Hey all,

We just upgraded our old one way plow to a five furrow semi-mount overum rollover.  It works amazing, leaves no finish and cuts almost a third off our time.  However, it leaves almost a 100ft headland to work with, and we lost any time gained last year on plowing headlands.  Does anybody have an idea of how to fix this? Either by making a smaller headland or a tillage tool that can manage headlands quicker?  Any thoughts are appreciated!

If you don't mind me asking what are you calling headlands

the end of the field where you need to turn around

unfortunately i dont know that there is any way to make the headlands smaller. way back when, we used to have a 5 bottom semi mount plow and we never could figure out how to have smaller headlands. have you ever gave any thought to just running a chisel plow over the head lands? that would be quicker and easier to do

I have seen neighbors chisel plow headlands

Did they spray them down first? Most of our stubble has pretty dense redclover and we use a plow to kill it but a chisel plow wont.
