straight disking fields. I don’t think I’d ever have a disk that had all smooth disks. Only problem with our disk is that it’s just to small and light so you gotta go over and over again to break up molboard ground and also it’s just a lot of passes around the field lol. I would imagine notched blades would work great on that allis disk.
That's what I'm kinda figuring. Even though these are light disks also, they do a good job on plowed ground it's always sod ground that takes more to work them. Knocked disk should help with that and if I just wanted to disk last year's corn ground without plowing. I'd like to get a chisel plow for the corn ground.
my old disc I had notched on the front a smooth on back, it chopped stalks way better than my new disc with smooth front and back, wish I still had the old one I cant buy the notched blades for what I sold the old disc for
Looking good , what do you think you will be planting in there next year?

We had notched blades in front and smooth back blades chopped material better than smooth blades front and back 15 foot birch disc
I figured they might be the better option to help penetration so maybe I don't have to plow everything.
@@jacobb3446I figured they may help some being a smaller framed disk.
How many acres
Only about 11 acres that I picked.
