Tackling Tough Ground with the John Deere 2430 Chisel Plow

May 03, 2019

Whether you’re taking on a large portion of land all at once or planning out a week’s worth of work, the 2430 Chisel Plow from John Deere can help you with the task at hand. The hydraulically adjusted knife-edge rolling baskets are specifically designed to shrug off rocks, break up clods, and leave a smooth field finish in one pass. The internal basket scrapers also reduce plugging and allow users to run the baskets 100 percent of the time for the utmost efficiency.

Let’s take a look at some of the highlights of the 2430 Chisel Plow and how it can help you out in the field this season.

TruSet Tillage Technology

With TruSet Tillage Technology, precise depth control is not a problem for producers. Adjustments can be made on the move, increasing productivity and making the day go smoother for operators. TruSet provides accurate and precise depth control, and the depth is displayed to the nearest 2.5mm. With TruSet Side-to-Side, operators have the same level of individual section control that was initially available with AccuDepth hydraulics.

Radial Tires

Radial tires are specially designed to reduce compaction points while operating in the field. This minimizes downtime that can be caused by tire failures in both the field and during transportation. Radial tires also have a wider tire plate and lower inflation pressure. This means they have a larger contact area with the ground to help minimize compaction.

Walk-Over Wheels

The 2430 Chisel Plow has walk-over wheels, which provide a consistent working depth on uneven ground for level seedbeds and maximum weed control. The staggered design of the wheels provides extra room for residue flow and obstacles as well.

Video: Is China Buying US Soybeans + USDA Nov 14th Crop Report could be “Game Changing”

After a week of a U.S./China trade truce, markets/trade is skeptical that we have not seen a signed agreement nor heard much from China or seen any details. There are rumors that China is buying soybean futures & not the physical. Trust in Trump?
12 MMT of U.S. soybean purchases by China by year-end is better than 0 but we all need to give it more time and give it a chance to unfold. China did lower the tariffs on Ag and is buying U.S. wheat and sorghum.
U.S. supreme court could rule against Trumps tariffs, but the Trump administration does have a plan B.
U.S. government shutdown is now the longest in history at 38 days.
But despite a U.S. government shutdown we will be getting a USDA November crop report next Friday and it could be “game changing.” If the USDA provides a bullish surprise with lower U.S. corn and soybean yields and ending stocks that are lower than expected both corn and soybean futures will break out above their ceilings at $4.35/bu and $11.35/bu respectively.
The funds continued their selling in live and feeder cattle futures on continued fears that the Trump administration want to lower U.S. beef prices. The fundamentals have not changed, only market psychology has.
Stocks markets continue to worry about a weak U.S. job market, but you can blame ChatGPT for that. In the future, we will have a more efficient, productive and growing economy with a higher unemployment rate until we have more skilled AI workers.
After 34 new record highs in the S & P 500 and 124 new records in the NASDAQ in 2025 we are back to a correction and investor profit taking as AI valuations may have gotten too stretched near-term ahead of NVDA’s 3rd quarter earnings announcement on Nov. 19th. But this is not an AI bubble.
