Subject: Re: Leveling no-till land


We have been leveling out fields that have old disk ridges by first burying the residue with a disk (not the disk that made the ridges in the first place), then hitting it with a pull type grader blade perpendicular to the ridges. Then we go over it with a field cultivator 2-3 times at different angles each time. It may need to be worked with a chisle plow after the blade/land plane, before the cultivator if the ground is hard. Its a lot of passes, and takes a lot of time and fuel, and I hate working notill gound, but you only want to level a field once. I have a field that we were in a hurry to level and although it is much better, I can still feel the old disk ridges as the front of the tractor rises and falls every 25'.
