As I've mentioned before, we are the Saudia Arabia of rocks, from small potato to basket ball size and larger at times. Plowing isn't an option IMHO. I had pretty good success with hitting a field I reclaimed earlier this year with a combo of roundup, repeated disking, broadcasting seed (for hay) and cultipacking.
IMHO - this is very hard on the disk harrow.
BTW - is it disC or disK harrow.... LOL!
I've considered a 3 pt mounted tiller, only tilling down a few inches - but am wondering if there is a better implement? I can see a tiller holding up for a few acres, but 10 or 20 acres at a time over the years - I have my doubts.
Is there another way, another implement that will rough up the dead sod and give me a shallow planting surface for Timothy, orchard grass or alfalfa?
Thanks!
Bill
