[QUOTE="Michael S, post: 1772446, member: 419"] I think for fuel efficiency you shouldn't go below a depth of half the tine spacing, however that assumes the tines are mounted in a row, but if mounted with alternate tines in different rows I'm not sure that applies. Also the depth shouldn't be more than six times the width of the foot under normal dry conditions, less if it is wet, or the soil won't be lifted but instead it will be compacted just above the foot. That is why subsoiling in the wet should be avoided. As for those of you with loads of top soil you should know how lucky you are, here we have flecks of subsoil showing when ploughing 8 inches deep in most fields. Michael [/QUOTE]
