Convert Your Chisel Plow Into A "Coulter Machine" TILLAGE EUIPMENT Chisel Plows (9) 29-6-40 Your chisel plow can chop stalks thanks to a new conversion kit which converts it into a stalk-chopping "coulter machine".
Inventor Ron Tschetter, who farms near Carpenter, S. Dak., says his patent pending "coulter machine" kit can be used to shred everything from corn stalks to soybean residue to wheat stubble. In some cases it leaves your field ready to plant the following spring.
The kit for each shank consists of two 18 or 20-in. dia. waffle coulters and the mounting hardware needed to bolt them onto the shank. You simply unbolt the sweep and bolt the coulters on. The coulters are spaced 6 in. apart. To switch back to a chisel plow you unbolt the coulters and reattach the sweeps.
"It works on any brand of chisel plow and in some cases may save you the cost of buying a new stalk chopper," says Tschetter. "You can buy old chisel plows cheap. My conversion kit sells for $350 per shank, so a 20-ft. wide chisel plow can be converted for $7,000 plus tax. A new comparable size coulter cart machine costs about $22,000."
