pends on the type of soil.. if you have clay or hard packed, renovators will allow water penatration and help a bunch.. if you have sandy loam or surgar sand, your wasting your time and money.
If you have a planted coastal field or kline field a renavator will go through and leave the field clean and flat, perfect for haying.
if you have a native field, a sub soiler will not hurt before you plant coastal, kline, world feeder, or whatever... but you would disc the field back to a flat condition before you sprig or plant.
after its planted, again a renovator will leave it flat and clean for haying. a subsoil will leave it full of rolls, hills and valleys unless you disc it out.
