Looking for a tillage tool to break up clods. Right now we use a disk with a spike tooth harrow. This soil is high in clay content. I have seen the baskets that look like rotary mowers - is this the ticket? Would like to hook this behind disk or field culivator but it would be ok by itself - - the goal is t make soil more fine.

Ron, the key is the amount of moisture in the clods; nothing will break them up after they harden up; after a rain, any harrow, do-all, cultivator, etc will tear them up. Can't really explain how wet/dry they need to be; a matter of experience or experimentation.

A crumbler would work or maybe even a cultipacker. We have a large garden and use a three point rotary hoe to break the clods up. Good luck!
