Has anyone tried subsoiling ?

[boarderbloke]

Just wondering what experiences anyone here, has had with subsoiling. Interested in results from working low spots, flats, or shallows on flat land. Does it improve the disappearance of ponding water from spring runoff? How deep does one need to go to see results? How long will the tillage show results? Any opinion on subsoiling saline areas to improve drainage?

Thought about doing subs piling as well in low areas on about 5 - 6 1/4's
I see what your saying case but we are not typically over wet - and I know that can change
But we have very heavy yellow clay under these areas that will not let water through and these particular field can not be tile drained any where so subsoil tillage may work ? I Duno but I may try it this fall "if it works out " lol . Time will tell

we're subsoiling with combine duals this year, lol

Good luck , ya even though we are getting annoyed with pissy rains every 24 hrs we are not dealing with water
Good on you guys for "keeping the wheels turning "
There are guys not far from here that have been combining fairly steady and dodging most showers . Good to see other areas making progress

I agree on the tillage radish although it's a bit late to get the full effect.

Re sub soiling in saline areas, it may have the opposite effect in that it may (likely) will allow water to flow upwards easier making the salinity worse.

Need lots of hp and time. Slow process. Didnt see great results but didnt hurt. One thing I did notice the following year was the sprayer had to work twice as hard with the skinny tires on. Definitely softened it up.

Around here subsoiling will give your stonepicker lots of work!
