| Disks I found excellent at deflating fluffy moldboard plowed ground. That looked like packing. Disks had no effect on grasses but if pulled 9 mph some weeds would be tossed into the air to land root exposed and to dry.
Field cultivator with the right sharp edged shovels were effective at cutting off spring weeds like grass and wild mustard the the disk left behind. Before I went notill, I plowed in the spring disked three times until I added a couple spring tooth bars to the disk, then I disked twice, and after either disking I made one pass with the field cultivator with three spring tooth bars on the back and I had a beautiful looking seed bed.
The disk was much better at leveling plow furrows than the FC.
