2430 Chisel Plow

The 2430 Chisel Plow has excellent residue-handling capability in primary tillage at all residue levels.

Typical percentages of residue cover remaining from the 2430 are listed in the following table. The percentages do not consider variables such as the condition of the residue, speed, and soil type.

For machines with 305-mm (12-in.) spacing:

Starting residue cover (percent)	Remaining non-fragile* residue cover (percent)				Remaining fragile** residue cover (percent)
Starting residue cover (percent)	406-mm (16-in.) sweeps	51-mm x 356-mm (2-in. x 14-in.) chisel point	102-mm x 368-mm (4-in. x 14.5-in.) shovel	406-mm (16-in.) sweeps	51-mm x 356-mm (2-in. x 14-in.) chisel point	51-mm x 356-mm (2-in. x 14-in.) chisel point	406-mm (16-in.) sweeps	51-mm x 356-mm (2-in. x 14-in.) chisel point

*Non-fragile residue includes crops like corn, sorghum, wheat than 1585.8 L [45 bu]).

**Fragile residue includes crops like soybeans, edible beans, peas, wheat (under 1585.8 L [45 bu]), sunflower, peanuts, and cotton.
