Looking at buying a used 15 footer,3pth, with rubber tired, gauge wheels. Do they work well at smoothing the surface? Are they the wrong tool on stony ground? Any experiences and advice welcome. Thanks.

Kent: Any of these S tine cultivators do a good job of findng every stone in the field. The gauge wheels are a must. The older ones had an attachment at front called a levelling beam or plank. This worked well when you disked the field in advance. They also are best with crumblers behind.

Two great facts of life when farming stony ground. Disks bury stones, spring teeth lay them on top. I always used disk for most of tillage followed by S tine with levelling plank, gauge wheels and crumbler for a final pass before seeding. Gauge wheels and plank will help control depth and do an excellent smooth seed bed.

The other thing you can do with these, and I used to do this with some fields each year. Let the S tine go about 8" deep for about 3 passes in different directions. This will lay most stones on top, let it get rained on to wash stones off and settle soil. When it dries, bring in a mechanical rock picker, pick the damn stones and your good for a few years. In NB old man winter will have a habit of heaving more stones up in time.

Hi Hugh. I was afraid you were going to say that. My father in law is of the same mind as far as discing only. I , on the other hand, grew up thinking that you need to work the fields every few years, pick rocks,kill roots, and level out previous miscalculations. I am learning slowly. The harrow is being sold by the family of a man killed when he slipped into his combine grain tank to dislodge some frosted corn, and was caught by the augur. He got out and back to his seat, but bled to death before help arrived. Thanks for the info. Kent.

That's David Carlisle's old harrow from Keswick Ridge. I knew his daughter well and my mom looked after his mother in law for years before she died.

It's a shame but he never was the patient one. Too bad he had to pay for it... His son was running the farm a bit but went out west to drive truck. Most of their land is leased out now.

Sure send it along, f518t at hotmail dot com trying to keep the spammers at bay.

A friend of mine split their work with them last year. He has gone to no-till to try and save some fuel bit I think they are keeping the big Res-Till just in case. The thing is a big chisel I believe with an s-tine harrow behind.
