Flexi Disc drill, any experience

I know a guy that tried to trade one in and they wouldn't take it, said he would make me a good deal, it has been changed to 10" spacing, I cant remember but I think it was in the 35-40 ft range. I know these things pull like a lead sled but seem to raise a good crop. I like that they move a fair bit of dirt. I know they are high maintenance but how bad are they, I have heard of people removing parts to save hair pulling out but I don't know enough.


I have been raising some pretty good corn lately and I am running into residue problems in places and I figure I can buy this for far less than a vertical till machine so I would only be using it in problematic areas.


Also before I make the mistake of buying it has anyone used them in corn and if so what kind of yields and populations and how did it work. I would like to do more corn on corn in the near future as a way to build soil but my seed master wont have nothing to do with it


thanks in advance
