Get it level. Do it any way you can. There's no reason to break a front axle in a pig hole just because someone wants to spend more time assuring their dew worms are happy than make a profit. I've no-tilled for probably better than 25 years...and there are still some fields I cuss myself for not getting the dead furrows worked out of before beginning no-till. If you're only going 2-3" deep, you're not destroying soil structure, you're mixing your residue and humus up, which decomposes it a little faster. Big deal...plant a couple years of cover crops after your harvest...and the humus will probably be right back to where you started. Sometimes the comments of the radicals just don't make much sense.
Sound advice.
I no-till, but unlike some, I don't have the tattoos to prove it.
