[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 1773082, member: 166"] The [I]critical depth limit[/I] for a tine is [B]6 times the width of the tine[/B]. Deeper than this & the heave will fail due to compression resistance. To go deep the obvious method is to add wings, hence why subsoilers have them. 2' (60cm) spacings on your subsoiler legs with 9" point+ wing allows you to work a max depth of 54" or a theoretical limit of 4'6"! The exception to the rule is a mole plough but you're not really looking for shatter above the point though it's a side benefit if the soil is plastic at mole depth & friable above that. To move the whole soil profile at a shallower depth you'll need a narrower spacing, which was Jim's question! Different soil types will need different spacing for the same depth & outcome. See the attachment for a better understanding on how it all works. [/QUOTE]
