New to all this and don't have a clue. Hogs like to frequent my place and have torn up about two acres. I have a MF35. What implement would be best to bust the mess up and smooth it out? And does anyone know of internet sites that provide detailed explanations on proper implement use?

Thanks

I got two pieces of rail road iron 16' long, chained one bebind the other and made a cable hitch to hook to the ol JD AW and went to work. When I got done you could have played pool anywhere in the field. P.S. I traded the section forman a fifth of Jack Danials for the rails. Made it a pretty cheap way to leavel my hay fields. Good luck and the .270 isn't a bad idea either LOL

Thanks for all the responses. They provided some good ideas on things I can "rig up" and try without spending money and also pointed me in the direction of disc harrows. I'll be on the lookout for a good deal on a used disc.

Make sure the disc is rigid, not flexible

I use a 20x10 section of chain link fence with posts 5x5 on each end and pallets with rocks or blocks in the middle. levels a field really nice and you can run what ever way you want.

I use an 8' rigid disc harrow with a wooden railroad tie crossways behind it and a spiketooth harrow behind that. I pull it with a JD 420 crawler. If it's real rough overlap half and if necessary go over it again. Always go in the same direction, back and forth, not round and round.

I run a .270 with 140 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips. After that I follow up with 10' disk with a piece of railroad iron as a drag behind my Oliver 550 Dsl. NOTE: Leaving entrails in the field does not scare off the remaining survivors. Only solution I have found is repeated applications of .270 :)

"Entrails"?? Isn't that what jet planes leave behind them when they're at a high altitude? LOL.

We pull a 26 foot truck frame to level alfalfa fields. Cheap and does a great job of leveling. Anyone that says a good farmer doesn't need to level a field has never pulled something that is 26 foot with no flex. It will amaze you how uneven a field is. It takes 100 hp. Min. to pull it. Try a piece of railroad rail or something heavy like that.
