Jim,
I would imagine that most folks would also be wanting to cover some ground and get as much done in a day as possible. I was in no hurry and did all my work in low gear......no need in destroying the clutch or tearing something up.......if a truly big rock was encountered 2 feet deep.
Most hard pan is just below regular plowing depth....8" to 12" deep and 16" subsoiling should get it all. If I ran my single shank subsoiler at 16".......I could seemingly fly with it...hehe!
We have been in a drought this summer and the ground is so hard and bone dry. It was a great opportunity for me to hit that spot that generally is wet during a normal year. The mole ball makes a nice channel for the water to follow...at least that"s the theory.
And as for depth of penetration....yep, I measured how deep the shank was going...24"-25".
Still yet, I am surprised at how hard it is, to pull a narrow subsoiler through hard ground....it"s like dropping anchor!
