WC Iowa | #1- It starts with the chopper on the combine. well cut straw out the back will make your spring much easier. Also some varieties are just tough stemmed and don't cut apart nice especially if harvested as green wet stems.
Now that you cant change that from last year, go deeper and move more dirt to help have dirt mixed with trash to keep the stems out the back moving through the harrow teeth instead of being light fluffy dragging into piles. Also on the deere harrows with spring tines, new teeth make a world of difference. Since you cant adjust harrow height, only angle, the new teeth allow it to keep the harrow in the ground at a flatter angle allowing trash to flow through easier and yet they are long enough to engage the ground and kick up dirt and help keep the stubble moving through. We fought ours for two years occasionally bunching, teeth looked plenty good (were wore down about 2 inches) compared to how far we have run them on the Wil-Rich cultivators. Decided to put all new on and all the problems went away and it is smoother behind it again. Good luck but your best bet now is deeper. | |
