Kioti CK30
I just traded my ATV Bush Hog for a five blade Chisel Plow with springs. I plan to use the chisel to break up some pasture land for wildlife planting. Last year I successfully used the diggers on a box blade, but had problems with the grass clogging. Should not have so much of that problem with the chisel.

What helpful hints do I need to know before putting this plow to work? The land is fairly sandy but is covered with bermuda grass and fescue.

BTW, the dealer from whom I got the plow is a small operation very close to my house in rural central Alabama. He mainly has new three point equiment, trailers, and every now and then has a used tractor on his lot. When I told him I had a Kioti CK30, he said "Those are good tractors. As a matter of fact, they have been talking with him about becoming a dealer" I suggested he go for it, but found that interesting given the dealers Kioti had pulled the plug on recently. Perhaps location is the key.

Just wonder if your tractor is big enough to pull a 5 blade. Everywhere I look I see 10-15 HP per blade.

Although the pasture is heavy in grazing material, the underlying soil is sandy loam. It pulled the box blade with diggers all the way down. I know the chisel blades will be deeper, and will remove a blade if I have to.
