Looking for advice on what is the best and less expensive way to re plant rutted, pot holed, ground hog dug weed infested hay land. Several fields, the largest is no bigger than say 15 acres. There are some parameters that I need to follow. The biggest one is no chemicals as some of the fields are not ours and several are organic. I understand soil testing and proper solutions to soil amendments .
Been reading this forum up and down and a few others. Largest tractor is 105HP and already own a 10' Brillion SS
- Been considering purchasing a tiller 8 to10 foot) and cultimulcher or some sort of finisher like a Perfecta. (first choice)
- Do I go the Disc / cultivator / finisher route
- Ripper run shallow?
- Can I use the Brillion SS as a packer and not run seed through through the first pass?
Our soil is varied from hard pan clay to bony silt to loam. It depends on what field.
Time is on my side, so going a little slower is ok. A few more passes is also ok as the fields are relatively small.
I hate to invest a lot of money in tools that will mostly sit for years to come. As well as a lot of tools.
There are a few custom folks around that will off set disc and power harrow but they charge a lot (rightfully so), particularly to do small fields as travel must be accounted for.
Thank you in advance
Michael
