Never had any luck plowing 2 times in a
season. Most especially sod. It only plugs up
the plow & makes a mess the second time. 'Round here you plow in fall, let winter mellow
the lumps, disk & harrow it in spring. Today
with the bigger tractors & clearance, a field
cultivator with a harrow bar is the only
secondary tillage used - much better than a
disk 90% of the time. Might not find a usable
one for a small tractor tho. Not typical on a pasture, but he might have a
hardpan - esp if this is clay soil. That is the
only time it's a help to go real deep in the
ground, and then with a ripper of some sort,
and then only every few years. Hardpan is a
compacted layer an inch or 2 thick that roots,
water, or nothing can penetrate, it forms about
8 inches deep where clay particles settle in
the ground & about cement themselves. It is
often the line between topsoil & subsoil.
Heavy traffic i wet soil or always plowing to the
same level will form it moreso. --->Paul
