Deep southern Illinois | Buy a cheap old disk you don’t love, and find an older neighbor with nothing to do. Fill tractor with fuel, and tell him to disk until he’s out of fuel. Pick up pieces with skid steer grapple/rake as well as you can, then fill tractor with fuel and call your neighbor again. Repeat until you think you’re capable of picking up anything that could damage a planter, then Plant corn, it’ll be slow with a bean head in the fall.
A cheap consignment auction chisel plow run in 1st gear repeatedly is good for finding surprises. Around here we call it exploratory tillage. It’s great if the thing that breaks when you hit something major isn’t expensive.
You’ll need it to get dry for this to work. Really dry sure helps. You will get through this, it’ll get better. | |
