I have been having trouble working dirt down to where it will provide a good seed bed for corn or soybeans. Always have larger clods of
dirt than I want. The field was highly compacted. Last week I bought a ripper and went through the field. Large islands 3 foot long and huge dirt balls.
Yesterday I ran a disk over it to chop up the big ones. I know that the ripper is to be used in the fall but with last years yield I had to something this spring.
Attached is a picture of the field.
I need some advice that comes from experience. My question is what equipment to use to get this into much better shape. I currently have a disk, field cultivator, small cultipacker,
and rolling baskets. Not been able to get it with these. What other equipment would I look at to get it broke up?
