We do exactly as Dave says. Try to chisel all or as much as we can in the fall. Our Glencoe soil saver has a short spike leveler on the back of it. Fall chiseling helps our fields dry out much faster in the spring and keeps the weeds from coming in as fast. Then, spring time rolls around, we run the Sunflower field cultivator over it, it has a 5 bar spike leveler, and plant it. Now in fields that got a bit grassy, or our stony fields, we use our smaller Wil-Rich field cultivator with no leveler, with a cultipacker behind it to flatten any clumps and push down any rocks. And when I say rocks, I mean ROCKS! We run a rock picker over the fields, but if we took all the rocks out, we'd have a low spot lol. We rarely use our disc anymore, once the stalks go through the soil saver, they are pretty much done. We have now started chopping our stalks with a flail, which can eliminate the need to chisel, but we still like to anyway just to help with spring drying. We could just run the field cultivator over it after chopping, but it doesn't dig as deep as the soil saver will. The rocks are pretty hard on the disc blades, so we just use the field cultivator to pull up the big ones, which we remove, then push the small ones back down.

She smoked terribly and never had much power but he couldn't afford another so he was limping along with what he had. Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
