What you really need is a ROME disc. They will CUT roots , BUT the down side to a true Rome DISC is it takes LOTS of power and traction . I have cleared land for highways and the two the company had would make a D 8 H snort and slice thru and 8 inch root and spit out one foot chunks from the ft gang and the back gang split that in half and cut into the ground over a foot deep and take a fourteen foot swipe . A Standard off set like a 10 footer even in hard ground on first pass with the notched blade on both gangs will get down four or five inches on first pass and chop up small roots . tryen to run a moldboard thru stuff like that can become really dangerous , I have snagged roots with a moldboard plow more then once along tree lines and flat up and stood the tractor in the air and it happens REAL fast , Looking down the exhaust pipe inspecting the inside of the muffler or looking only at stars at night can bring on racing strips in your shorts FAST . Next best way is a three shank ripper on the back of a dozer getting down to around 18 inches , or the tillage tool we now use over the moldboard , this is a barnyard creation that someone else did up . Who ever built it took a 9 shank disk chisel and removed the 9 shanks and replaced them with FIVE D M I parabolic shanks with the 7.5 inch tiger points , now here again this takes LOTS of power and traction , even at 14 inches it taken over 200 Hp and all the weight we have and we are still lacking pony power and traction As we can NOT Go up the hills on the flat we are fine and on slight grades Ok . What we need is a true bend in the middle 250 Hp tractor that weighs in at around 30 K . Thrust me this will find roots and ROCK , i have found rocks that have not seen the light of day in 10 million years .

Today's Featured Article - Restoring a John Deere 2010 Diesel Tractor - by Jim Nielsen. Following seven years working in California's Silicon Valley, my wife, baby son and I moved back to Australia to retire. We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
