Probably been spoken about in the past what's everyone's thoughts on stubble height when chopping in a strip till system??
As high as the combine can cut.
Without sounding thick, 3 reasons?For purely arable where you aren't baling then same as above.

I do not believe any tine drills can do this properly. It will result in lumbs and a terrible landscape with large differences in germination. They pull stubble together. Narrow tines can perhaps help for better results?
Except from one situation: drilling between the stubble rows with RTK GPS and narrow tines like seed- hawk and John Dale drill types.
On the other hand i will say that this is the solution for the pure no-distubance disc drills! They can operate better in high stubble because the hair pinning problem is eliminated in situations with a lot of straw at high grain yields.
Sounds great. Photos?I have found that the Mzuri manages very well in this situation with excellent ability to deal with trash long or short.

Does the machine have cutting discs in front of the tines then ??I have found that the Mzuri manages very well in this situation with excellent ability to deal with trash long or short.

I think as a rule of thumb you would be right. I'd say not too much taller than the width between the tines would be ideal. Definitely risking it if the stubble is twice as long as the gap between the tines.
Because I sell straw and I my father goes beserk if I try to cut higher we tend to still cut low but in an ideal world I'd cut at about 12" or as high as possible if chopping straw with a disc drill.
