Set up a friend with the quad and mower and he hooked a tree with axle

Then a broken cotter pin added an hr to my day

[OkieKubota]

Those rocks don't hurt a tiller?

Congrats on getting it done...we have a few more weeks before we plant down here....

For the record I was not the friend who broke John's equipment

Looking good John! Hoping we get some good rains now because last year was terrible.

Ya I'm curious about the rocks also. Looks like you have rocks about like my Ozarks ground. Your soil looks much better though.

 

[Sam]

looks good

 

[dogdoc]

Great looking soil. Your perennial plot is looking good.

 

[lakngolf]

Hate you had some equipment issues, but plot is looking great. Good luck with it.

 

[Tenured Student]

Great looking place. Like always, Murphy seemed to Live And Well !

Tiller has a slip clutch so while it does get stuck as long as I step on the clutch right away its fine. I tried york raking first but it was just stripping all the topsoil off.

I'd love your rock numbers....it's why I use a disc.

I have one 3 acre plot that I have done most of my rock picking on. I remember the first time I plowed the ground after having it dozed I was impressed with the lack of rocks. It came a good rain and I looked at it again to see nothing but rocks. I try not to work the dirt much on the rockiest part of it anymore. I'm pretty sure I could not use a tiller in that field.
