SC Wisconsin | Been renting my dad's 7140 or 215 and tillage equipment to do my heavy tillage work since I started farming. Finally got a round to buying a 7140 of my own this week. Already have a chisel plow I pulled with his 7140 so I'm good there. Always used his 26' 4200 (or maybe 4600 I can't recall) cih finisher pulling a single basket dmi behind it. I love the job that setup does, the 215 didn't pull it as fast as the 7140 did though. Anyways, looking to get my own soil finisher and rolling basket now. What older used ones should I look at? I'm not totally opposed to a field cultivator, but it's been a long time since dad had one and I remember his doing a less than desirable job. I remove the stalks and bean stubble off of nearly all my acres for bedding except for a couple small pieces that are either to far to haul manure on or more prone to erosion. I'm meticulous about spreading my pen pack and doing a very even job, no big piles. Everything gets chiseled in the fall except for some bean stubble that I will leave for winter spreading. Knife nh3 on the bean stubble going to corn in the spring, opens the ground up nicely so the manure isn't matted down. I do one pass on everything with the finisher and plant. So that's my situation, if you think I would be satisfied with a field cultivator don't be afraid to suggest something, but im mainly looking at finishers that will do a satisfactory job of seed bed preparation without breaking the bank. Thank you
