Think I have a similar problem. Bot an 8' cultivator at a sale recently and tried to plow up the garden before tilling. Took the outside sweeps off so I was only going just over the width of the tractor. Used the wider sweeps thinking it turn more ground like a plow but sounds like I should use the narrow ones as it didn't go as deep as I want. Came back with the front tine tiller and still doesn't break up the clods well.
After planting potatoes, tomatoes, etc., now I want to break some new sod to extend the garden when it quits raining. Afraid I will have the same problem with too many clods and for this part I need fine soil for planting things like radishes, lettuce, etc.
Any ideas here with our clay/loam soil? Thinking about bolting on some kind of vertical ripper blade. Then thinking about making some kind of a spiked harrow to drag over it. I also have a 10' spring tooth but the teeth are spread to far to break much up.
