Subject: Re: Disk-vs-field cultivator


We used to cultivate and then disc while applying herbicide at same time. I found that the ground worked with disc would always crust alot worse since like other say it takes the fluff out of the soil. Newer cultivators can all handle residue really well and the finishing attachments have improved greatly compared to 20 years ago. We have tried different attachments and if you are going to run over corn stalks then I would recommend the three bar coil with roller or go with full coil and pulling a crumbler. On rocks, discs are no fun to straighten out blades and cultivators you can run shallow if needed. Not sure what type of soil or previous residue you are working but a Lemken is another type of tillage to consider.
