Answer

Have to know what kind of soil your working with. Here in wc ia it's too late to run a chisel plow, you'll never get the clods broke down. If it were fit and middle of March I've had good results.  If your farming lighter soils probably won't cause near as many problems.

Spring 2019 I used an M&W Earthmaster without the ripper, early when it wasn’t too wet. The disk plow left the ground in good shape. Later did the normal field cultivator just one pass before planting.

Answer

I’ve actually been chisel plowing some land this spring. Most has has been heavenly grazed by cattle, so I’m simply doing it to break up compaction. It’ll be hit with a field cultivator/finisher in a few weeks or after it rains, then planted in early May with an 1890 air drill.
