I Guess That's where I'm confused.We have a 4 shank chisel plow that we made. We ordered the chisels from John Deere and then constructed a frame. You really need minimum 12 hp per chisel. We have a Kubota l2850 4wd which is ~35 hp and we had to remove one of the chisels and go down from 4 to 3. Even then it's hard to pull and you really need wheels to keep it at a set depth or else it will dig in and it's like riding a bucking bronco (albeit sort of slow). Our soils are a very silty silt loam. I'd talk to the folks at Buckeye tractor - there's really knowledgeable about chisel plow for small tractors.
I have a single shank subsoiler, also. but thought that chisel plows were something 'more.'
It's sad, but I can't find a local implement dealer who carries chisel plows, much less who could work with a bed system.
I am working with 20hp on 4x4
Yes, the subsoiler is useless when the clay dries out in a few weeks....
