The Internet

Supa Dexta - 1/6/2020 12:15 Yeah I would tackle that with a rototiller, the heaviest of which would be actually called a stone crusher.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-oXIR_QOBA But if those clods will break up without much fuss when hit, a rotary tiller should do the job, albeit somewhat slow going. power harrows flails are too light duty I think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKuq8BNHxEE

 

IIRC those stone crushers are used to stabilise ground on construction sites, I've seen them a lot on road building projects on continental Europe. A mate of mine hired one on a sports pitch build he was doing, they are cripplingly expensive to run, you're looking at thousands/hectare and a very slow work rate.

A power harrow will break the clods up and the tines won't break (they'll break your foot if you ever drop on on it when you change them), we have a Massey 8737 on ours and in certain conditions it's all the tractor wants. The OP will just have wait until the conditions are right for what ever tool he decides to use to work.

This is the one we have https://www.maschio.co.uk/products/power-harrows/jumbo-rapido-plus-p...
