Any thoughts on how effective it is ?
Considering getting one as the paraplow followed by the press is leaving it to soft for the GD to follow later in the wet.
Wouldn’t bother as very happy with the paraplow, but have to do all the farm again this year as it’s all washed together with all the rain, not far enough into conversion yet for the land to cope with all the wet.

I have one and I like it other than the cost of wearing metal.

I now use third party wearing metal which last longer and are far better value.

This is a quick video of it working in maize stubbles. It’s a very light field but removed all
Compaction.

This was Feb after stubble turnips.

It also works well in grass but no videos of that I’m afraid.

Thanks, catch 22, want to shatter the profile with minimal surface disturbance.

Buy a cousins v form with a packer roller not a dd packer and fit it with quivogne Pluto tines . A lot cheaper than a stealth and will do just as good a job . I can make you the tine adapters if you want some .

In grass you would nit know it’s been thru unless you get a spade out.

The second video was ground already worked with a RAU cultivator but it need a pan removing after.

Barley was drilled right into that after.

If you really like the paraplow legs it wouldn't be too huge a job to find an existing cultivator with a packer and retrofit some paraplow legs to them. Don't spaldings or someone sell paraplow lookalike legs and wearing parts?

If you bought a wide(r) old Sumo, Simba mono or flatlift or similar you might be able to drag more legs than an old paraplow would allow you to and get more done in a day?

The only reason I’m looking at the Stealth is due to the paraplow being to good, I need a little less loosening

I have exactly this, though with dd packer. Pluton legs from metcalfe. Is excellent and cost a fraction of price
