Hi All,

I can remember as a youth thinking that this was work.

Hottern' Billy He!!, wind blowin', scortchin sun and dirty! Just about perfect conditions, I'm thinkin', as long as there is an old tractor involved. :>)

I'm winnin' today; weeds don't stand a chance with that Vibra Shank.

Any of you midwest guys use something called a "rod weeder" for summer fallow? They're commonly used in the dryer parts of eastern Washington wheat country, where they still summer fallow. Basically a carrier like a tagalong cultivator, but with a square rod about 1" in cross section that runs crossways about 2 inches under ground level, and rotates (driven by the ground wheels of the contraption). Cuts off the weeds below ground level, while leaving the surface crust pretty much undisturbed, and supposedly greatly conserves moisture in the soil profile.

Allen for thway you like to work ground,I have a disc mulcher that would really work in your situations. It basically is like putting you field cultivator and cultimulcher in one unit. Also style units that you are using asre scrp price around here 40ft units 200.00 etc. Get you a fuerst harro pull behin your old unuit if you want to seal the ground. How do you gett seeding to come when you worked ground that many times and still have moisture to seed this fall. I always seed in the spring have way better goodluck. Its all notilled.

How come you're not stripping it? You going to seed it all down, or are you not afraid of the wind? Nice pictures.

Hi Dave,

Plan is to plant it all this fall and fall plow another 60 acres of sod and alfalfa for the "other half".

It blows here, but not quite like it does over in your country.

That makes sense. I noticed today how the neighbors wheat strips looked pretty good from the tractor seat. I imagine he's been praying for some rain though.

Bob,

That sounds like a heck of a plan. Can a guy still get those things? Like for 18' wide?

That would really be the cat's meow for saving the moisture. I've got a few rough spots of clay that I'm going to hit with the packer tomorrow just to break of some of that old sod clods.

Allan, those Remlinger harrows are made at Kalida, Ohio by Remlinger Manufactruring. On remlinger just remove the Re and replace by Hel and you have my last name and it is approximatly 35 mile from home where they are made. Wish you had some of this excess rain we have been having, havent been able to get crops in because of all the mud.

Allen,if you mean a cultimulcher,there are some 15' brillion around for $1000 to $2000,15' works good to pull your drill behind it to do both jobs in one pass,Bob.

Allan,

I know you've probably been asked this a dozen times, but could you tell us what general area in Nebraska you call home?

Thanks,

Stan - Melbourne, FL

Nice to see someone else appreciates the work a good field cultivator can do- instead of all those high maintenance, ground packing discs! They run for years without any more repairs than new shovels.

JM,

I never could afford one of the things back when they were all the rage, but now that they are "frowned upon" by the big boys, I got my turn.

I'm impressed with the tool. Just like a corn cultivator only it covers more real estate. Death on the weeds too. :>)

So what are the big boys in your area using- around here it's been FC's for decades. Sure, there was that spurt for Danish tine harrows for a last pass before planting, but too many thought they should use it as a first pass after fall tillage, and that did not pan out- just didn't work the ground enough. Until I got the heavy offset, the only time I used a disc was after moldboarding alfalfa. Disc was too much maintenance with the rocks we have. I can count broken pieces on the FC's over the last 30 years- next to nothing. Always run with a mounted tine harrow behind and it makes a good seedbed. If I could afford only one machine- the FC would be it. Never understood the fixation on discs.

Allen...I enjoy your pictures very much. I don't say much, just read but I do enjoy your stuff. Flat...darn, it's flat...probably real quiet also. I'd play there.

They are setting up a consignment auction away's from here. Just got back, 2 of them just like it rolled in from the same farm. There is a 656D alongside a 4020D both with new paint. Tempting. Lots of other old iron there. Bob

I spent a lot of my younger years towing that same vibra shank (18 1/2 feet, right?) with a 706. We found those wings to be a man killer (or in my case boy killer) so we bolted them solid. Riding an open tractor in the hot sun was still a lot easier work than some of the other things my Dad could think of.
